Changing the ratio requires a gear change and a PC board switch change. The Power Feed Wire Feeders are shipped with both high speed and a low speed gears. As shipped from the factory, the low speed (high torque) gear is installed on the feeder. To change Gear ratio see Power Feed 10/R Instruction Manual.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

1.Set the High/Low switch code on Wire Drive PC board as follows:

•Turn off power to the power source at the discon- nect switch.

•Remove the front cover from the power source.

•The wire feed head board is on the right side of the power source. Locate the 8- position DIP switch and look for position 8 of the DIP switch.

•Using a pencil or other small object, slide the switch right to the OFF position, when the low speed gear is installed. Conversely, slide the switch left to the ON position when the high speed gear is installed.

ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

•Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will “read” the switch at power up, automatically adjusting all control parameters for the speed range selected.
