Magnum 550 Guns
The easiest and least expensive way to use the
Magnum 550 guns with Power Feed 10 Dual wire feed-
ers is to order the gun with the K613-7 connector kit,
and install a K1500-3 gun connection kit to the wire
feeder.
Lincoln Innershield and Sub Arc Guns
All of these guns can be connected to the Power Feed
10 Dual Wire Feeder by using the K1500-1 Adapter Kit.
Lincoln Fume Extraction Guns
The K556 (250XA) and K566 (400XA) guns require
that a K489-2 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 installation
of a K1500-1 connector in the Power Feed wire feeder.
Non-Lincoln Guns
Most competitive guns can be connected to the Power
Feed 10 Dual Wire Feeder by using one of the K1500
series adapter kits, See “Gun Adapters” in ACCES-
SORIES section.
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 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 con-
ductor 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.
GMAW SHIELDING GAS
NOTE: 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).
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 wire drive.
Secure fitting with flow adjuster key at top. Attach gas
supply to 5/8-18 female inlet of regulator per instruc-
tions above.
CYLINDER may explode if damaged.
• 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.
