4-2. Overload Protection: Trouble Lights & Checking Shield Cup Shutdown System If certain problems occur, the Ready light goes off, a trouble light comes on, and output stops. Pressure Light Lights if gas/air pressure is below 40 PSI (276 kPa). Turn power Off, and check for prop- er gas/air pressure (see Section 3-1).
4-3. Torch And Work Cable Connections If torch or work cable needs to be removed or replaced, proceed as follows: Turn power Off, and disconnect in- put power plug from receptacle. Re- move top and screws holding front panel in place. Without disconnect- ing any plugs, move front panel to allow access.
