PURPOSE OF MANUAL

This manual addresses safety warnings and precautions, assembly instructions and

operating procedures. Keep your purchase order # with this manual and write it on the

inside of the front cover in case you need customer support assistance later.

SAFETY WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: When using this tool, safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the

risk of personal injury and damage to equipment. Read all instructions before assembly and

use of this tool!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Use standard welding safety

procedures to ensure safety, cleanliness and efficiency of your welding experience

throughout the entirety of this manual.

2. Do not expose the tool or welder to damp or wet locations. Do not expose to rain.

Keep area well lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of

flammable gases or liquids. Observe work area conditions always.

3. Use ANSI approved welding helmet and respirator when working around metal, wood

and chemical dusts and mists.

4. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do

the work of a larger industrial tool. This tool is designed to work specifically with

Lotos Technology welding machines ONLY! It is not compatible with other brand

machines or accessories and can cause damage to your machine if forced

assembled.

5. Maintain tools with care. Inspect hoses periodically and if damaged have them

replaced by a qualified technician.

6. Check damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its

intended function. Check for alignment and compatibility of all parts with your

machine, cables, accessories and parts. If any part is damaged it should be replaced

before operating the machine for safety precaution.

7. Replacement parts and Accessories. When servicing use only identical and

guaranteed authentic Lotos replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the

warranty.

8. Approved accessories and parts are available from Lotos Technology only. Please

contact our customer support team if you require assistance.

ASSEMBLY

Follow assembly instructions carefully. Deviation from safety and operation precautions can result in

fire, explosion, damage to equipment or injury to the operator.

Compressed Gas Cylinders & Regulators:

1) Place and secure the cylinders together where they will be used (on a welding cart, wall, work

bench or post with chains). Cylinders must remain in a vertical position and must always be

properly secured.

2) Remove protector cap from each cylinder and examine the outlet nozzles closely. Make sure

that connections and screws are not damaged or can cause a leak.

3) Clean cylinder valves by cracking. In order to clean the cylinder valve briefly open and close

“crack” each cylinder valve to dislodge any dirt, dust or rust that may be present. These

particles if not cleaned out will drift into the regulator when the valve is opened. Wipe

connectors with a clean cloth.

4) Examine hoses carefully before each use. If there are cuts, burns or worn areas on the hose

it will need to be replaced. Fittings should also be checked for damage. If any damage is

found the parts will need to be replaced for proper function and safety assurance.

How to Assemble AR04 Argon Regulator to your Gas Cylinder & Welder:

1) Connect the argon hose to the outlet fitting and tighten connection firmly with a wrench.

2) If the hose is not entirely fitted make sure to add extra clamps on the fitting end so the gas

can still flow through the hose.

3) Connect the other end of the hose to the welding machine.

4) Check for gas leaks. Once your machine, fittings and installation is secured you can begin to

operate your welding machine.
