The packaging of the Cooler is designed to withstand shipping
abuse, and contains a cardboard liner that surrounds the unit. If
any shipping damage has occurred, contact your certified
Lincoln distributor or service center. When unpacking the unit,
avoid thrusting sharp objects through the carton liner, which
may puncture the plastic reservoir. Save the instruction manual
and service directory supplied with the COOL ARC

INSTALLATION ON POWER SOURCE
The COOL ARC ® 55 can be used as a stand alone
unit or mounted directly to the bottom of the Power
Wave “S” series power source.
Always place the Cool Arc 55 on a level surface to
avoid causing the machine to topple over.
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
(See Figure A.1)
To mount the COOL ARC ® 55 to the bottom of a com-
patible Power Wave “S” series power source utilize
the quick lock mechanism as shown.
If using the COOL ARC
® 55 in conjuntion with another
module such as the STT Module, always mount the
COOL ARC
® 55 on the bottom. The COOL ARC ® 55
will operate in harsh environments and can be used
outdoors. Even so, it is important that simple preven-
tative measures are followed in order to assure long
life and reliable operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air such that movement into
and out of the louvers will not be restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. The use of air filters
on the air intake is not recommended because nor-
mal air flow may be restricted. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in poor cooling perfor-
mance.
• Keep the machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow.
Do not place on wet ground or in puddles.
• Always mount the COOL ARC ® 55 underneath
other machines. Never attach a module under-
neath the cooler.
• Do not mount the Power Wave “S” series power
source and COOL ARC ® 55 combination over com-
bustible surfaces. Where there is a combustible
surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical
equipment, that surface shall be covered with a
steel plate at least .060” (1.6mm) thick, which shall
extend not less than 5.90” (150mm) beyond the
equipment on all sides.
• Avoid placing the cooler near areas of extreme
heat.
• Avoid placing the cooler near a flux hopper or an
area where dust build-up is extreme.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified persons should perform
this installation.
• Turn off the power source at the dis-
connect switch before connecting or
working inside of the equipment.
• Use only grounded receptacle.
• Do not remove the power cord ground prong.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN SKIN
• Always be sure coolant is not hot before
doing any work on cooler parts.
ROTATING FAN BLADES ARE
HAZARDOUS
• Do not put your hands near operating fan.
• Keep all equipment safety guards, covers
and devices in position and in good repair.Keep
hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts,
gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting,
operating or repairing equipment.
• In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards only when necessary and replace them when
the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Always use the greatest care when working near mov-
ing parts.
