4 INSTALLATION
Brake disc friction should provide enough drag to keep the wire spool from spinning freely
after the wire feed stops.
The brake hub is adjusted when delivered, if adjustment is required, follow the instructions
below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
1. Remove the spool retainer (1) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. To increase the braking torque, use a 1 1/16" (27 mm) wrench and turn the drag
adjusting nut (2) clockwise.
3. To reduce the braking torque, use a 1 1/16" (27 mm) wrench and turn the drag adjusting
nut (2) counterclockwise.

Torch connection
CAUTION!
Make sure the chosen torch has the correct rating for the welding current to be
used, has the correct size and type of liner and has the correct contact tip and
guide tube.
WARNING!
Turn off the power to the welding power source and the wire feeder before
making any connections between the wire feeder and the welding power source.
The torch adaptor on the MobileFeed connects directly to the wire feeder wire drive
assembly, power and shielding gas supply.
1. Line up the torch connector with the wire feeder adaptor and push on firmly.
2. Hand tighten the locking collar on the Euro connector.
