OPERATION
B-8
TO MOUNT 10 TO 44 LB (4.5 TO 20
KG) SPOOLS [12 IN. (300 MM)
DIAMETER] OR 14 LB (6 KG)
INNERSHIELD COILS (FIGURE B.4):
The spindle should be located in the LOWER
mounting hole.
(For 8 in. (200 mm) spools, a K468 spindle adapter
must first be slipped onto spindle.)
(For 13 to 14 lb (6 kg) Innershield coils, a K435 coil
adapter must be used).
1. Depress the release bar on the retaining collar
and remove it from the spindle.
2. Place the spool on the spindle making certain the
spindle brake pin enters one of the holes in the
back side of the spool. Be certain the wire comes
off the reel in a direction so as to de-reel from the
bottom of the coil.
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.
TO MOUNT A 50 TO 60 LB (22.7 TO
27.2 KG) COIL (USING K1504-1 COIL
REEL) (FIGURE B.5):
NOTE: (For 50 to 60 lb Readi-Reels a K438
Readi-Reel adapter must be used).
The spindle must be located in the UPPER mounting
hole.
1. With the K1504-1 coil reel mounted on to the 2 in.
(51 mm) spindle (or with reel laying flat on the
floor) loosen the spinner nut and remove the reel
cover. See Figure B.5.
2. Before cutting the tie wires, place the coil of elec-
trode on the reel so it unwinds from the bottom as
the reel rotates. The slots in the cardboard liner
should align over the spring loaded arms.
3. Tighten the spinner nut against the reel cover as
much as possible by hand using the reel cover
spokes for leverage. DO NOT hammer on the
spinner nut arms.
4. Cut and remove only the tie wire holding the free
end of the coil. Hook the free end around the rim
of the reel cover and secure it by wrapping it
around. Cut and remove the remaining tie wires.
FIGURE B.5 — K1504-1 COIL REEL.
Always be sure the free end of the coil is securely
held while the tie wires are being cut and until the
wire is feeding through the drive rolls. Failure to do
this will result in “backlashing” of the coil, which may
tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not feed so it must
either be untangled or discarded.

5. Be sure the coil reel is engaged with the spindle
brake pin and the release bar on the retaining col-
lar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully
engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
