Gun Cable Connection with Fast-Mate
Connection
1. Check that the drive rolls, feeder guide tubes and
gun connector guide tube are appropriate for the
electrode size being used. If necessary, change
them per “Wire Drive Roll Kits” in this section.
2. Connect gun to gun connector making sure all pins
and gas tube line up with appropriate holes in con-
nector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun
cable clockwise.
10 SERIES WIRE DRIVE WATER
CONNECTIONS (FOR WATER
COOLED GUNS)
10 Series Wire Drive: must have a K590-4 Water
Connection Kit installed for water cooled guns. (See
ACCESSORIES).
Using male quick-connect fittings, connect the water
hoses to the coolant inlet and outlet on the back of the
wire drive. Connect the other ends of these hoses to
the appropriate ports on the water cooling units.
In the event the water line fittings on your water
cooled gun are incompatible with the female quick
connects on the front of the wire drive, male quick-
connects (L.E. Part No. S19663) are provided in the
Kit for installation on 3/16" (5 mm) I.D. hose
(Customer to provide appropriate clamps). The feeder
connectors self seal when disconnected.

Gun Cable Connection with Standard
Connection
1. Check that the drive rolls and guide tubes are
proper for the electrode size and type being used.
If necessary, change them per “Wire Drive Roll
Kits” in this section.
2. Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on
the welding conductor cable into the brass conduc-
tor 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.
3. For GMA Gun Cables with separate gas fitting (10
Series Wire Drive using K1500-1 Gun Adapter),
connect the 3/16" I.D. gas hose from the wire drive
unit to the gun cable barbed fitting.
GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES
WITH FAST-MATE CONNECTION
(Requires K489-10 Fast Mate™ Adapter Kit used with
the K1500-1 Gun Adapter)
GMAW Guns
An expanding line of Magnum Fast-Mate™ air cooled
and water cooled gun and cable assemblies are avail-
able to allow welding with solid and cored electrodes
using the GMAW process. See the appropriate
Magnum literature for descriptions of the 200 to 400
ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available
as well as the Magnum “Super Cool” 450 ampere
water cooled gun and cable. Gun cable lengths range
from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 25 ft. (7.6 m) and feed electrode
sizes .025" (0.6 mm) to 5/64" (20 mm).
An expanding line of Magnum X-Tractor gun and
cable assemblies provides fume extraction capability
for welding with solid and cored electrodes using the
GMAW process. See the appropriate Magnum litera-
ture for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere air
cooled gun and cables that are available. Gun cable
lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 15 ft. (4.5 m) and
feed electrode sizes .035" (0.9 mm) to 1/16" (1.6 mm).
These guns require the use of either the K173-1 or
K184* vacuum units.
*Requires S14927-8 connector hose and an S20591
hose adapter.
