The easiest and least expensive way to use the
Magnum 550 guns with Power Feed™ 10 Dual wire
feeders is to order the gun with the K613-7 connector
kit, and install a K1500-3 gun connection kit to the
wire feeder.
"<A6B?AAA8EF;<8?74A7)H5E6HAF
All of these guns can be connected to the Power
Feed™ 10 Dual Wire Feeder by using the K1500-1
Adapter Kit.
"<A6B?AH@8KGE46G<BAHAF
The K556 (250XA) and K566 (400XA) guns require
that a K489-10 Fast-Mate™ adapter kit be installed.
Installation of this adapter also requires a K1500-1
gun connector kit.
The K206, K289, and K309 require only the installa-
tion of a K1500-1 connector in the Power Feed wire
feeder.

Most competitive guns can be connected to the Power

The instructions supplied with the gun and K1500
series gun adapter should be followed when installing
and configuring a gun. What follows are some gener-
al guidelines that are not intended to cover all guns.
a. Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are
proper for the electrode size and type being used.
If not, change them.
b. Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector
on the welding conductor cable into the brass
conductor block on the front of the wire drive
head. Make sure it is all the way in and tighten
the hand clamp. Keep this connection clean and
bright. Connect the trigger control cable polarized
plug into the mating 5 cavity receptacle on the
front of the wire drive unit.

$%*Gas supply pressure must be regulated to a
maximum of 80 psi(5.5 bar).
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 wire
drive 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 wire drive or, if used, on the inlet of
the Gas Guard regulator. (See Below).
4FH4E7(8:H?4GBEThe Gas Guard Regulator is
