SAFETY

Follow all safety guidelines in your power source and feeder operators manuals and any additional guidelines
covered in this manual.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The KP1507 series of drive roll kits contain a number of components, in addition to the drive rolls, to optimize the
wire feeder for aluminum feeding. These components are specifically designed to protect the aluminum wire
from abrasion and deformation, thereby avoiding many common aluminum feeding problems.

The provided plastic wire conduit and conduit bushing protect the wire from abrasion on it’s way into the wire
guides. The low friction plastic split wire guides protect the wire from abrasion, and support the wire as close as
possible to the drive rolls. The drive rolls have a special groove shape and finish. In addition, lower pressure
springs are provided for installation in the pressure door (except for kit KP1507-3/32A (2.4mm)). These springs
are optimized for aluminum feeding.

1. CONDUIT AND BUSHING
INSTALLATION

Refer to figure 2 and follow the following steps:

1. Turn off the welding power source.

• Only qualified persons should perform
this installation.

• Turn off the welding power source before installing
or changing drive rolls or guides.

• When inching with the gun trigger, the electrode and
drive mechanism are electrically “hot”.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The installation instructions are divided into three sec­tions:

1. Conduit bushing and conduit installation

2. Drive roll and wire guide installation

3. Pressure door spring installation (all kits except
KP1507-3/32A).

Note: Installation of the included pressure door
springs is not required, but is recommended for opti­mum wire feeding performance.

Figure 2 - Conduit Bushing and Conduit Installation

2.Loosen the set screw which secures the existing
incoming guide bushing and remove the bushing.

3. Thread the thumb screw into the new bushing.

Install the new conduit bushing into the wire feed
head.

Recommended Conduit Length:
Power Feed 10 13.0 in. (330 mm) as provided
LN-10, STT-10 11.5 in. (290 mm)
DH-10 10.0 in (250 mm)
Power Feed 11 1.0 in (25 mm)

4. FOR LINCOLN CONDUIT: Measure the conduit

and cut to the desired length. A tubing cutter makes
the best cut. A hacksaw or utility knife may also be
used.

5. Back out the thumb screw from the bushing insert

the conduit. Tighten the thumb screw. The thumb
screw threads will lock the conduit in place.
