3.09 Optional Wire Feeder Set Up MIG (GMAW) Welding with Gas Shielded MIG Wire
The Transmig 250i is supplied with a Tweco Fusion 250 AMP air-cooled MIG Torch. The Fusion MIG Torch is designed
with an ergonomic handle and fewer parts to reduce performance problems. The Fusion MIG Torch uses standard
readily available Tweco consumable parts.
When using a Gas Shielded wire with the 2RT Wire Feeder, you need to have an external gas source attached to the 2RT.
For most Gas Shielded wire, connect the Work Lead to the negative - terminal on the front of the 250i and connect
the Welding Power Cable from the back of the 2RT to the positive + terminal on the front of the 250i. Check with wire
manufacturer for recommended polarity.
The 2RT Wire Feeder is fitted with an 8M interconnection cable assembly to connect from the back of the 2RT to the
front of the 250i welding power source.
Connect the MIG Torch to the front of the 2RT as you would to the front of the 250i in Sections 3.23 and 3.24.

Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the
terminal.
Remove any packaging material prior to use. DO NOT block the air vents at the front or rear of the Welding
Power Source.
NOTE
Depending on the type of wire you will be using the Welding Power Cable may need to be switched. Follow
the wire manufacturers recommendation.
