3.13 Installing 12.5 lb Spool ( 8" diameter)

In order to fit a 12.5 lb spool (8" diameter) assemble parts in the sequence shown in Figure 3-9.
Installation of wire spool:
1. Remove Wire Spool Hub Retaining Clip. Grasp the loop and pull.
2. Place Wire Spool onto the hub, loading it so that the wire will feed off the bottom of the spool as the spool
rotates counter clockwise. Make sure to align the spool alignment pin on the hub with the mating hole in the
wire spool.
3. Replace the Wire Spool Hub Retaining Clip in the set of holes closest to the spool.
The Hub tension has been pre-adjusted at the factory. However if adjustment is required, refer to section 3.16
Use care in handling the spooled wire as it will tend to "unravel" when loosened from the spool. Grasp the
end of the wire firmly and don't let go of it.
