Weld Wire Routing, Removing a Readi-Reel | Lincoln Electric IM915

A-12	INSTALLATION	A-12

Loading 30 lb. (13.6 kg) Readi-Reels (See Figure A.11)

A K363-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.

Removing a Readi-Reel

1.To remove a Readi-Reel from the an adapter, depress the retaining spring with a thumb while pulling the Readi-Reel cage from the adapter with both hands. Do not remove the adapter 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 Readi-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.

WELD WIRE ROUTING

The electrode supply may be either from reels, Readi- Reels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or reels. Observe the following precautions:

a)The electrode must be routed to the wire drive unit so that the bends in the wire are at a mini- mum, and also that the force required to pull the wire from the reel into the wire drive unit is kept at a minimum.

b)The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is pressed and must be insulated from the boom and structure.

c)If more than one wire feed unit shares the same boom and are not sharing the some power source output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated from each other as well as insulated from their mounting structure.
