WIRE REEL LOADING

WARNING

•Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from rotating equipment.

•Do not wear gloves when threading wire or changing wire spool.

•Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Loading 10 to 15 lb. (4.5 – 6.8kg) Spools

A K468 spindle adapter is required for loading 2" wide spools on 2" (51mm) spindles. Use a K468-1 spindle adapter for loading 2-1/2" (64mm) wide spools. (See figure A.7 and figure A.8)

1.Squeeze the release bar on the retaining collar and remove it from the spindle.

2.Place the spindle adapter on the spindle, aligning the spindle brake pin with the hole in the adapter.

3.Place the spool on the spindle and align the adapter brake tab with one of the holes in the back side of the spool. An indicator mark on the end of the spindle shows the orientation of the brake tab. Be certain the wire feeds off of the spool in the proper direction.

4.Re-install the retaining collar. Make sure that the release bar snaps out and that the retaining collar fully engages the groove on the spindle.

Spindle Placement

The wire reel stand provides two mounting locations for the spindle. Each mounting location consists of a tube in the center of the mast and locating slots.

Loading 16 to 44 lb. (7.3 – 20kg) Spools (See figure A.8)

1.Squeeze the release bar on the retaining collar and remove it from the spindle.

2.Place the spool on the spindle, aligning the spindle brake pin with one of the holes in the back side of the spool. An indicator mark on the end of the spin- dle shows the orientation of the brake holding pin. Be certain the wire feeds off of the spool in the proper direction.

3.Re-install the retaining collar. Make sure that the release bar snaps out and that the retaining collar fully engages the groove on the spindle.

Loading 30 lb. (13.6 kg) Readi-Reels (See Figure A.9)

AK363-P Readi-Reel adapter is required for loading these spools on 2" (51mm) spindles.

1.Squeeze the release bar on the retaining collar and remove it from the spindle.

2.Place the Readi-Reel adapter on the spindle, align- ing the spindle brake pin with one of the holes in the adapter.

3.Re-install the retaining collar. Make sure that the release bar snaps out and that the retaining collar fully engages the groove on the spindle.

4.Rotate the spindle and adapter until the retaining spring is at the 12 o’clock position.

5.Position the Readi-Reel so that electrode de-reels in the proper direction.

6.Set one of the Readi-Reel inside cage wires on the slot in the retaining spring.

7.Lower the Read-Reel to depress the retaining spring and align the other inside cage wires with the grooves in the adapter.

8.Slide the cage all way onto the adapter until the retaining spring "pops up" fully.
