3. Adjust the spring tension by winding or unwinding the welding hoses.
a. To increase spring tension, wind the loose welding hoses around the
drum for one revolution.
b. To decrease spring tension, unwind the spooled welding hoses from
the drum for one revolution.
4. Reinsert the welding hoses through the guide rollers and reinstall the
welding hose bumper at the desired distance.
5. Unlatch the drum and check the spring tension.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 until the desired tension is achieved.
HOSE REPLACEMENT
Replace a welding hose when it leaks or is damaged.
1. Make sure the valves on the pressurized tanks and the welding hose
regulators are closed. The welding hoses should have not gas in it.
2. Remove the bumper and push the hoses through the guide arm opening.
3. Remove the bolts and nuts holding the guide arm to the mounting
bracket. Set the guide arm and hardware aside.
4. Pull the welding hoses out until it reaches the nal latched position.
5. Loosen the hose nut connecting each welding hose to the valve body. Pull
each hose out of the drum wall opening and o the drum. Remove the
protective spring from each hose.
6. Reattach the guide arm. Make sure it is in the same position.
7. Thread the hoses through the guide arm opening and pull several feet of
each welding hose over the drum.
8. Slide a protective spring onto each hose.
9. Clean the valve body threads of all sealant residue. Apply new thread
sealant. Make sure to use an oxygen compatible sealant on the outlet's
threads.
10. Screw a hose nut onto the valve body's threaded outlet. Make sure the
green hose attaches to the oxygen outlet and the red hose attaches to the
acetylene outlet. Tighten both nuts with a wrench.
11. Adjust the protective springs to sit in the drum's side opening to protect
the hoses. Pull the slack welding hoses through the springs.
12. Carefully and slowly release the drum by gently pulling then releasing the
locking ratchet. Then slowly allow the dual hose to retract onto the reel.
