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.Feed one end of the cable through water-tight connector on the main shaft inside the spool and into the slip ring side (see drawing below).

NOTE: This may require that jacket of cable be stripped to allow conductors to pass through shaft.

3.Connect individual conductors to appropriate rings on collector using crimp fitting or similar connection method.

4.Tighten water-tight connector and U-bolt provided on drum wrapper segments. Do not over-tighten.

5.Wind the cable onto the reel spool by hand rotation spool in direction it tuns free of spring tension.
