Failure to relieve all spring tension prior to removing cable could result in damage to equipment or personal injury. Follow instructions carefully.

☞8. Install new cable following directions below.

CABLE INSTALLATION

Use the following procedure to replace cable or if reel was ordered without cable. Refer to CABLE INSTALLATION REFERENCE DRAWING, below.

☞1. Unspool new cable from shipping spool and lay out to eliminate twist.

NOTE: This step is not essential, but will aid in winding operation of the reel and prolong cable life.

☞2. Remove slip ring cover.

☞3. Loosen counter nut on cable connector (nut is inside slip ring housing).

☞4. Feed one end of the cable through cable connector in spool and into the slip ring side. (See drawing below).

☞5. Connect individual conductors to appropriate collector brushes on slip ring assembly using crimp fitting

or similar connection method.

☞5. Tighten cable connector in spool. Do not over-tighten.

☞6. Wind the cable onto the reel spool by hand rotating spool in direction it turns free of spring tension. (Normally counter-clockwise when viewed from junction box side)

☞7. Replace slip ring cover and gasket.

☞8. Complete working end connections. Adjust cable stop.

☞9. Pretension reel and complete installation as

described in INSTALLATION section.

SPRING ADJUSTMENT

Adjust tension by adding wraps (increasing tension) or removing wraps (decreasing tension) from the spool.

WARNING

If machine pull reel, move machinery to position closest to reel before adjusting spring tension. Adjusting tension with cable extended may result in damage to reel or personal injury.

1.Pull about 10” of cable, allowing spool to rotate.

INCREASE TENSION: Without allowing spool to rotate, hand feed cable through hose guide until loop is large enough to slip onto spool. Add two or three wraps until desired tension is achieved. See Figure 3.

DECREASE TENSION: Without allowing spool to rotate, hand

feed cable back trhough guide to provide slack. Remove one or two wraps from spool. See Figure 4.

2. Test reel operation.
