5.5.2 Installing a split wire guide in the cable assembly
The correct liner must be inserted to suit the filler material and the wire diameter, see the
spare parts list.
The wire guide is inserted through the cable assembly from the rear, reaching the guide
nipple that is installed in the flange where the torch neck will be attached. The following
worksteps must be followed in order to correctly determine the wire guide length. (Example
for Euro central connector).
1. For standard RT system: Install the guide nipple (1) in the center hole of the neck
support flange, see illustration A below.
For hollow wrist system: Install the guide nipple (1) into the torch interface of the
KSC-2 / FLC-2 cover, see illustration B below.
2. Remove the sleeve nut (2) from the central connector, and remove the old wire guide.
3. Insert the wire guide through the central connection and push forwards as far as it will go
into the guide nipple (1), applying light pressure.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the wire guide has advanced right up to the stop at the front,
rotating and pushing forward gently.
4. Measure the excess length that needs to be cut from the wire guide.
