Installing wire feeder with mounting plate

This section describes the installation of X3 wire feeder on top of the power source with the mounting plate. The mounting plate allows the wire feeder to turn.

Tools needed:

 

1. Install the wire feeder mounting plate on the power source. Ensure that the positioning lines in the mounting plate and on the power source align.

2. Inside the wire feeder, remove the aperture cover plug and place it into the holder on the side.

3. Lift the wire feeder on top of the power source, on the mounting plate. Ensure that the mounting interface aligns properly and that the shaft goes fully through the aperture in the wire feeder.

The wire feeder must be secured to the mounting plate shaft to ensure safe operation.
4. Open the wire feed cabinet and install the linchpin through the holes in the mounting plate shaft.

When the wire feeder is removed from the mounting plate and taken into use elsewhere, the aperture cover plug must be put back in place.
