Installation/Setup

Selecting A Location
The 175WFG welder should be placed where clean cool air can easily flow through the vents in the front of
the unit. Dirt and dust can be drawn into the unit resulting in excessive operating temperatures and shutdowns,
therefore, dirt and dust around the unit should be kept to a minimum.
The 175WFG welder should be placed on a stable, level surface suitable to hold the unit’s weight.
