4) Connect the remaining end of the control cable
with the 8-socket cable plug to the mating recepta-
cle on the Synergic 7.
5) Install the input cable under the wire reel mounting
stand strain relief clamp. Remove the screws hold-
ing the clamp to the base of the wire reel mounting
assembly, put the input cable assembly under the
clamp and reinstall the screws.
Work Cable
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (per
the following table) between the proper output terminal
on the power source and the work. Be sure the con-
nection to the work makes tight metal-to-metal electri-
cal contact.
* For pulse welding applications, the next larger cable
size is recommended.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
INSTALLATION
K178-1 Mounting Platform - Synergic 7 Models on
Synergic Power Sources (Requires a K303, K376,
K377, K378 or K445 Wire Reel Assembly) This is a
turntable type platform for mounting the Synergic 7 on
the top of Synergic power sources. Bolt the platform to
the lift bail per instructions (M16260) supplied with the
platform.
K162-H Spindle for Mounting Readi-Reels and 2" (51
mm) I.D. Spools (60 lb/27 kg Capacity) (For use with
K303 and K376 Wire Reel Stand) To mount the 2" spin-
dle kit for Readi-Reels and 10 through 60 pound
spools, remove the shaft for the standard 50-60 pound
wire coils from the mounting framework. Install the
spindle per the instructions shipped with the kit.
When used with Readi-Reels, a Readi-Reel Adapter is
required.
For 8" O.D. (200 mm) spools, a K468 Spindle Adapter
is available.
K163 Undercarriage (Requires K303, K376, K377, or
K378) The undercarriage includes casters, wheels, a
handle and related hardware. Casters are mounted at
the front and the wheels to the rear of the platform.
The handle is bolted to the front of the platform so the
Synergic 7 can be tilted back and wheeled like a two-
wheel truck. Instruction sheet M13424 for assembly
installing the K303, K376, K377, or K378 wire stand is
provided with the undercarriage.
