Mount the control cable and welding current cable to connectors on the rear walls and the return currentcable to the connector on Kempoweld´s front panel.3. Welding current polarity: By the connection made according to markings, the gun has positive voltage. Inorder to change the polarity interchange the welding and return current cable ends connected to the powersource with each other.4. If the MIG gun is water-cooled, mount the water hoses to the wire feeder unit.5. Mount the interconnection cable to the same connections.NOTE! The hoses of the water-cooled interconnection cable go also through the wire feeder unit.6. The wire feeder must be mounted to boom without galvanic contact to lift hook and boom. See the paragraphACCESSORIES.7. The MIG gun is mounted to the EURO connector. Use guide tubes and contact tips according to manufacturer´soperation instructions.
