Wire Spool Installation - Chicago Electric MIG 170 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Wire Spool Installation

1. Turn the welder OFF and unplug
it before proceeding.
2. Pull up on the door latch,
then open the Door.
3. Remove the Spool Knob, Spool Spring, and upper
Spool Plate. If replacing a Spool, remove the old
Spool and all remaining wire from the liners.
4. Place the new Wire Spool over the Spool Spindle
and on top of the lower Spool Plate as illustrated.
To prevent wire feed problems, set the
Spool so that it will unwind clockwise.
5. Secure Spool in place with the upper Spool Plate
(narrower end against the Spool),
then the Spool Spring and Spool Knob.
