ADAPTER K2335-1

This Lincoln Electric wire feeder may be mounted to a limited number of Miller Electric power sources. The Miller power source must have the circular connector pin definition shown in the table below for proper oper- ation of the wire feeder. Be sure the Miller power source provides 24 VAC to the wire feeder and has overcurrent protection of no more than 15 amps. The power source must not exceed 113VDC peak.

Operation of Lincoln wire feeders on Miller power sources may result in lack of high wire feed speeds or reduced pull force at high wire feed speeds. Approximate maximum WFS for Lincoln wire feeders operating with 24 VAC:

LF-72

720 ipm

LF-74

720 ipm

LF-74, extra torque

360 ipm
