4.3 Connecting the Bikox cable/cable assembly, fig. A
1 At the wire feeder: Insert the central plug in the connecting socket.
2 At the wire feeder: Secure the cable assembly with the connection nut.
3 For liquid cooled torches only. Connect the flow line (blue) and return
line (red).
• Check the coolant's minimum fill level.
4.4 Purging the coolant circuit, fig. B
For liquid cooled torches only.
1 Place the collection receptacle below the coolant return connector (red).
2 Loosen the coolant return hose at the coolant recirculator and hold it over
a collection receptacle.
4.5 Residual coolant for ABIMIG
NOTICE
• Make sure that no residual coolant enters the wire conduit!
• When unscrewing the torch neck (5), always keep the torch handle pointing downwards. This prevents residual coolant from seeping into the gas and
wire guides.
• Plug the torch handle with the sealing plug (6) to prevent residual coolant from escaping.
4.6 Connecting the shielding gas
• Select the appropriate shielding gas for the welding task at hand.
• Briefly open the gas supply valve and close it again to blow out any
contamination at the connector.
4.7 Feed in wire
CAUTION

Risk of injury

Puncture or cut-in wounds may be caused by the wire electrode.
• Keep your hands out of the danger zone and wear the correct protective gloves.
1 Cut off a small piece of the start of the wire with a cutter to remove any
burrs.
2 Insert the wire in the wire feeder according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

 8 Maintenance and cleaning on page EN-39
• Recommendation: Use ABICOR BINZEL coolant from the BTC range.
• To prevent damage to the welding machine, do not use deionized or
demineralized water.
• Purge the coolant circuit the first time the equipment is commissioned and
with every cable assembly replacement.
3 Seal the opening on the coolant return hose. Open and close it multiple
times. Repeat this process until the coolant flows into the collection recep-
tacle continuously and without air bubbles.
4 Re-connect the return hose to the coolant recirculator.
• Connect the shielding gas to the welding device according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
• Adjust and set the amount of shielding gas for the gas nozzle in use and
welding task at hand.
3 Press the button to switch off power to the wire feeder until the wire exits
the contact tip.
4 Cut off any protruding wire.
Additional operating modes and handle modules depend on the power
source and must be purchased separately.
