1. Slide the Wire Holder Retaining Spring
(G20183) over to the side and remove the Wire
Holder Assembly (G20559BA or G20301A) from
the Stitcher Head.
2. Pass the wire from the Spool over the Wire
Guide Spring Assembly (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 (G20181).
3. Turn the Feed Release Handle (G20119) clock-
wise so that the Small Feed Gear (G20112) on the
Feed Lever (G20132) is disengaged from the Large
Feed Gear Assembly (G20110A). 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 (G20144A). Turn the Feed Release
Handle horizontally so that the Small and Large
Feed Gears are engaged.
4. Turn the stitcher machine on and trip it until the
wire emerges from the Lower Wire Tube (G20199A)
in the Cutter Block Assembly (G20197A). If the
wire does not emerge, turn the Wire Straightener
Eccentric (G20206) and trip the stitcher until the
wire is visible to the right of the Left Wire Guide Bar
(G20141). 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
(G20142) as it passes. Complete wire straightening
instructions can be found on page 14.
Note: Never operate the Stitcher Head with the
Wire Holder Assembly (G20559BA) in place
unless there is stock above the Clincher Points.
