MAGNUM 250LX PUSH-PULL GUN AND PUSH PULL ADAPTER

For heavier duty aluminum applications when use of large 16 pound aluminum spools of wire are desired the follow- ing push pull gun and adapter kit are available.

Magnum 250LX Push Pull Gun (K2704-1)

This pistol grip push pull gun is similar to the Magnum 250LX spool gun except it is designed to feed large spools of wire. The Magnum 250LX push pull features a 25 foot power, gas and control cable. It operates as an assist slave motor pulling the aluminum wire as the Power MIG® drive motor acts as the master push motor.

Magnum 250LX Push Pull Adapter (K2705-1)

This adapter box is designed to drive the Magnum 250LX push pull gun when used on a non push ready Lincoln power source feeder such as the Power MIG® 215XT or 255XT. This box features a 115V cord and plug to power the box, a control cable with receptacle to connect the push pull gun’s control cable to, and a 4-pin connector to connect to the Power MIG® gun trigger receptacle.

Note the Magnum 250LX push pull gun has a wire feed speed adjustment potentiometer. However this poten- tiometer only functions on push-pull ready machines like the Power MIG® 350MP. When the Magnum 250LX is used on a non-push-pull machine with the K2705-1 adapter, the wire feed speed is set on the control panel of the machine.

CONNECTING THE MAGNUM 250LX PUSH-PULL GUN (K2704-1) AND MAGNUM 250LX PUSH-PULL GUN ADAPTER (K2705-1)

See Figure C.1

1.Plug the 115 VAC cable into available 115V AC recep- tacle. The Power MIG® 215XT (K2701-1) furnishes the 15A 115V AC auxiliary supply. The receptacle is located at the back of the machine.

2.Connect the 4-pin connector cable of the Push-Pull Gun Adapter to the 4-pin trigger receptacle located in the front section of the wire drive compartment.

3.Connect the 7-pin connector cable of the Push-Pull Gun to the 7-pin receptacle cable from the adapter.

4.Connect the Push-Pull gas & power pin into the Power MIG® wire feeder brass bushing.

5.Attach a gas hose from the Gas supply to the rear inlet gas fitting on the Power MIG® 215XT
