5.Feed and guide the spool wire into the Wire Feed Mechanism, past the feed wheels (C), and into the Welding Torch / Cable (15).

It will help if the Welding Torch / Cable (15) is straightened out as much as possible. Push in until the wire comes out the Welding Torch head. If it cannot be fed manually all the way out, it can be fed automatically when the welding unit is powered up.

7.Check that +/– cables to connection Knobs (29) are correct. See photo (top-left).

When using non-flux wire and protective gas, connect wire cables as shown in photo. For 0.9 flux cored wire, no gas is required. Reverse cable connections.
