WIRE REEL LOADING (K1524-1
UNIVERSAL WIRE REEL STAND)
TO MOUNT A 30 lb (14 kg) READI-REEL
PACKAGE (USING THE MOLDED PLASTIC
K363-P READI-REEL ADAPTER):
The spindle should be located in the LOWER mount-
ing hole.
1. Depress the Release Bar on the Retaining Collar
and remove it from the spindle. See Figure B.6.
2. Place the Adapter on the spindle.
3. Re-install the Retaining Collar. Make sure that
the Release Bar “pops up” and that the collar
retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the
spindle.
4. Rotate the spindle and adapter so the retaining
spring is at the 12 o’clock position.
5. Position the Readi-Reel so that when it rotates
the wire is de-reeled from the bottom of the coil.
6. Set one of the Readi-Reel inside cage wires on
the slot in the retaining spring tab.
7. Lower the Readi-Reel to depress the retaining
spring and align the other inside cage wires with
the grooves in the molded adapter.
8. Slide the cage all the way onto the adapter until
the retaining spring “pops up” fully.
Check to be sure the Retaining Spring has fully returned
to the locking position and has SECURELY locked the
Readi-Reel cage in place. The Retaining Spring must
rest on the cage, not the welding electrode.
____________________________________
9. To remove the Readi-Reel from the Adapter,
depress the retaining spring tab with a thumb
while pulling the Readi-Reel cage from the molded
adapter with both hands. Do not remove the
Adapter from the spindle.
