Software Installation

The software in the power source may need to be updated before the Cruiser™ Tractor
will operate properly.

Verify the power source is configured as a master and not as a slave.

Connecting the Cruiser™ Tractor to a Computer

1. Computer (PC or laptop) with a Serial Port. A

welder can be upgraded through the computer’s
serial port if one is available. The port is a DE-9 (9-
pin) male connector.

2. Computer (PC or laptop) with a USB Port. If a

computer does not have a serial port, the welder
can be upgraded through one of the computer’s
USB ports with the use of a USB-to-Serial adapter.
