K163 UNDERCARRIAGE
(REQUIRES K303, K377, OR K378)
The undercarriage includes casters, wheels, a handle,
and related hardware. Casters are mounted at the
front and wheels are mounted at the rear of the plat-
form. The handle is bolted to the front of the platform
so the wire feeder can be tilted back and wheeled like
a two-wheel truck. Installation sheet M13424 is provid-
ed with the undercarriage.

K178 MOUNTING PLATFORM

This is a turntable type platform for mounting the LN-8
to the top of Idealarc power sources. Bolt the platform
to the lift bail per the instructions supplied with the
platform.

K261 METER KIT

All LN-8 wire feed units with code no. 7580 to 7925
come equipped with a factory calibrated Speedmeter
Trimmer PC board and meter kit receptacle prepared
to accept the optional K261 speed-ammeter voltmeter
(analog) kit. LN-8 wire feed units no. 7926 and above
come with the speedmeter trimmers incorporated into
the Control PC board.

K202 BURNBACK KIT

This kit is useful to help prevent the electrode from
sticking in the crater at the end of the weld in two
types of welding applications:
1. Welding with small diameter wire [0.035 thru 1/16
in. (0.9 thru 1.6 mm)] at fast wire feed speed
when there is a tendency to overrun the wire.
2. When the semiautomatic gun is mounted in a fix-
ture or on the K62 Squirtmobile in such a manner
that it cannot be lifted from the work at the end of
the weld.
The kit delays the dropout of the contactor allowing
the electrode to burnback from the crater at the end of
the weld. The delay time is adjustable for optimum
burnback for different sizes, processes, and proce-
dures. Installation instructions are shipped with the kit.
ACCESSORIES

K58 MAGNETIC SEPARATOR

Useful with any submerged arc equipment. The unit
removes foreign magnetic particles from reused sub-
merged arc welding flux. Operating instructions are
included with the kit.

K119 GRAVITY FEED FLUX CONE

The flux cone is manual feed attachment for the K112
and K113 sub-arc guns that is used instead of the
continuous feed flux system. The flux cone attaches to
the gun using the screws provided. The cone also
includes a new clamp to be used to hold the trigger
pod to the gun. Use it in place of the clamp shipped
with the gun.

K310 FLUX SCREEN

The unit was designed to fit the top of either the stan-
dard fill funnel or the K58 magnetic separator. The
unit has a steel screen with 0.065 to 0.075 in. open-
ings and an air vibrator attached to the frame. The
vibrator can be used with air line pressures ranging
from 20 through 100 psi.
For ease of handling, the user should connect the
incoming air line to the 1/8 in. pipe elbow with the aid
of a quick disconnect type air coupling.
It is very important that reclaimed flux to be used in
the continuous flux feeding system be passed through
the K310 screen or its equivalent.

K320 FLUX TANK

The flux tank is available to permit the LN-8 to be
used for submerged arc welding. Installation instruc-
tions are shipped with the kit.
K161 MECHANIZED TRAVEL
POWER PACK
The power pack supplies the power needed by the
K110 hand travel unit or the K62 Squirtmobile when
used with the K114 sub-arc welding gun. Complete
installation instructions are shipped with the kit.
