a. Open the door to the welder drive compartment.
b. Remove the drive tension by loosening the Drive Tension Adjuster (1) and moving the
Drive Tension Adjustor away from the Drive Tension Arm (2). Lift the Drive Tension
Arm away from the Drive Roller (3).
c. If there is wire already installed in the welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by hand-
turning the spool clockwise. Be careful not to let all the wire come out of the rear end
of the inlet guide tube. Hold onto it or the wire spool will unspool itself. Put the end of
the wire into the hole on the outside edge of the wire spool and bend it over to hold
the wire in place. Remove the spool of wire from the drive compartment of the welder.
d. Remove the drive roller by turning the drive roll knob (3) counter-clockwise. Carefully
slide the drive roll assembly off of the drive shaft. This drive roll assembly consists of
three pieces. The outer drive roll, inner drive roll, and a key. Be careful not to
misplace the key.
e. Based on the wire diameter, select the correct groove. When installing the drive roller,
the number stamped on the drive roller for the wire size you are using should be
facing you. Push the Drive Roller onto the Drive Roller Shaft.
f. Reinstall the Drive Roller knob and tighten clockwise.
g. Close the door to the welder drive compartment.
5. INSTALL THE WIRE - We recommend the usage of .023 and .030 MIG wire, or .030 and .035
flux core wire, on this unit.
a. Select welding wire - Both four-inch or eight-inch wire spools of .023, .030, or .035
wire can be used on this welder.
NOTE: Burn-through can occur if you attempt to weld mild or stainless steel thinner
than 24 gauge.
NOTE: Remove all rusted wire from your wire spool. If the whole spool is rusty,
discard it.
b. Installing the wire.
