9.Remove the ingoing guide tube from the rear brass block of the wire feeder and plug the connector of the electrode cable extension into the brass block. Tighten the locking screw with a 3/16 in. Allen wrench. The guide tube is not used when the extension assembly is installed.

10.If using over 450 amperes, connect a length of 1/0 cable between the brass block on the wire reel base and the tab on the rear brass block of the wire feeder. Tape this cable to the extension assembly. Proper cable lengths are:

•For a 22-1/2 ft (6.9 m) extension use 23-1/2 ft (7.2 m) - order M5906-106

•For 45 ft (13.7 m) extension use 46 ft (14 m) - order M5906-104

11.To mount the wire feeder handle provided with the extension unit, remove the two self-tapping screws that hold the hinge pin in the top of the wire feeder. Push the hinge pin out, leaving the covers intact. Place the handles into the slots provided and push the hinge pin back into the assembly making sure that the pin goes through the holes in the handle. Put the two self-tapping screws back into their respective positions. Refer to Figure A.14.

12.If the extension is being used with a K306 Wire Reel Flux Tank assembly, the hose attached to the bottom of the flux tank may have to be shortened. This hose is 64 ft (19.5 m) long, and is the correct length for use with the 45 ft (13.7 m) extension. If a 22-1/2 ft (6.9 m) extension is to be used, cut 22-1/2 ft (6.9 m) off the flux hose to give the correct length of 41-1/2 ft (12.6 m). (The

conductor cable is 22-1/2 ft (6.9 m) long, tip to tip, and can be used to measure the length of hose cut off.) If the flux hose is taped to the extension cables or gun cable, it should be done in such a manner as not to deform or collapse the hose.
