SEctIoN 2

2.1 general

This section provides detailed instructions for the proper installation of the MTS 3500i power source from initial receipt of
the equipment to output welding connections. It is recommended that these instructions be followed carefully to allow for
the best possible operating environment.

2.2 Required tools

Some procedures require use of the following tools:
3/8" wrench, Phillips or Robertson, and a screwdriver. The use of socket wrenches or nutdrivers are recommended over
straight wrenches due to the location of attaching hardware.

2.3 unpacking and Placement

A. Immediately upon receipt of the MTS 3500i, inspect for damage which may have occurred in transit. Notify the
carrier of any defects or damage at once.
B. After removing the components from the shipping container(s), check the container for any loose parts. Remove
all packing materials.
C. Check air passages of power source for any packing materials that may obstruct air flow through the power source.
D. If the equipment is not to be installed immediately, store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area.
E. The location of the power source should be carefully selected to ensure satisfactory and dependable service. Choose
a location relatively close to a properly fused source of electrical power.
F. The machine components are maintained at proper operating temperatures by forced air which is drawn through
the cabinet by the fan unit. For this reason, it is important that the machine be located in an open area where air
can circulate freely at front and rear openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance
between the rear of the power source and wall or other obstruction. The area around the unit should be relatively
free of dust, fumes, and excessive heat. It is also desirable to locate the unit so the cover can be removed easily for
cleaning and maintenance.
