ACCESSORIES

SWIVEL PLATFORM (K178-1)

For all LN-9 GMA wire reel stand combinations. For mounting wire feeder-wire reel stand assembly on top of suitable Lincoln Idealarc power sources. Recommended input cable assembly length is 10 feet (3m) when using the K178-1.

Bolt the platform to the lift bail according to instructions supplied with the platform (M16260).

UNDERCARRIAGE (K163)

For all LN-9 GMA wire reel stand combinations. Includes mounting frame, front casters, 10" (254 mm) O.D. rear wheels, and handle. Use when portability is required. Casters mount at the front and the wheels mount at the rear. Handle bolts to the front, which allows the LN-9 GMA to be tilted back and wheeled like a two-wheel truck.

CONTINUOUS FLUX FEED TANK (K320)

The K320 is available to permit the LN-9 GMA to be used for submerged arc welding using the K112 sub- merged arc gun and cable. Requires a supply of com- pressed air at 60 to 120 psi with a flow of 1.5 cubic feet per minute.

The kit is a complete continuous flux feeding system including air filter, pressure regulator, gage, tank and 18 foot flux hose. It also includes a funnel for filling the tank, plus the lift bail assembly required to mount the tank and wire feeder to a K163 undercarriage. The tank can also be used as a free standing assembly.

Install the tank according to instructions included with the K320 kit.

K320 FLUX TANK LOADING

Either turn off the incoming air line or remove the quick disconnect if one has been installed. Slightly loosen the tank cap and let the air in the tank escape through the holes in the side of the cap. After pressure has been released, remove the cap from the tank. Using the funnel provided, put 100 pounds of flux into the tank. It is very important that only new or properly reclaimed flux be put in the tank. Coarse particles and/or magnetic particles will stop the flux feeding process. New Lincoln flux is properly screened at the factory. All reclaimed flux must be separately screened through a vibrated screen having 0.065 - 0.075 open- ings and be put through a magnetic separator. The K310 vibrated Flux Screen and a K58 Magnetic Separator are available for this purpose. The screen in the funnel supplied with the tank has much larger openings, and its only purpose is to keep paper and slag out of the tank. Screw the tank cap back on and tighten it hand tight. Reconnect the incoming air line to the tank.

There will always be a small amount of air and possi- ble drops of water coming out of the end of the tube coiled under the tank. This is an automatic disposal system in case the plant air has water and dirt in it.

K310 FLUX SCREEN

This unit is designed to fit the top of either the standard fill funnel of a continuous flux feed system or a K58 magnetic separator. The unit has a steel screen with 0.065 to 0.075 openings and an air vibrator attached to the frame. The vibrator can be used with air line pres- sure ranging from 20 psi to 100 psi.

For ease of handling, you should connect the incoming air line to the 1/8" pipe elbow with the aid of a fast dis- connect type air coupling.

It is very important that reclaimed flux to be used in the continuous flux feeding system be passed through the K310 screen or its equivalent.
