I NSTALLATION

The WeldStation requires some minor assembly.

A standard unit will come with an exhaust cover pre-installed.

The unit and a booth are integrated into a single machine referred to as the 'main unit'.

A secondary booth can be attached to the main unit and creating a "Dual WeldStation". If no

secondary booth is used, then the main unit is referred to as a "Single WeldStation".

See the 'WeldStation Accessories User Manual' for accessory assembly instructions.

G ENERAL I NSTALLATION G UIDELINES

Clean Air America’s WeldStation units are shipped via freight and generally arrive on a flat bed trailer.

The main units are partially crated, on a pallet, and are shipped lying on their sides. The secondary

booths are partially crates and shipped upright. Use a fork lift truck, driven by a qualified individual, to

remove the crate / pallet from the truck. Occasionally, fork extensions are helpful.

Once the WeldStation unit is inside the facility, ready to be uncrated, please proceed

cautiously. Banding straps and plastic wrap must be removed.

WeldStation units are heavy and tend to

be top heavy. The motor and the majority

of the metal are located at the top of the

unit. Please see the "Unit Weight" section

for proper weights.

There are (4) steel plate eyelets vertical at

the top of unit. These are the lifting lugs.

There are (9) floor mounting holes on the

bottom flange of the unit

W ARNINGS AND L ABELS

HIGH VOLTAGE: The voltage of the WeldStation is

dangerous once connected to a power supply. Incorrect

installation may cause damage to the equipment, serious

injury, or death. Consequently, it is essential to comply with

instructions in this manual, local and national safety rules, and

follow all safety procedures including proper lock out and tag

out procedures.

Hazardous Voltage: The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

uses large capacitors which can hold a charge long after the

power disconnect has been used to disconnect power from the

unit. Do not service the panel until the VFD has fully

discharged.

GROUND CONNECTION: Proper grounding of the equipment

and electrical panel is essential. Do not attempt to operate the

equipment without electrically grounding the panel. The

connection to the earth ground must be proper and provide a

low impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous

voltages from appearing on equipment

M OVING THE W ELD S TATION M AIN U NIT

There are various ways to move the WeldStation main unit.

If the WeldStation unit has NOT been

uncrated or is still on the pallet, then it can

easily be moved by using a fork lift truck.

Place the forks under the pallet's main

beams and simply lift the unit. Keep in

mind, the motor end (top) of the unit is

heavier and forks may need to be shifted

toward the motor end.

If the WeldStation unit has been uncrated,

then it can easily be moved by using a fork

lift truck. Attach the lifting chains or cables

to the fork head ache bar. Attach the other

end of the lifting chains or cables to the

lifting lugs. The top of the unit can then be

lifted using the fork lift truck. Place a

wooden '2 x 4 underneath the raised end

of the unit. This wood piece will create a

gap allowing the forks to be slid under the

unit. Make sure not to scratch or damage

the unit.

If the WeldStation unit is uncrated and

upright, then the unit can still be moved

with a fork lift truck. Place the forks under

the unit portion of the main WeldStation

unit. Card board or rubber padding can be

placed on the forks to prevent scratching

of the unit. Make sure the forks are on

both side of the light(s) / cables to prevent

damaging the lights. Do NOT place the

forks under the lights. Do NOT let the

forks enter the intake at the back of the

booth area. The WeldStation unit is top heavy and must be prevented from falling backwards

during movement. It is recommended

that the top of the unit is bound to the

mast of the fork lift truck during

movement. This can be done by

wrapping a strap around the unit and

mast. Another method is to attach a

chain or cable between the mast and

the lifting lugs.

NOTE:

Please be sure the chain

hoist, come along, or

chain/cable, is rated for

that amount of weight to

be lifted.

Properly sized chain or cable can be

attached to header bar on a fork lift

truck. The chain or cable can then be

connected to the lifting lugs of the

unit. The forklift truck can then be

used to lift and move the unit.

Other methods include attaching a

chain hoist or come along, or both to

the eyelets provided at the top of the

unit.

When the unit is being lifted, the

bottom of the unit may shift. If

possible, brace the bottom of the

unit to prevent slipping.

A '2 x 4' brace is fastened to the front

floor flanges of the booth. This is used

during shipment to prevent the

collapse of the booth side walls. This

'2 x 4' should be kept in place while

bringing the unit upright to prevent

damage.

SLOWLY hoist the unit up, supporting

it whenever and wherever possible.

DO NOT let the unit slam suddenly

when bringing the unit into the upright

position. This can cause damage to the unit.

A TTACHING THE S ECONDARY B OOTH

The WeldStation main unit can have a

secondary welding booth attached for added

welding stations. This booth can be attached

to either side or onto the back of the booth.

This achieved by connection through the

rectangular opening with bolt patterns on the

sides and back of the unit intake plenum.

The secondary booth will have matching

openings with bolt patterns in the intake

plenum.

NOTE:

Before connecting the

main unit and

secondary booth, the

Flat Gasket must be

installed around the

connection opening.

Remove the table slides from the

adjoining booth walls. The same bolt

is used for mounting both table

I NSTALLING THE I NTAKE S PARK B AFFLES

All of the intake spark baffles must be installed

before using the WeldStation. These baffles are

the first defense in stopping sparks from passing

into the WeldStation. Smaller width secondary

booths will only have one spark baffle of each

type. The metal mesh spark baffles must be installed behind the Reverse Flow TM spark baffles.

1. First, carefully slide the top of the metal

mesh spark baffle upward into the top

channel of the intake at a slight angle

(approximately 10 degrees).

2. Then push the bottom of the metal mesh

spark baffle inward so that the baffle is

vertical and aligned with the bottom

channel of the intake.

3. Next slide the metal mesh spark baffle

down into the bottom channel of the

intake.

4. Slide the metal mesh filter all the way to

the right hand side of the intake. Make

sure it is seated in the bottom of the

channel and shifted so that it is flush with

the side of the intake.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other

metal mesh spark baffle; however slide

the second baffle all the way to the left.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the (2) Reverse Flow TM spark baffles; placing first

on the right and the second on the left.

NOTE:

Make sure when installing the

intake baffles that they are

installed in the correct

direction. On both the metal mesh and Reverse Flow TM

spark baffles, there are

markings to show the proper

air flow direction. The arrows

must point into the intake. Additionally, the Reverse Flow TM spark baffles must be installed so that

the baffles are horizontal.

R EMOVING THE T ABLE S LIDES

Before the unit and secondary booth can be attached

together, the table slides of the adjoining walls must be

removed. The same bolt is used to hold the table slides of

Loosen and remove the (4) bolts holding the table

slide onto the side wall of the booth or unit. Retain

these bolts.

Hold onto the table slide to support it while

loosening the bolts and prevent damage due to

falling.

I NSTALLING THE T ABLE S LIDES AND T ABLES

Once the unit and secondary booth are attached together,

the table slides and welding tables can be installed into

both the secondary booth and the main unit.

Place the table slide on the wall of the unit so that

the slide channels are horizontal and the channels

open to the inside of the booth.

Align the bolt hole pattern on the table slide to the

bolt hole pattern on the side wall of the booth.

Fasten the table slide to the wall of the booth

using (4) 1/4" - 20 x 1.0" black socket head cap

screws, (8) black 1/4" flat washers, (4) black 1/4"

lock washers, and (4) black 1/4"-20 nuts. The

screw heads should be on the outside of the

booth.

When a secondary booth is being attached on the

side of a main unit, (2) table slides are being

attached to a common booth wall. In this situation,

each of the (4) bolts must be used to attach both

table slides. If the table slide is being installed on

the common wall between a main unit and

secondary booth, the bolt head can be on either

side.

Once all the table slides have been attached to the

booth walls, insert the table into the channel at the

desired height.

The table simply slides into the channels of the

table slides on both sides of the booth. Make sure

the table is being inserted into the same height on

both sides of the booth so that the table is not

tilted.

Once the table has been installed, it can

be moved by simply pulling the table out

and sliding it into another height channel.

The table can also be left partially

extended from the booth to allow welding

of larger objects outside the booth. When

doing so, make sure the welding does not

exceed range of the airflow for the booth.

For each main unit, there are two lever handles. These

handles must be installed in the filter compartment door

for increased ease of maintenance.

Remove the bolts holding the filter door shut. The

door was bolted shut during shipping to prevent

damage to the lever handles. Make sure to keep

the 3/8" flat washers; however, the 3/8" retaining

bolts can be discarded.

The filter door may swing open allowing access to

the filter compartment.

Swing the filter door closed.

Place a 3/8" zinc flat washer on each of the lever

handles.

Place the threaded stud of the lever handles

through the holes in the filter door arms.

Screw the lock nut onto the back of the lever

handle. This will keep the lever handle attached to

the door during maintenance and prevent the loss

of hardware.

Screw the lever handle into the weld nut and

tighten the door down.

C OMPRESSED A IR C ONNECTION

In order for the automatic pulse filter cleaning system to operate, the Clean Air Industries WeldStation requires a compressed air connection to be made.

The compressed air inlet is located on the top of the WeldStation in front of the exhaust

panel.

This WeldStation compressed air inlet supply is a 1” NPT male fitting.

Use a regulator to adjust the pressure to 70 to 90 PSI.

A dryer may be needed to condition the air before entering the WeldStation.

1.0 ft 3 Valve Pulse at 70 - 90 psi

5/8" Minimum compressed air supply line required; 1" Recommended

NOTE:

Do not operate the WeldStation for an extended period of time without an

appropriate compressed air supply. Doing so will greatly diminish the life

of the filter cartridges.

A IR R EGULATOR

The compressed air for the WeldStation must be regulated at 70 to 90 PSI. A Regulator is used to

allow the high-pressure air supply lines or tanks to be reduced to safe and usable pressure for pulsing

the unit. If the pressure is too low, the valves may not properly clean the filters. If the pressure is too

high, it may damage the valves.

A IR F ILTER

The compressed air for the WeldStation must be clean. Dirty air entering the system can cause

damage to pneumatic components. The air should be filtered to remove all contaminants by the

compressed air supply system prior to entering the WeldStation.
