CONNECT THE UMBILICAL TO THE WIRE FEEDER .
The wire feeder controls all wire feed operations and is connected to the
unit via the umbilical cable which is provided which provides separate
connections for the gas (#1), control (#2) and power connections (#3).
The umbilical is connected directly to the connections on the front of the
power source and to the rear of the wire feeder. The main power cable
connects via the DINSE type connector on the front and is bolted to the
copper lug on the rear (#3). The copper lug identifies which in should be
connected. It should be fully tightened, but not over torqued to prevent
stripping of the connection bolt. Make sure the strain relief (#4) is installed
properly to secure the umbilical to the feeder. Only use hand tools to com-
plete the connection of both the power cable and the gas line. Use two
wrenches when tightening the gas line to the wire feeder. Use only finger

pressure to tighten the control cable to the wire feeder and the welding
power source. NOTICE: The power connection can be placed in either the
positive (+) or the negative (-) DINSE type terminal on the front of the
machine. The exact location is determined by process and recommended
polarity. See next page for general wire feed polarity recommendations.
Use the guide below to make the proper connections before using with the
wire feeder. The wire feeder may be used or mounted separately without
the cart. Longer cables are available up to 50 ft as an option if the wire
feeder needs to be detached from the cart. If the feeder is being used but
is not mounted to the cart, secure the feeder so it cannot be turned over.
Be sure to inspect the gas line portion of the umbilical upon installation for
leaks and tighten all fittings. Periodically recheck for leaks caused by abra-
sions caused by moving the welder and for holes created by welding.
