INSTALLATION

LIFTING HANDLE

The Power Feed 11 is shipped with a insulated Lifting
Handle which can be mounted on the top or back of
the Wire Feeder. This handle is intended to be primar-
ily used for short term carrying of the Feeder. While
this handle is suitable for hanging the Feeder it is rec-
ommended that the Lifting Eyes also always be used
when hanging the Feeder. The procedure to mount
the Lifting Handle is as follows:
1) Turn Off the Welding Power Source
2) Open the Wire Drive Compartment Door and
remove the wire reel if present.
3) Using the appropriate socket and wrench(1/2")
remove the 2 screws and nuts from either the mid-
dle top or middle rear of the Feeder. The screws
are black in color and about 6.5" apart.
4) Using the hardware provided with the handle
secure the handle in the desired position.
Note: If it is desired to have handles in both the top
and back locations, an additional handle can be
ordered. ( Part Number S24131)
