IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical supply is disconnected.

Firstly remove the side cover, on the left hand side of the unit, by pulling it sharply
upwards.
(1) Removing/Replacing the Wire Spool
Re: Fig. 3
If the wire spool is mounted on the spool
holder, it needs to be removed in order
to remove the plastic wrapper. To do this,
proceed as follows:
Pull out the centre retainer, arrowed in
Fig.3, then squeeze the retaining lugs
together (on the spindle), so that the
spool may be withdrawn.
Remove the wrapper and replace the
spool, pushing home fully, and ensuring
the centre retainer is properly located.

(2) Installing the Wire
Re: Fig.4
1.
Loosen the plastic knob (A) by turning it
anticlockwise, (this device maintains
pressure on the wire).
2.
Pull, on the plastic knob, so that
the screw rod hinges out of its slot.
This releases the pivoted pressure
roller bracket (C). Raise the bracket,
in the direction of the arrow, and pull
out any wire that has been left in the
wire liner (D), pulling it from the
nozzle end of the hose.
