Connecting subfeeder

The X8 SuperSnake GT02XW coupling transfers welding power, shielding gas and gun trigger lines as well as Control Pad data.

Note that there should be a small length of straight filler wire sticking out for connection.

1.

Guide the filler wire from the wire feeder into the liner and connect the subfeeder cable to the wire feeder.

2.

Secure the cable by hand tightening the collar.

3.

Connect the cooling hoses. The coolant inlet hose is marked with blue and the coolant outlet hose with red color.

4.

Connect the subfeeder cable and the welding gun to the subfeeder. Hand tighten the collars and secure the cable to the frame with the band attached.

X8 SuperSnake GT02XW is designed to accept welding guns with the X8 MIG Welder's Kemppi fitting. To ensure reliable welding performance, please ensure the gun is suitable for the intended welding application and is in good working order, correctly fitted with a suitable liner and contact tip as well as with the water cooling hoses.

5.

Connect the cooling hoses together. The coolant inlet hose is marked with blue and the coolant outlet hose with red color.

6.

In Control Pad System settings, go to Subfeeder selection. Select the X8 SuperSnake GT02XW subfeeder according to the length of the subfeeder cable used.

If the X8 SuperSnake GT02XW is not available in the settings, your X8 MIG Welder's firmware must be updated to the latest release version. For more information on the X8 MIG Welder operation, refer to the X8 MIG Welder's instructions.

When you continue welding without the subfeeder, change the subfeeder setting accordingly.
