TO INSTALL A GAS CYLINDER
1. CAUTION! Do not use an Argon/Mixed pressure regulator/flow meter with CO
2
shielding gas. To use CO
2
shielding gas, you must install a CO
2
gas pressure
regulator/flow meter (neither one included).
2. With assistance, set the cylinder upright against a solid post or other stationary
object and use a chain or a heavy duty strap (neither included) to secure the cylinder
in place. (See Figure M.)
3. Remove the protective cap from the cylinder. Stand to the side of the cylinder valve,
and open the valve slightly to blow dust and dirt from the valve. Then, close the
valve. (See Figure M.)
4. Make sure the Flow Adjust on the Pressure Regulator/Flow Meter is turned off. Then,
screw the Pressure Regulator/Flow Meter firmly onto the cylinder valve.
(See Figure M.)
5. Attach the Gas Hose from the Pressure Regulator/Flow Meter to the Gas Inlet Valve
(17A) located on the Rear Panel (2A) of the Welder. (See Figure M.)
6. Adjust the flow rate of the gas by turning the Flow Adjust. The typical flow rate is 20
cfh (cubic feet per hour). Make sure to check the Welding Wire manufacturer’s
recommended flow rate. (See Figure M.)
