DESCRIPTION
Additional space is available on the base for mounting
customer supplied accessories.
The SWINGPAK-12 and SWINGPAK-16 provide a di-
rect mounting facility for several welding power sources
(refer to welding power source Owner’s Manual for base
mounting hole layout), SWINGARC wire feeder or CB
boom, RADIATOR 1A or RADIATOR 2A coolant sys-
tem, MPG-395B resistance grid, AFT-100 flux tank, and
shielding gas cylinder. If equipment other than that listed
is to be used, mounting hole locations may have to be
modified to accommodate equipment. A SWINGPAK
locker and brackets for mounting a disconnect switch to
the SWINGARC post support are also supplied.

SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION OR RELOCATION
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
IMPROPER LIFTING OR INSTALLING OF
EQUIPMENT can cause personal injury and
equipment damage.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Disconnect equipment input power conduc-
tors from deenergized supply line BEFORE
moving unit.
• Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift
components.
• Use bolts and fasteners of adequate capacity
to assemble and install unit.
3-1.
LOCATION
IMPORTANT: Refer to Figures 2-1 and 4-1 during as-
sembly as necessary.
When installing this unit, be sure to allow room for the
boom to swing horizontally in the desired arc, and to piv-
ot upward to the desired angle. The location should al-
low room to remove panels of associated equipment for
installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair proce-
dures. Consider the input power requirements as well as
coolant (water) needs of optional equipment when
choosing a location.
Mounting hardware is packed in locker for shipping pur-
poses. Remove hardware kit from locker and proceed
as follows:
1. Install boom support base onto SWINGPAK base
using supplied 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 inch cap screws
(Item 23, Figure 4-1) and associated hardware
(see Figure 2-1 for mounting location).
The service life and efficiency of this unit and associated
equipment will be reduced if they are subjected to high
levels of dust, dirt, moisture, corrosive vapors, and ex-
treme heat.
2. Locate appropriate mounting holes on SWING-
PAK base for welding power source, and install
power source onto SWINGPAK base using
supplied 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 inch cap screws (Item 20,
Figure 4-1).
Mounting holes are provided in the SWINGPAK base for
installing equipment.
3. Install boom into boom support base following
procedure outlined in appropriate Owner’s Manu-
al.
3-2.
INSTALLATION (Figures 2-1 And 4-1)
4. If applicable, install AFT-100 flux tank onto
SWINGPAK base using supplied 5/16-18 x 1 inch
cap screws (Item 13, Figure 4-1) and associated
hardware.
WARNING: OVERTURNING BASE can result
in serious injury and equipment damage.
• Mount the welding power source on SWING-
PAK base before mounting SWINGARC wire
feeder into SWINGARC support base.
5. Install SWINGPAK locker onto SWINGPAK base
using supplied 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch self-threading
screws (item 16, Figure 4-1).
• Do not install or operate on an incline.
• Do not lift the SWINGPAK base with a fork lift
from the sides unless the lift forks extend far
enough under the base to ensure against tip-
ping.
6. If applicable, install coolant system mounting
brackets onto SWINGPAK locker using supplied
1/4-20 x 1inch cap screws (Item 7, Figure 4-1).

IMPORTANT: If cooling system has mounting holes in
base, do not install mounting brackets onto SWINGPAK
locker. Instead, install coolant system directly onto lock-
er using supplied hardware.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Be sure input power is disconnected and
welding power source is shut down before
making connections to disconnect switch.
7. If applicable, install grid onto SWINGPAK locker
using supplied 1/4-20 x 1 inch cap screws (Item 7,
Figure 4-1) and associated hardware.
11. Install disconnect switch onto boom support, and
secure using supplied disconnect switch mount-
ing clamps (Item 2, Figure 4-1) and 3/8-16 nuts
(Item 5) and associated hardware.
8. If applicable, install gas cylinder support bracket
onto SWINGPAK locker using supplied 5/16-18 x
3/4 inch self-threading screws (item 12, Figure
4-1).
9. Install cylinder support bracket to SWINGPAK
locker using supplied 1/4-20 x 1 inch cap screws
and associated hardware. Secure gas cylinder in
bracket using supplied cylinder chain.
12. Make electrical input connections from welding
power source to disconnect switch according to
welding power source Owner’s Manual.
10. If applicable, install disconnect switch mounting
brackets onto disconnect switch (customer must
supply mounting hardware).
13. To make electrical connections from line discon-
nect switch to source of input power, consult local
electric utility or certified electrician.
