###### MIG Maintenance Notes ######
This is very much a work in progress.
Tools needed:
- One (1) 1/8“ wrench (open-end) (Available in the maint cart)
- Two (2) 1/2” wrenches for work on the MIG gun
##### Tank Management #####
Always have two people to change out tanks; it's useful to have extra muscle, or a spotter.
Tanks (both full and empty) are stored against the cages behind the metal lathe.
Tanks in storage must be secured with a chain or ratchet strap.
Tanks in storage:
- 100% argon
- MIG Mix (25% CO2, 75% Ar)
Bottles are labeled with their contents. Make sure you are getting the correct bottle.
Do not move cylinders without a cap on the bottle, securing the valve.
