desired, perform the following reconnection instruc-
tions:
1. Disconnect welder from input power and remove
case side panel.
2. Remove lead marked “H3” from CR1 on the control
P.C. Board.
3. Remove tape securing H1 to lead sleeving and
connect H1 to CR1.
4. Insulate unused H3 lead for 300 volts with electri-
cal tape and secure to lead sleeving.
5. Reinstall case side before connecting input power.
208 Volt Input Connection
