Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions

NOTICE. This unit manual is intended for users with basic knowledge and skillset in weld-

ing. It is your responsibility to make certain that the use of this welder is restricted to per-

sons who have read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual. If

you or the operator needs further instruction, contact NOVA at 1-877 755-9353.

WARNING! High Frequency (HF) energy can interfere with the operation of pacemakers and

can damage pacemakers. Consult with your physician and pacemaker manufacturer before

entering an area where welding and cutting equipment is in operation and before using this

welder. Some pacemakers have limited shielding. Alert any users or customers of this po-

tential problem.

WARNING! Use approved safety glasses with wrap around shields and sides while welding

and working in the weld area or serious eye damage or loss of vision may result. Use a

grinding shield in addition to the safety glasses during chipping and grinding operations.

WARNING! When welding always use an approved welding helmet or shielding device

equipped with at least an equivalent of a shade 9 or greater. Increase the shade number

rating as amperage increase over 100 amps. Inspect helmet for cracks in lenses and in the

helmet. Keep lens covers in good condition and replace as necessary.

WARNING! Welding/cutting operations carry inherent risks which include but not limited to

possible cuts burns, electrical shocks, lung damage, eye damage and even death. Take all

appropriate measures to use proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Always use

leather welding gloves, closed toe (preferably reinforced or steel toe leather shoes, and long

-sleeved flame resistant clothing (i.e. denim). Do not wear Poly/Nylon blend materials.

DANGER! Welding/cutting poses shock and electrocution risks. Keep this welding equip-

ment dry. Do not weld in the rain or where moisture accumulates. Use dry, rubber soled

shoes, gloves and clothing when welding. Do not rest or contact work clamp (ground) when

welding. Keep all parts of the body insulated from the part being welded when possible. Do

not touch terminals or connections while the unit is on. Consider all parts to be “live” at all

times even if no live work is being performed. Do not use frayed welding cables.

CAUTION! Fires are possible but also preventable while welding. Always remove flammable

rags, papers, and other materials from the weld area. Keep rags stored in an approved flame

proof canister. Keep a fully charged re extinguisher at hand. Remove any fuels, oils,

paint, pressurized spray cans, and chemicals from the weld area. Make sure any smoke/re

detectors are function properly. Do not weld on tanks, drums or barrels, especially if pres-

surized or sealed. Do not weld on any container that previously held fuel or chemicals.

Make sure the weld area is clear of flammable materials such as grass or wood shavings

solvents and fuels. Do not wear frayed or loose clothing. Visually inspect and recheck the

work area after welding looking for smoldering debris or flames.

WARNING! Welding gas cylinders are under high pressure. Keep all gas cylinders upright

and double chained to the welding cart or held safely in a safety holding pen. Never

transport gas cylinders in an enclosed car van or other vehicle. Transport gas cylinders se-

curely. Keep all cylinders capped while not in use or during transport. Replace the cap on

the cylinder when it is going to be more than 24 hours before use. Do not use or attempt

to repair faulty regulators. Never weld on gas cylinders. Keep gas cylinders away from di-

rect sparks.

Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions

DANGER! Welding and cutting operations pose serious inhalation hazards. Some of these

hazards are immediate while others are cumulative in their effect. Do not weld in enclosed

spaces or in areas without adequate ventilation. Fumes and gases released in the welding

and cutting operations can be toxic. Use fans or respiration equipment to insure adequate

ventilation if you are welding in a shop or garage area. Do not weld on galvanized metal

under any circumstance. You may develop metal fume fever. Symptoms are similar to lu-

like symptoms. Seek medical advice and treatment if you are exposed to galvanized weld-

ing fumes.

If you experience any eye burning, nose or throat irritation while welding, these are signs

that you need more ventilation.

If you feel these symptoms:

• Stop work immediately and relocate work area with better ventilation.

• Wash and clean your face and hands.

• Stop work completely and seek medical help if irritation persists

DANGER! Never use brake cleaner or any chlorinated solvent to clean or degrease metal

scheduled to be welded or other related equipment in the area being welded. The heating

of this cleaner and its residue will create highly toxic phosgene gas. Small amounts of

this vapor are harmful and can lead to organ failure and death. If degreasing of a part is

necessary, use Acetone or an approved pre-weld cleaner. Use the proper personal protec-

tive equipment (PPE) when handling any cleaners/solvents.

DANGER! People with pacemakers should consult a physician and pacemaker manufactur-

er before welding. There is a potential for damage or serious malfunction resulting in

death. High Frequency energy (HF)/Electromagnetic Fields generated during welding can

interfere with pacemaker signals, even permanently damaging it. Some pacemakers offer

some shielding, but restrictions regarding amperage and HF starting of TIG arcs may be

placed upon the individual. Warn all potential bystanders that they should exit the work

area if they have a pacemaker or similar medical equipment before welding. Severe electri-

cal shock leading to injury or death may occur while using the plasma cutter if the user

becomes part of the circuit path. While the Amp output of the plasma cutter is limited, the

unit may produce an OCV of 300V or greater. Consult with a Physician if a pacemaker is

expected to be implanted.

DANGER! Never defeat or modify any safety guards or shields. Keep all safety covers and

shields in place.

Never place your ngers in or near a fan shroud or insert any object into the fan(s).

Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions

CAUTION! Trip Hazards exist around welders. Cords, cables, welding leads and hoses pose

a trip hazard. Be aware of their location and inform others of their location. Tape and se-

cure them so they will stay out of high trafc areas.

CAUTION! Welded metal can stay hot long after welding is completed. Burns may occur.

Always wear gloves or use tongs/pliers when handling welded or cut metal. Remember

the heat from the metal may catch other material on re. Always have a re-proof area

ready to place welded components until they fully cool. Use soap stone or a metal marking

marker to label the metal as “HOT” to serve as a reminder to all present in the area.

CAUTION! Welding and cutting operations generate high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation

which can burn and damage skin and eyes. The intensity is so high that exposed skin and

eyes can burn in a few minutes of exposure. Minimize direct skin and eye exposure to this

intense form of radiation by using proper PPE and sun screen where appropriate.

CAUTION! Do not allow bystanders. Do not allow others without proper Personal Protec-

tion Equipment (PPE) suitable for welding to stand in the welding area or to observe weld-

ing and welding related activities. If protection is not readily available, use a welding

screen to separate the welding area from the rest of the area. If no protection or screen is

available, physically exclude them from the welding area by a wall or other solid divider.

Keep all pets and young children away from the welding area.

DANGER! When storing the pedal, make sure the switch on the pedal is turned to off or

disconnected before inserting into the pedal/accessory shelf.

Setup Guide

Getting Started

UNPACK YOUR UNIT.

Upon arrival, you will need to completely unpack your cart from the

box as soon as possible. It is important to identify any potential is-

sues or missing items with your cart. If any issue is noted, you

should contact NOVA and resolve it immediately.

Your packaged components should be laid out in a logical order.

Start by sorting bolts and washers by size, and then arranging the

other parts in order of need. Thoroughly inspect the parts and com-

ponents for damage. Check for the presence and general condition of

the parts. Some slight rubbing or chafng of some parts may be

present, but this is considered normal. Any blemishes like this can be

touched up with about any quality satin black spray enamel. If any

item is bent, missing, or otherwise damaged, please inform NOVA

within 72 hours of product receipt. NOTICE: Shipping damage claims

after 30 days may not be accepted unless extenuating circumstances

exist such as overseas deployment, etc. For the purpose of expedien-

cy, though, any missing fastener can be bought locally. See the parts/

expanded view page for sizes and quantities.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND ASSEMBLY.

This cart is designed to hold a wide variety of welders, and is

equipped with locking front casters to hold it in place so that it will

not roll when movement needs to be restricted. It is designed to

hold most welders, welder-cooler combinations and some plasma

cutters that reach the minimum size. Adjustable sliding stops and rear

capture tabs are used on this unit to provide a friction t for the weld-

er or welder/cooler combination. The adjustable stops allow a weld-

er/cooler length of 18.9” to 25” (480mm to 635mm). The width of the

cart allows a maximum width of 12” (307mm). The maximum height

of the combination of welder and cooler (measured when not in-

stalled on cart) should not exceed 34.1” (865mm), not including any

installed handle height. Maximum weight of cooler, cart, gas cylinder,

and accessories should not exceed 325 lbs. ( 147.4 kg).

During Assembly, be sure to assemble all parts nger tight only. Do

not begin to tighten any bolts until the cart is fully assembled. If you

tighten before the cart is assembled, some parts may not t properly

due to misalignment. Tighten everything lightly once, then retighten

fully.

This cart uses a captured nut (Rivet Nut) design. Be sure not to strip

these from over-tightening or cross threading. Do not tighten M6

bolts to more than 4.0 Newton-meters (35.4 inch-pounds) on nal

tightening.

NOVA 375-LF Welding Cart

IMPORTANT:

To obtain the longest service life out of this welding cart, periodic

maintenance will be required. Inspect all fasteners after 1 week of

use. Thereafter, it is recommended that you check for general tight-

ness and soundness of fasteners every 90 days of use. Additionally,

it is recommended that where appropriate, the wheels be lightly oiled

with machine oil periodically to maintain a smooth rolling mechanism.

Do not operate in mud or dirt. If the shop floor is dirty or full of metal

shavings and debris, periodically you should also inspect the wheels

for cuts and damage.

Discontinue use if any safety or structural part, particularly undercar-

riage parts becomes damaged or worn.

Move cart smoothly and slowly. Sudden jerking and sudden direction

change can cause cart failure due to excessive loading of components

due to dynamic changes when cart is near maximum capacity.
