MOUNTING LOCATION

The LN-742 wire feeders can be mounted directly on top of the power source providing that it is secure and level. The LN-742 can also be mounted to an undercarriage when portability is required. The LN-742 should be installed upright on a horizontal surface.

A K178-1 mounting platform is available for mounting the LN-742 to the top of Idealarc power sources. Refer to Section C, Accessories, for details.

INPUT CABLE CONNECTIONS

Refer to Section C, Accessories, for descriptions of the various input cable assemblies available for the LN-742 wire feeder.

WARNING

Turn input power off before connecting the LN-742 wire feeder.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For connecting an LN-742 to a specific Lincoln power source, follow steps 1 through 5, and refer to the connection diagram in Figure A.3. The welding cable used must be sized according to the current and the duty cycle of the application.

With input power disconnected at the source, install the input cable per connection diagram A.3, and complete the following instructions:

1.Connect the end of the control cable with the 14- pin cable plug to the mating receptacle on the power source.

2.Connect the electrode lead to the power source output terminal of the desired polarity.

3.Referring to Figure A.1, route the other end of the electrode cable through the large oval hole in the rear panel of the LN-742 case. Connect the electrode to the copper strap on the side of the gearbox using the stud and nut provided.
