Going on the bottle

It's time to pull the flux-core wire out of my Lincoln SP-135. I'm rounding up a 40cf bottle of Ar/CO2, a flow meter and a solenoid. What else will I need to convert to gas?

Re: Going on the bottle

Check your manual I believe you need to change the polarity [switching the wires inside the welder]

Re: Going on the bottle

If you don't have a manual, I think it might be written inside with the chart.

Re: Going on the bottle

Thanks for calling out the polarity change. I have that and some part numbers for tips inside the cabinet. I'll also check with the local welding shop. Thanks guys.
