machine’s case back and discard. Remove
residual adhesive from case back with an alco-
hol wipe.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK Can Kill
• Only qualified persons should perform this installa-
tion.
3. Slide electrical sleeving over the non-P4 connector
in the Power Wave’s harness that runs from its ter-
minal strip.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN SKIN
• Always be sure coolant is not hot before doing any
work on cooler parts.
• Fold sleeving over itself and firmly secure it to
the harness with a cable tie.
ROTATING FAN BLADES ARE HAZARDOUS
• Do not put your hands near an operating fan.
4. Install cooler G3503-[ ]:
a. Install plugs into case back to fill coolant hose
holes. Bend tabs as required to secure plugs in
place.
b. Install new circuit breaker into case back if
replacing the old part.
c. Install new P4 electrical harness into Power
Wave:
• Mate together the labeled P4 connectors.
• Note: H[X]A lead in new harness carries 230
VAC cooler power: (See Table for [X] valve).
• Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position
and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from
fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repair-
ing equipment.
• In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to
perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when neces-
sary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their
removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working
near moving parts.

G3503-[ ] COOLER PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
G3503-[ ] COOLER SERVICE
1. Preparation:
1. Preparation:
• Always switch off the Power Wave machine power.
• Always disconnect the Power Wave machine from
service input power.
• Always switch off the Power Wave machine power.
• Always disconnect the Power Wave machine from
service input power.
• Do not remove the pump relief valve’s 3/4 in. acorn
hex nut or attempt to adjust the relief valve setting.
• Do not remove the pump relief valve’s 3/4 in. acorn
hex nut or attempt to adjust the relief valve setting.
2. Remove the G3503-[ ] cooler from the Power Wave
machine.
2. Remove the G3503-[ ] cooler from the Power Wave
machine whenever:
• replacing major cooler components (i.e. pump,
motor, heat exchanger, etc.).
• replacing hoses and electrical harnesses that are
kinked or damaged (cut, abraded, deteriorated or
swollen, etc.).
3. Clean, or replace the pump’s inlet strainer: Clogged or
partially blocked strainer is the most common cause for
unacceptal coolant flow.
• Drain the reservoir of coolant and dispose of it in an
environmentally responsible manner (see
Recommended Coolants).
• investigating suspect coolant leakage.
• Place absorbent towels underneath pump head.
• Hold pump head to apply countertorque when loos-
ening strainer’s 7/8 acorn nut. Do not confuse with
3/4 acorn nut. Remove nut and slide inlet strainer
down and out from pump head.
3. Pump replacement:
a. Drain the reservoir of coolant and dispose of it in an
environmentally responsible manner (see
Recommended Coolants).
b. Remove fan shroud.
• Replace or gently rinse strainer under running water
to thouroughly clean it.
• Use the mirror to inspect inside of pump for contam-
ination. Carefully remove hardened debris with den-
tal pick if necessary, without scratching inside of the
pump.
c. Place absorbent towels underneath pump head and
wherever coolant system is opened.
d. Carefully pull pump inlet hose and its elbow from
reservoir (bottom).
e. Loosen pump outlet hose clamp at QD then carefully
remove from fitting.
• Reinstall strainer and acorn nut, tightening with
75±15 in.-lbs. of torque. Wipe dry all areas wetted
by coolant. Dispose of towels in an environmentally
responsible manner (see Recommended Coolants).
f. Disconnect v-band clamp from motor and remove
pump:
• Do not drop or lose drive coupling between pump
and motor.
• Do not discard old pump. Remove both fittings,
Keep v-clamp, Seal old pump in a waterproof bag,
Package into protective container, and Return to
nearest Lincoln Electric FSS center.
g. Install new pump and v-band clamp:
• Do not apply any lubricant to pump’s drive coupling.
• Pump body is properly oriented with its strainer at
the 6:00 position.
4. Remove fan shroud and inspect hoses and electrical har-
nesses for kinking or damage (cut, abrasion, swelling,
etc.). Replace if necessary.
5. Remove accumulated dust from cooler, especially from
the motor and heat exchanger, by blowing it off with shop
air or vacuuming it out.
• The heat exchanger fins are sharp but can be easily
bent. Treat them with care to avoid personal injury
and damaging them.
• Remove the cooler from the machine for a more
thorough cleaning job.
• Tighten v-clamp with 15 to 30 in-lbs. of torque.
h. Attach coolant lines to QD and reservoir.
i. Wipe dry all areas wetted by coolant. Dispose of tow-
els in an environmentally responsible manner (see
Recommended Coolants).
j. Reinstall cooler into machine.
6. Motor lubrication is recommended once a year:
• Remove plug over lube port at top of motor near fan
end.
4. Motor removal or replacement:
• Do not reuse the 4 internal-tooth star washers.
Replace with new parts..
• Add 20 drops of electric motor or SAE 10 oil then
reinstall plug.
5. Installing the fan:
7. Flush coolant from the system and replace with fresh,
recommended coolant at least once a year. More fre-
quent flushing may be necessary, depending upon a
user’s particular system or its usage.
• Slide onto motor shaft until the fan is located
between 0.25 to 0.50 inches from the heat exchang-
er.
• Tighten set screw with 65 to 75 in-lbs of torque
against motor shaft’s flat.
NOTE: Never run the pump dry. Always use a recommend-

fan-end of motor’s shaft.
ed coolant, otherwise pump damage may result.
• Fan pulls air through the heat exchanger, blows it
over the motor, then exhausts it through the reser-
voir.
8. Reinstall the G3503-[ ] cooler into the Power Wave
machine.
