CHANGING THE WIRE DRIVE RATIO
WARNING
• Turn off power to the power source at the dis-
connect switch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing the ratio requires a gear change and a PC
board switch change. The Power Feed Wire Feeders
are shipped with both high speed and a low speed
gears. As shipped from the factory, the low speed
(high torque) gear is installed on the feeder. For iden-
tification purposes, the low speed (high torque) gear
has 20 teeth and is 1.1 inches in diameter. The high
speed gear has 30 teeth and is 1.6 inches in diameter.
1. Pull open the Pressure Door.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the screw on the lower
right face of the feed plate with a 1/4" Allen wrench.
3. Remove the screw on the left face of the feed plate
with a 1/4" allen wrench.
4. Remove the small gear from the output shaft.
Lightly cover the output shaft with engine oil or
equivalent. Install gear onto output shaft and secure
with flat washer, lock washer, and Phillips head
screw which were previously removed. Tighten 16
to 21 inch lbs..
5. If changing from high speed (larger gear) to low
speed (smaller gear), line the upper hole on the left
face of the feed plate with the threads on the
adapter extension. Line the lower hole with the
threads to install larger gear for high speed feeder.
If feed plate does not rotate to allow holes to line
up, further loosen the screw on right face of feed
plate. Tighten the screw on the left side of the Feed
plate to 6 to 8 ft. lbs. with a 1/4" allen wrench.
6. Tighten the screw on lower right face of feed plate
tighten 6 to 8 ft. lbs. with a 1/4" allen wrench.
Set the High/Low switch code on Wire Drive PC board
which is located on the Power Wave 455/R and
Power Wave 655/R. Consult the Instruction Manual
for proper power source settings.
