6)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).

7)Install Outer Wire Guide by sliding over locating pins and tightening in place.

8)Engage upper drive rolls if they are in the “open” position and close Pressure Door.

TO SET IDLE ROLL PRESSURE, see “Idle Roll Pressure Setting” in OPERATION.

GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES WITH STANDARD CONNECTION

The 10 Series Wire Drive Heads each require a K1500 Gun Adapter installed See “Gun Adapters” in ACCESSORIES section. The K1500-2 Gun Adapter and Trigger Cable for Magnum 200-400 guns are fac- tory included with the LN-10.

GMAW Guns

An expanding line of Magnum gun and cable assem- blies are available to allow welding with solid and cored electrodes using the GMAW process See the appropriate Magnum literature for descriptions of the 200 to 550 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 25 ft. (7.6 m) and feed electrode sizes .025" (0.6

mm)to 3/32" (2.4 mm). The entire line of Magnum Fast-Mate gun and cable assemblies can also be used by installing a K489-2 Fast-Mate adapter kit. See “Gun and Cable Assemblies with Fast-Mate Connection” in this section for details.

Innershield Guns

K126 and K115 gun and cable assemblies are avail- able to allow welding with Innershield electrodes. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 15 ft. (4.5 m) The 350 ampere K126 will feed electrode sizes .062 (1.6 mm) to 3/32" (2.4 mm). The 450 ampere K115 will feed 5/64" (2.0 mm) to 3/32" (2.4 mm) electrode.

Three smoke extraction gun and cable assemblies are available, 250 ampere K309, 350 ampere K206 and the 500 ampere K289. All gun cable lengths are 15 ft. (4.5 m). These guns will feed electrode sizes .062" (1.6 mm) to 3/32" (2.4 mm) and require the use of the K184 vacuum unit for use with the LN-10.

Gun Cable Connection with Standard Connection

1.Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are proper for the electrode size and type being used. If necessary, change them per “Wire Drive Roll Kits” in this section.

2.Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the welding conductor cable into the brass conduc- tor 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.

3.For GMA Gun Cables with separate gas fitting (10 Series Wire Drive using K1500-1 Gun Adapter), connect the 3/16" I.D. gas hose from the wire drive unit to the gun cable barbed fitting.

GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES WITH FAST-MATE CONNECTION

(Requires K489-2 Fast Mate™ Adapter Kit used with the K1500-1 Gun Adapter)

GMAW Guns

An expanding line of Magnum Fast-Mate™ air cooled and water cooled gun and cable assemblies are avail- able to allow welding with solid and cored electrodes using the GMAW process. 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 “Super Cool” 450 ampere water cooled gun and cable. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 25 ft. (7.6 m) and feed electrode sizes .025" (0.6 mm) to 5/64" (20 mm).

An expanding line of Magnum X-Tractor gun and cable assemblies provides fume extraction capability for welding with solid and cored electrodes using the GMAW process. See the appropriate Magnum litera- ture for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 15 ft. (4.5 m) and feed electrode sizes .035" (0.9 mm) to 1/16" (1.6 mm). These guns require the use of either the K173-1 or K184* vacuum units.

*Requires S14927-8 connector hose and an S20591 hose adapter.
