Magnum 200 / 300 / 400 Guns
The easiest and least expensive way to use Magnum
200/300/400 guns with the Power Feed 10 Dual wire
feeder is to order them with the K466-10 connector kit,
or to buy a completely assembled Magnum gun hav-
ing the K466-10 connector (such as the K497-21 dedi-
cated Magnum 400).
Magnum 550 Guns
The easiest and least expensive way to use the
Magnum 550 guns with Power Feed 10 Dual wire
feeders is to order the gun with the K613-7 connector
kit, and install a K1500-3 gun connection kit to the
wire feeder.
Lincoln Innershield and Sub Arc Guns
All of these guns can be connected to the Power Feed
by using the K1500-1 Adapter Kit.
Lincoln Fume Extraction Guns
The K556 (250XA) and K566 (400XA) guns require
that a K489-2 Fast-Mate™ adapter kit be installed.
Installation of this adapter also requires a K1500-1
gun connector kit.
The K206, K289, and K309 require only the installa-
tion of a K1500-1 connector in the Power Feed wire
feeder.
Non-Lincoln Guns
Most competitive guns can be connected to the Power
Feed by using one of the K1500 series adapter kits,
See “Gun Adapters” in ACCESSORIES section.
GENERAL GUN CONNECTION
GUIDELINES
The instructions supplied with the gun and K1500
series gun adapter should be followed when installing
and configuring a gun. What follows are some gener-
al guidelines that are not intended to cover all guns.
a. Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are
proper for the electrode size and type being used.
If not, change them.
b. Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector
on the welding conductor cable into the brass
conductor block on the front of the wire drive
head. Make sure it is all the way in and tighten
the hand clamp. Keep this connection clean and
bright. Connect the trigger control cable polarized
plug into the mating 5 cavity receptacle on the
front of the wire drive unit.
Note: for Fast-Mate and European connector style
guns, connect gun to gun connector making
sure all pins and gas tube line up with appropri-
ate holes in connector. Tighten gun by turning
large nut on gun clockwise.
c. For GMA Gun Cables with separate gas fittings,
connect the 3/16” I.D. gas hose from the wire
drive unit to the gun cable barbed fitting.
d. For water cooled guns see WATER CONNEC-
TIONS in this section.
