Tweco 2460 Heavy Duty CC CV Control Wire Feeder - Manual (Page 45)

INSTRUCTION SHEET - Installation of
Wire “Reel” or “Spool” on the Support
The wire feeder will be shipped from the factory
with a wire spool kit 870058 and a wire reel/spool
support assembly 870060-X. An “optional” wire reel
kit 870059 is also available.
WARNING: Mount spool with
hub nut angled upward (see Fig-
ure 1). Hub nut may detach caus-
ing personal injury from falling
wire coil spool if improperly
mounted.
1. To install the Wire Reel/Spool Support Assem-
bly (870060-X) onto the Baseplate:
a. Use the four 1/4-20 x 7/8" screws, the four
hex keps nuts, and the two flat washers to fasten
the support (1) to the wire feeder base.
2. To install the Wire Spool Kit (870058):
a. Mount the shaft (6) in the lower hole (if using
a 30-45 lb. spool) or in the upper hole (if using a 60
lb. spool) of the support (1). Make sure the 1/2-13
hex nut (2) is securely tightened on the shaft (6).
See Figure 2.
b. Mount the Wire Spool Hub (13) on the Shaft (6).
c. Install the spool tension spacer, compression
spring, spacer, and the hub tension screw.
d. Place a wire spool on the hub (13). Align the
positioning pin on the hub with the hole in the wire
spool so that the wire feeds from the bottom of the
coil. See Figure 3.
e. Install the wire spool hub nut (17) and tighten
until the spring ball plunger falls into the dimple on
the wire spool hub.
f. Adjust the compression spring tension by use
of the hub tension screw until the proper reel drag
is achieved.
