7) Insert inner Wire Guide, groove side out, over the
two locating pins in the feed plate.
8) Install each drive roll by pushing over shaft until it
butts up against locating shoulder on the drive roll
shaft. (Do Not exceed maximum wire size rating of
the wire drive).
9) Install Outer Wire Guide by sliding over locating
pins and tightening in place.
10) Engage upper drive rolls if they are in the “open”

NOTE: To set drive roll pressure, see DRIVE ROLL
PRESSURE SETTING in the OPERATION section.
GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES
The Power Feed 11 wire feeder is equipped with a
Fast-Mate™ Gun Adapter that provides for the use of
guns with Fast-Mate™ or European style gun connec-
tions and will handle both standard Fast-Mate™and
Dual Schedule Fast-Mate™ guns.
The Fast-Mate™ Gun Adapter requires the use of
wire guide tubes. The Power Feed 11 is supplied with
4 wire guide tubes. See FAST-MATE™ GUN
ADAPTER GUIDE TUBES and DRIVE ROLL KIT
AND GUIDE TUBE INSTALLATION sections for prop-
er selection and installation of Fast-Mate™ Gun
Adapter wire guide tubes.
MAGNUM GUNS
Magnum Fast-Mate™ air cooled and water cooled
gun and cable assemblies are available to allow weld-
ing with solid and cored wire electrodes. See the
appropriate Magnum Literature for descriptions of the
200 to 400 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are
available, as well as the Magnum 450 ampere water
cooled gun and cable.
Magnum X-Tractor gun and cable assemblies provide
fume extraction capability for welding with solid and
cored wire electrodes. See the appropriate Magnum
Literature for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere
air cooled gun and cable assemblies that are avail-
able.
Note:Most Non-Lincoln Guns can be connected to the
Power Feed 11 provided the gun has a European
Style Gun Connector.
GUN CONNECTION GUIDELINES
General Guidelines
The instructions supplied with the gun should be fol-
lowed when installing and configuring a gun. What fol-
lows are some general guidelines that are not intend-
ed to cover all guns.
a. Check that the drive rolls, wire guide and gun
adapter wire guide tube are proper for the elec-
trode size and type being used. If not, change
them.
b. Connect gun to gun connector making sure all pins
and gas tube line up with appropriate holes in con-
nector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun
clockwise.
WATER COOLED GUIDELINES
The Power Feed 11 comes equipped with coolant inlet
and outlet connections on the front and back of the
feeder. The maximum water pressure permitted for
use with the PF-11 is 100 psi.
a. Using male quick connect fittings, connect appro-
priate water hoses to the coolant inlet and outlet on
the back of the feeder. Connect the other ends of
these hoses to the appropriate ports on your water
cooling unit.
b. Connect the gun hoses to the coolant inlet and out-
let on the front of the feeder. In the event the
water line fittings on your water cooled gun are
incompatible with the female quick connects on the
front of the Power Feed 11, male quick connects
are provided for installation on 3/16" (5mm) hose
(Customer to provide appropriate clamps). The
feeder connectors self seal when disconnected.
c. Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if
they are used even momentarily without water
flowing. To protect the gun, we recommended that
a K1536-1 Magnum Flow Sensor kit be installed.
This will prevent wire feeding if no water flow is
present. See ACCESSORIES Section for more
information regarding this kit
