4.1
Installing 12.5 lb Spool (8 in. diameter)
In order to fit a 12.5 lb spool (8 in. diameter) assemble parts in the sequence shown in the figure
below.
To install wire spool, refer to the steps below.
Figure 12: 12.5 lb (8 in.) spool installation
1 Wire spool hub nut
5 12.5 lb (8 in.) wire spool
2 Flat washer small hole
6 Spool hub
3 Spring small hole
4 Plastic nut
1) Remove wire spool hub retaining clip. Grasp the loop and pull.
2) Place wire spool onto the hub, loading it so that the wire will feed off the bottom of the spool
as the spool rotates counter clockwise. Make sure to align the spool alignment pin on the hub
with the mating hole in the wire spool.
3) Replace the wire spool hub retaining clip in the set of holes closest to the spool.
NOTE!
The hub tension has been pre-adjusted at the factory. However if adjustment is
required, see the "Wire reel brake" section.
CAUTION!
Use care in handling the spooled wire as it will tend to “unravel” when loosened from
the spool. Grasp the end of the wi
re firmly and don’t let go of it.
