WIRE SPINDLE PLACEMENT
The reel stand provides two mounting locations for the 2 inch diameter wire reel spindle to accommo- date various reel sizes. Each mounting location con- sists of a tube in the center of the reel stand, and a locating pin on the right side (viewed from the front) of the reel stand. The bolt, used with a plain washer and lock washer, slides through the tube from the left side of the reel stand. The large plain washer is placed between the wire spindle hub and the reel stand. The bolt should be threaded into the wire spindle such that the locating pin aligns with the largest of the three holes (the hole that is not recessed) in the back side of the wire spindle base.
The upper location must be used for 50 to 60 lb
For smaller coils (44 lb, 30 lb, 10 lb, 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 incoming wire guide as straight as possible. This will optimize wire feeding performance.
