1. Slide the Wire Holder Retaining Spring (G20583)
over to the side and remove the Wire Holder
Assembly (G20559BA or G20659A) from the
Stitcher Head.
2. Pass the wire from the Spool over the Wire Guide
Spring Assembly (G20679A, G20279A or
G20286A), between the Tension Pawl (G20283) and
the Tension Pawl Roller (G20285), between the two
(2) Wire Oiler Felts (G20293) and into the Upper
Wire Tube (G20581).
3. Using the yellow-capped Dowel Pin (G20526) in
it, turn the Feed Release Cam (G20519) clockwise so
that the Small Feed Gear (G20512A) on the Feed
Lever (G20532B) is disengaged from the Large Feed
Gear Assembly (G20510A). Use a pair of
pliers to gently pull the wire off the Wire Spool and
guide it through the Upper Wire Tube, between the
Small and Large Feed Gears, into the Middle Wire
Tube Assembly (G20544A). Or place the Adjustment
Handle Assembly (G20628A) over the pins in the
Small Feed Gear and rotate clockwise. Engage the
Gears again by turning the Feed Release Cam.
4. Turn the stitcher machine on and trip it until the
wire emerges from the Lower Wire Tube (G20599A)
in the Cutter Block Assembly (G20597BA). If the
wire does not emerge, turn the Wire Straightener Nut
(G20621) and trip the stitcher until the wire is visible
to the right of the Left Wire Guide Bar (G20541).
Make sure the wire is leaving the Head completely
straight horizontally and that is is not touching either
the Left or Right Wire Guide Bar (G20542) as it
passes. Complete wire straightening instructions can
be found on page 13.
Note: Never operate the Stitcher Head with the
Wire Holder Assembly (G20559BA) in place unless
there is stock above the Clincher Points.
