Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a K466-2 Connector Kit will connect easily to any properly adapted feeder.

a.Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide, as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the electrode size being used.

b.Fully push the brass connector end of the gun cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the hand screw or set screw in the adapter.

c.Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con- nector handle.

Connection to Miller Feeders

Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled with a K466-3 Connector Kit will connect easily to a variety of popular Miller wire feeders.

a.Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for the elec- trode size being used. Three different diameter pieces of liner material are included in each kit.

b.Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and cable into the connector receptacle on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand screw to clamp down on the connector.

c.Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con- nector handle.

Connection to Hobart Feeders

Gun and cable assembles which were assembled with a K466-4 Connector Kit will connect easily to a variety of Hobart wire feeders.

a.Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for the elec- trode size being used. These different diameter pieces of liner material are included in each kit.

b.Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and cable into connector receptacle on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand screw to clamp down on the connector.

c.Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable connector handle.

d.Slide the free end of the flexible hose (mounted to the gun in K466-4 Installation Section) onto the gas fitting on the Hobart wire feeder. Move the corresponding tubing clamp down near the end of the tube to assure a good gas seal.

Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a K466-5 Connector Kit will connect easily to an L- Tec feeder equipped with an L-Tec feeder connector assembly. L-Tec feeders require this connector assembly (similar to a Tweco® adapter) to connect with a gun and cable.

a.Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide, as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the electrode size being used.

b.Fully push the brass connector end of the gun cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the hand screw, set screw or pin.

c.Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con- nector handle. For machines with a twist-lock trig- ger lead receptacle, if the L-Tec gun control cable does not easily connect with the socket, the gun control cable that came with the K466-5 kit can be used. To do this, cut off the gun control leads as close to the forked terminals as possible and skin back the leads 7/16 inch (11 mm). Remove the twist-lock plug from the L-Tec control cable and connect it to the K466-5 cable Make sure the outer jacket of the connector is caught within the plug’s strain relief.
