I. INTRODUCTION
This enclosure kit is an optional accessory which can
be used to cover 12-inch spools of welding wire where
operating conditions require cleanliness of wire from
dust, grease, etc. and shock protection from accidental contact with the wire spool. The kit is designed
for use on all wire feeding equipment that utilizes
"high strength" spindle assembly, P/N 948259. In
order to use this kit with equipment equipped with
other spindle designs, you must order a new spindle
(P/N 948259) as an accessory to this kit.

B. To assemble the kit to the wire feeding equip-
ment, refer to Installation Illustration and do the
following:
1. Detach the spindle assembly removing the
four (4) screws that secure it to wire feeder
frame (these screws may be discarded).
2. Carefully disassemble the spindle assembly by removing the existing brake adjusting
screw located in the center of the spindle
hub. Several parts, e.g., spring, brake pad
or washer will become loose and may drop
out--please note their location(s) for reassembly in step 3.
3. Reassemble the spindle assembly using the
new adjusting screw, provided in the kit, in
place of the old screw removed in step 2.
Make sure that all "loose" components for
braking requirements are correctly replaced
when securing the adjusting screw.
4. Remount the modified spindle assembly, the
spindle spacer and the base plate to the wire
feeder frame using the new hardware (4
each - 5/16-in. screws, lockwasher and nuts)
supplied.
5. Install wire spool as described in your equipment manual.
6. Install the plastic dust cover . The cross-pin
on the adjusting screw fits through the keyway of the dust cover knob. Depress the
spring-loaded knob, turn 90 degrees, and
then release knob so that cross-pin rests in
the shallow recess of knob to lock dust cover
in place. The large slot in the plastic shroud
of the dust cover should be positioned to allow a minimum of interference when drawing wire off the spool.
7. To adjust the spindle brake, simply turn the
dust cover knob to loosen or tighten the
breaking action applied to the wire spool
spindle.
Be sure this information reaches the operator.
