Gun Lead Connections

Power Cable
A #2 AWG power cable is used on the Python-Plus. The gun end of the
cable has a fi tting crimped to the copper cable strands. This fi tting is
then threaded into the gun body. The cabinet end of the power cable is
incorporated into the Power/Gas Adaptor.
Conduit
The Python-Plus comes standard with a poly-lined conduit, for feeding
aluminum wire. The longer fi tting with a shallow groove is used on the gun
end. A set screw located on top of the gun handle secures the conduit in
place. The cabinet end of the conduit is incorporated into the Power/Gas
Adaptor.
Gas Hose
The gas hose is pushed over a barbed fi tting on the gun body and secured
with a plastic tie wrap. The cabinet end of the gas hose is incorporated into
the Power/Gas Adaptor.
Electric Cable
A multi-conductor control cable is used on the Python-Plus. The gun end of
the cable is secured with a cable clamp and the wires are connected to the
potentiometer, the micro switch, the motor and the gun body mechanically.
Slack is left in the electric cable as it exits the back of the gun to prevent
cable and/or wire breakage. The cabinet end of the control cable uses a
7-Pin, Amphenol connector.
