To prevent overheating, make sure

cooling unit is positioned so airflow

is not restricted.

NOTICE − When using coolant sys-

tem with a welding power source

with a water valve, bypass water

valve on welding power source by

connecting directly to torch/gun to

avoid overheating, or damage to

coolant system.

! To prevent tipping when

placing unit on uneven or tilt-

ing surfaces, properly se-

cure the coolant system to a

wall, stationary support, or

equivalent rigid structure.
