SUITABLE LOCATION
Location and ventilation for cooling
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through
the case sides and front. Dirt, dust, or any foreign
material that can be drawn into the welder should be
kept at a minimum. The use of air filters on the air
intake is not recommended because normal air flow
may be restricted. Failure to observe these precau-
tions can result in excessive operating temperatures
and nuisance shutdowns.
