WIRE FEED DRIVE ROLL KITS

NOTE: The maximum rated solid and cored wire sizes and selected drive ratios are shown on the SPECIFICATIONS in the front of this section.

The electrode sizes that can be fed with each roll and guide tube are stenciled on each part. Check the kit for proper components. Kit specifications can be found in the ACCESSORIES section.

PROCEDURE TO INSTALL DRIVE ROLLS AND WIRE GUIDES

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

When feeding without Power Feed 10 Dual “Cold Feed” feature, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released.

Turn OFF input power at welding power source before installation or changing drive roll and/or guide tubes.

Welding power source must be connected to system ground per the National Electrical Code or any applicable local codes.

Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

Drive Roll Kit Installation (KP1505-[ ])

Turn OFF Welding Power Source.

Pull open Pressure Door to expose rolls and wire guides.

Remove Outer Wire Guide by turning knurled thumb screws counter-clock-wise to unscrew them from Feedplate.

Observe all additional Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual.

Insert inner Wire Guide, groove side out, over the two locating pins in the feedplate.

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).

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

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

TO SET DRIVE ROLL PRESSURE, see “Drive Roll Pressure Setting” in OPERATION.

GUN AND CAbLE ASSEMbLIES

WITH STANDARD CONNECTION

The Power Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feeder is equipped with a factory installed K1500-2 gun connection Kit. This kit is for guns having a Tweco™ #2-#4 connec- tor. The Power Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feederl has been designed to make connecting a variety of guns easy and inexpensive with the K1500 series of gun connection kits. Gun trigger and dual procedure lead connections connect to the single 5 pin receptacle on the front of the feed head box. See “Gun Adapters” in ACCESSORIES section.

GUN AND CAbLE ASSEMbLIES

WITH FAST-MATECONNECTION

(including the Magnum 450 Water Cooled gun)

A K489-9 adapter will install directly into the wire drive feedplate, to provide for use of guns with Fast-Mate™ or European style gun connections. This K489-9 will handle both standard Fast-Mate™and Dual Schedule Fast-Mate™ guns.

Another way to connect a gun with a Fast-Mate™ or European style gun connector to the Power Feed™

10Dual Wire Feeder, is to use the K489-10 Fast- Mate™ adapter kit. Installation of this adapter also requires a K1500-1 gun connector. See “Gun Adapters” in ACCESSORIES section.

Remove drive rolls, if any are installed, by pulling straight off shaft. Remove inner guide.

Magnum 200 / 300 / 400 Guns

The easiest and least expensive way to use Magnum 200/300/400 guns with the Power Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feeder is to order them with the K466-10 con- nector kit, or to buy a completely assembled Magnum gun having the K466-10 connector (such as the K497- 21 dedicated Magnum 400).
