Hobart Ultraweld 130- What is it?

[MAC702]

...There is a switch inside, labeled "115" on one side and "320" on the other. It is set to 115....

Presumably, you typo'd that and meant the other side of the switch is labeled 230?

With most machines like this, you change the switch setting and then plug it in to the correct voltage, preferably by changing the plug, or using an adapter cord.

It is labeled 320 and 115. Weird I know.

Okay, that's weird.

I know, right? I'm wondering if it was a typo when it was manufactured. Either way I don't have much to lose by wiring it to a 240v plug and plugging it in. When it quits raining I'll run a cord outside and give it a go.

Well, Hobart got back to me with an owners manual with a parts breakdown and an electrical schematic. The power indicator does not turn green when powered up. The switch labeled 320 is supposed to be 230, have to switch it and swap a couple of jumpers. So I'll have a go with it on 230v this weekend and see what happens.
