Clarke Power Products USA (Clarke welders) is in Chapter 11 Just tried calling them for a replacement manual. They have a recording on "That during these trying times they no longer will be selling or servicing, or selling parts to their tools at this time. As they go through chapter 11.
Just thought a heads up.

Bankruptcy version 11 they have a number of different ones, depending on what type of entity it is. A person, company etc.  I don't know if it effects the Clarke products international that's what is on the manuals for the stuff sold by machine mart.

Was just up at the local welding supply, they were told that it affects both the international and US?Canada. As the parent company is the one going to bankruptcy but at the end of the message they did say they hope to be back.
