7)Insert inner Wire Guide, groove side out, over the two locating pins in the feed plate.

8)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).

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

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

NOTE: To set drive roll pressure, see DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE SETTING in the OPERATION section.

GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES

The Power Feed 11 wire feeder is equipped with a Fast-Mate™Gun Adapter that provides for the use of guns with Fast-Mate™or European style gun connec- tions and will handle both standard Fast-Mate™and Dual Schedule Fast-Mate™guns.

The Fast-Mate™Gun Adapter requires the use of wire guide tubes. The Power Feed 11 is supplied with

4wire guide tubes. See FAST-MATE™GUN ADAPTER GUIDE TUBES and DRIVE ROLL KIT AND GUIDE TUBE INSTALLATION sections for prop- er selection and installation of Fast-Mate™Gun Adapter wire guide tubes.

MAGNUM GUNS

Magnum Fast-Mate™air cooled and water cooled gun and cable assemblies are available to allow weld- ing with solid and cored wire electrodes. 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 450 ampere water cooled gun and cable.

Magnum X-Tractor gun and cable assemblies provide fume extraction capability for welding with solid and cored wire electrodes. See the appropriate Magnum Literature for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere air cooled gun and cable assemblies that are avail- able.

Note:Most Non-Lincoln Guns can be connected to the Power Feed 11 provided the gun has a European Style Gun Connector.

GUN CONNECTION GUIDELINES

General Guidelines

The instructions supplied with the gun should be fol- lowed when installing and configuring a gun. What fol- lows are some general guidelines that are not intend- ed to cover all guns.

a. Check that the drive rolls, wire guide and gun adapter wire guide tube are proper for the elec- trode size and type being used. If not, change them.

b.Connect gun to gun connector making sure all pins and gas tube line up with appropriate holes in con- nector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun clockwise.

WATER COOLED GUIDELINES

The Power Feed 11 comes equipped with coolant inlet and outlet connections on the front and back of the feeder. The maximum water pressure permitted for use with the PF-11 is 100 psi.

a.Using male quick connect fittings, connect appro- priate water hoses to the coolant inlet and outlet on the back of the feeder. Connect the other ends of these hoses to the appropriate ports on your water cooling unit.

b.Connect the gun hoses to the coolant inlet and out- let on the front of the feeder. In the event the water line fittings on your water cooled gun are incompatible with the female quick connects on the front of the Power Feed 11, male quick connects are provided for installation on 3/16" (5mm) hose (Customer to provide appropriate clamps). The feeder connectors self seal when disconnected.

c.Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they are used even momentarily without water flowing. To protect the gun, we recommended that a K1536-1 Magnum Flow Sensor kit be installed. This will prevent wire feeding if no water flow is present. See ACCESSORIES Section for more information regarding this kit
