RATIO CHANGE PROCEDURE:

1)Pull open the Pressure Door.

2)Remove the Phillips head screw retaining the pin- ion gear to be changed and remove the gear. If the gear is not easily accessible or difficult to remove, remove the feed plate from the gearbox.

To remove feed plate:

a)Loosen the clamping collar screw using a 3/16” Allen wrench. The clamping collar screw is accessed from the bottom of the feed plate. It is the screw which is perpendicular to the feeding direction.

b)Loosen the retaining screw, which is also accessed from bottom of feeder, using a 3/16” Allen wrench. Continue to loosen the screw until the feed plate can be easily pulled off of the wire feeder.

3)Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the lower right face of the feed plate with a 3/16” Allen wrench.

4)Remove the screw on the left face of the feed plate. If changing from high speed (larger gear) to low speed (smaller gear), line the lower hole on the left face of the feed plate with the threads on the clamping collar. Line the upper hole with the threads to install larger gear for high speed feed- er. If feed plate does not rotate to allow holes to line up, further loosen the screw on right face of feed plate.

5)Remove the small gear from the output shaft. Lightly cover the output shaft with engine oil or equivalent. Install gear onto output shaft and secure with flat washer, lock washer, and Phillips head screw which were previously removed.

6)Tighten the screw on lower right face of feed plate.

7)Re-attach feed plate to wire feeder if removed in Step 2.

8)Feed plate will be rotated out-of-position due to the gear change. Adjust the angle of the feed plate per the instructions above.

9)Set the High/Low switch code on Wire Drive PC board as follows:

a)Remove the cover from the back of the feed head (2 screws). The PC board for the left feed head (facing forward) is located on the rear access panel. The PC board for the right feed head is located inside on the divider panel.

b)Locate the 8-position DIP switch near the top edge of the PC board, centered left to right. The setting will be made on the right most switch, S8.

c)Using a pencil or other small object, slide the switch down, to the “0” position, when the low speed gear is installed. Conversely, slide the switch up, to the “1” position, when the high speed gear is installed. Refer to Figure A.3.

d)Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will “read” the switch at power up, automati- cally adjusting all control parameters for the speed range selected.
