OPERATION
B-10
TO MOUNT 10 TO 44 lb (4.5 to 20 kg) SPOOLS
(12 in./300 mm DIAMETER) OR 14 lb (6 kg)
INNERSHIELD COILS:
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 the 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 backside 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) (FOR 50 to 60 lb
READI-REELS A K438 READI-REEL ADAPTER
MUST BE USED.)
The spindle should be located in the UPPER mount-
ing hole.
1. With the K-1504-1 Coil Reel mounted on 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.7.
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.
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 wrap it around to secure.
Cut and remove the retaining tie wires.
FIGURE B.7 – 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 “backlash” 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 is engaged with the spindle
brake pin and the Release Bar and Retaining
Collar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully
engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
