CONNECTOR KIT INSTALLATION TO GUN CABLE
The K598 MAGNUM® 550 Guns and Cables are
shipped as "generic" and must be assembled with
either a K613-1 Lincoln Connection Kit for standard
Lincoln wire feeders (LN-8 or LN9 using smaller than
1/16 electrode), a K613-2 Tweco Adapted Feeder
Connection Kit for wire feeders adapted for use with
comparable size Tweco gun cables, a K613-3
Connector Kit for a variety of Miller wire feeders, a
K613-4 Connector Kit for a variety of older Hobart wire
feeders, a K613-5 Connector Kit for Hobart Series
2000 wire feeders and K613-6 Connector Kit for LN-8
or LN-9 wire feeders using 1/16 and larger electrode.
Each of the above connections are covered below.
You may skip to the instructions that are appropriate
for your wire feeder.
K613-1 & K613-6 Installation (For Lincoln Feeders)
a. Remove brass cable connector and insulation tube
(See Figure 1) from the K613-1 kit. Slide the insu-
lation tube onto the connector from the threaded
end and screw it onto the feeder end of the gun
cable. Tighten the connection.
b. Remove the molded gas plug fitting on the side of
the feeder end handle and replace it with the
barbed brass fitting provided in the kit.
c. Attach the round connector of the gun control
cable provided to the trigger connector on the front
of the Lincoln feeder.
NOTE: Both the plug and socket are keyed and
must be properly oriented.
d. Place one tubing clamp onto each end of the flexi-
ble tubing provided, approximately 2” (51mm) in
from each end. Slide one end of the tubing onto
the barbed connector on the feeder end cable
handle (step b) and move the clamp down near
the end of the tube to assure a good gas seal.
NOTE: An optional K481 MAGNUM® Fast-
Connect Gas Tube Kit is available to provide tool-
less gas tube connection to Lincoln wire feeders.
Install per the instructions sent with the kit.
K613-2 Installation (For Tweco Adapted Feeders
and Lincoln DH-10, LN-10, PF-10 and STT-10 )
a. Remove brass cable connector (See Figure 1)
from the K613-2 kit and screw it onto the feeder
end of the gun cable. Tighten the connection.
b. Check that the molded gas plug fitting is sealing
the gas fitting hole in the side of the feeder end
handle.
K613-3 Installation (For Miller Feeders)
a. Remove brass cable connector (See Figure 1)
from the K613-3 kit and screw it on to the feeder
end of the gun cable. Tighten the connection.
b. Check that the molded gas plug fitting is sealing
the gas fitting hole in the side of the feeder end
handle.
