CONNECTOR KIT INSTALLATION TO GUN CABLE

Most models of Magnum 300 and Magnum 400 gun cables, except K1802-1 and K2286-1, are shipped as generic assemblies and must be assembled with a K466 connector kit (See REPLACEMENT PARTS sec- tion Chart E for proper kit). The Magnum 400 Gun K2286-1 has a factory installed feeder end connector.

K466-1& -8 INSTALLATION (For Lincoln Feeders)

a.Remove brass cable connector and insulation tube (see Figure 1) from the K466-1 kit. Slide the insula- tion tube onto the connector from the threaded end and screw it onto the feeder end of the gun cable. Tighten the connection with the wrench provided.

b.Remove the molded gas plug fitting on the side of the feeder end handle and replace it with the barbed brass fitting provided in the kit. The included wrench will fit both the gas plug and barbed fitting.

c.Attach the round connector of the gun control cable provided to the trigger connector on the front of the Lincoln feeder. (NOTE: Both the plug and socket are keyed and must be properly oriented.)

d.Place one tubing clamp onto each end of the flexi- ble tubing provided, approximately 2” (51 mm) in from each end. Slide one end of the tubing onto the barbed connector on the feeder end cable handle (step b) and move the clamp down near the end of the tube to ensure a good gas seal.

NOTE: An optional K481 Magnum Fast-Connect Gas Tube Kit is available to provide tool-less gas tube con- nection to Lincoln wire feeders. Install per the instruc- tions sent with the kit.

K466-2 INSTALLATION (For Tweco Adapted Feeders)

a.Remove brass cable connector (see Figure 1) from the K466-2 kit and screw it onto the feeder end of the gun cable. Tighten the connection with the wrench provided.

b.Check that the molded gas plug fitting is sealing the gas fitting hole in the side of the feeder end handle.

K466-3 INSTALLATION (For Miller Feeders)

a.Remove brass cable connector (see Figure 1) from the K466-3 kit and screw it onto the feeder end of the gun cable. Tighten the connection with the wrench provided.
