WIRE FEED DRIVE ROLL KITS
NOTE: The maximum rated solid and cored wire
sizes for each wire drive head and selected
drive ratio is shown on the SPECIFICATIONS
in the front of this section.
The electrode sizes that can be fed with each roll and
guide tube are stenciled on each part. Check the kit
for proper components.
Synergic 7F Wire Drives (K679) use 4-Roll drive roll
kits with 2 driven rolls, per Table C.1 in ACCES-
SORIES. These kits are common with those used for
the 4-Roll LN-7 GMA and LN-9 GMA Lincoln Wire
Feeders, but are not common with those used with the
10 Series wire drive units. Installation instructions are
included with the kits.
10 Series Wire Drives use 4-Roll drive roll kits with 4
driven rolls, per Table C.1 in ACCESSORIES.

1) Turn OFF welding power source.
2) Release both quick release levers by sliding the
levers sideways into the open positions.
3) Remove clamping screw & clamping collar from
the drive shaft closest to the incoming side of the
feeder.
4) Install drive roll onto keyed shaft. (Do not exceed
the maximum wire size rating of the wire drive.)
Replace collar and tighten clamping screw.
5) Back out the set screw for the middle guide tube.
Install the middle guide tube and slide it up against
the drive roll. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE MIDDLE
GUIDE AT THIS TIME.

Be certain that the proper plastic insert is used.
Fine wire chisel point tube must have largest
radius next to drive roll. Tighten in place.
