WIRE SPINDLE PLACEMENT

The reel stand provides two mounting locations for the 2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommodate var- ious reel sizes. Each mounting location consists of a tube in the center of the reel stand, and locating slots on the outside of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a plain washer and lock washer, slides through the tube from the side of the reel stand. The bolt should be threaded into the wire spindle such that the tabs on the brake mechanism align with the locating slots, then tighten.

The upper location must be used for 50-60 lb. Readi- Reels, Spools and Coils.

For smaller coils (44lb, 30lb, 10lb, etc.), the spindle can be placed in either the upper or lower location. The goal is to make the wire path from the coil to the wire drive an entry into the incoming guide tube that is as straight as possible. This will optimize wire feeding performance.

Flow Sensor Kit installation is as follows:

1.Remove rear access door of the wire feeder case.

2.Locate the shutdown circuit leads inside feeder case cavity (refer to table A.4).

Note: The leads will be connected together with insulated (pink) quick disconnects.

3.Disconnect pink quick-connect tabs (.25 inch tab terminals).

4.Locate and remove plastic plug on rear of wire feeder case.

5.Insert Flow Sensor leads through hole.

6.Connect Flow Sensor leads with shutdown circuit leads.

7.Replace rear access door.

WATER CONNECTIONS (FOR

WATER COOLED GUNS)

If a water cooled gun is to be installed for use with the Power Feed™ 10 Dual, a K590-6 Water connection kit can be installed for each gun requiring water cooling. Contained in the kit are the water lines and quick con- nect water line fittings that install in the wire feed head. Follow the installation instructions included in the kit. Water cooled guns can be damaged very quickly if they are used even momentarily without water flowing. To protect the gun, we recommended that a water flow sense kit be installed. This will pre- vent wire feeding if no water flow is present.

WIRE FEED SHUT DOWN CIRCUIT (OPTIONAL)

This option is intended as a means of disabling weld- ing in the event that the water flow (for a water cooled gun) is not present. Water cooled guns can be quickly damaged if they are momentarily used without water flow. This matter can be avoided when a Lincoln Flow Sensor Kit (K1536-1) is applied to the wire feeder shutdown circuit.

The Flow Sensor Kit has two control leads that become electrically common when the water is flow- ing. When integrated with the wire feeder shut down circuit, it forms a closed (common) circuit and enables welding. In the event that water is not flowing, the Flow Sensor circuit (shut down circuit) is electrically opened which disables any further operation.
