Step-by-Step Guide to Hooking Up Electrical and Gas for Machine Setup

Step 1: Electrical Connection

• Ensure your machine has a dual voltage capability (110V to 220V).
• Identify the electrical cord hookup at the back of the machine.
• Plug in the cord. The machine automatically switches between voltages.

Step 2: Gas Connection Precautions

• For gas hookup, regulate the air properly.
• Maintain gas pressure between 60 and 100 psi max, ideally around 80 psi max.
• Incorrect pressure can lead to malfunctions or damage.

Step 3: Accessing the Back of the Machine

• Turn the machine to view the rear side for gas and electrical connections.

Step 4: Gas Hose and Identification

• Locate the 20-foot hose at the back of the machine.
• Note: A white light indicates an international machine; a greenhouse symbol is for domestic (US).

Step 5: Hose Placement

• If needed, position the machine based on the distance to the hookup spot.
• Ensure a secure and reachable location for easy connection.

Step 6: Connecting Gas Hose

• Prepare two wrenches: 11/16 inch and 5/8 inch.
• Carefully connect the hose to the gas inlet on the machine.
• Tighten both ends with wrenches to prevent leaks.

Step 7: Check for Leaks

• Once connected, turn on the gas.
• Listen for any hissing sounds, indicating gas leaks.
• If leaks are detected, halt and fix the issue before proceeding.

Step 8: Finalizing Setup

• Ensure both electrical and gas connections are secure.
• Verify there are no gas leaks.
• Lock the machine's wheels to secure its position.

Remember, safety is crucial during this process. Double-check your connections and gas pressure to avoid any potential issues.
