GENERAL GUN CONNECTION GUIDELINES
The instructions supplied with the gun and K1500
series gun adapter should be followed when
installing and configuring a gun. What follows are
some general 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 per drive
roll installation instructions in the
Operation
section.
b. Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connec-
tor 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 connec-
tion clean and bright. Connect the trigger
control cable polarized plug into the mating
five cavity receptacle on the front of the wire
drive unit.
NOTE: For Fast-Mate and European connector style
guns, connect gun to gun connector making sure all
pins and gas tube line up with appropriate holes in
connector. Tighten gun by turning large nut on gun
clockwise.
c. For GMA gun cables with separate gas fit-
tings, connect the 3/16 in. I.D. gas hose
from the wire drive unit to the gun cable
barbed fitting.
d. For water cooled guns, refer to the instruc-
tions supplied with the kit.
