INSTALLATION
SYNERGIC 7 & 7H
A-8
Synergic 7 Water Connections (for Water-
Cooled Guns)
These Synergic 7 models must have a K590-4 Water
Connection Kit installed. See Options Installation section.
1) Using male quick-connect fittings (included with
appropriate Synergic 7 input cable assemblies), con-
nect the water hoses to the coolant inlet and outlet on
the back of the Synergic 7. Connect the other ends of
these hoses to the appropriate ports on the water
cooling units.
2) In the event the water line fittings on your water
cooled gun are incompatible with the female quick
connects on the front of the Synergic 7, male quick-
connects are provided for installation on 3/16 (5 mm)
I.D. hose (Customer to provide appropriate clamps).
The feeder connectors self seal when disconnected.
GMAW Shielding Gas
Customer must provide a cylinder of shielding gas, a
pressure regulator, a flow control valve, and a hose
from the flow valve to the gas inlet fitting of the
Synergic 7 Wire Feed Unit.
Connect a supply hose from the gas cylinder flow
valve outlet to the 5/8-18 female inert gas fitting on the
back panel of the Synergic 7 or, if used, on the inlet of
the Gas Guard regulator. (See Below).
Gas Guard Regulator - The Gas Guard Regulator is
an optional accessory (K659-1) on these models.
Install the 5/8-18 male outlet of the regulator to the
5/8-18 female gas inlet on the back panel of the
Synergic 7. Secure fitting with flow adjuster key at top.
Attach gas supply to 5/8-18 female inlet of regulator
per instructions in the “Gas Connections” Section.

• Keep cylinder upright and chained to
support.
• Keep cylinder away from areas where
it may be damaged.
• Never lift welder with cylinder attached.
• Never allow welding electrode to touch cylinder.
• Keep cylinder away from welding or other live elec-
trical circuits.
BUILDUP OF SHIELDING GAS may
harm health or kill.
Shut off shielding gas supply when not
in use.
