CONNECTION TO FEEDER WITH READY TO WELD GUN

Connecting a K126-10 or K126-11 to a Lincoln Feeder (5/64” or smaller diameter wire)

The K126-10 or K126-11will connect to any wire feeder with a Lincoln style gun receiver bushing (i.e. LN-8, LN-9, LN-25 or any feeder with a K1500-1 bushing installed). (See Figure A.1)

1.Check that the drive roll(s) and feeder guide tubes are appropriate for the electrode size being used.

2.Fully push the brass connector end of the gun cable into the conductor block on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the hand screw or set screw in the con- ductor block.

3.Insert the round connector of the control cable into the mating connector on the front of the wire feeder.
