WARNING
If the push cable is not secured inside the
drum, the push cable can unwind itself if the
drum is removed from the case or if the case
is left open with the drum inside. If the push
cable unwinds, do not manually twist or force
the push cable back into the non-rotating
drum. The inevitable twisting and bending of the push cable
that results from forcing it into the drum without the use of
the outer case to rotate it will damage the push cable.
If the push cable has unwound from the drum, place the
drum back into the case before reinserting the push cable
(See Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Drum properly seated in casing
If space permits and if the entire drum has unspooled, uncoil
and straighten the push cable on the ground (See Figure 2).
When the push cable is not housed in the drum, the push
cable can be easily bent, kinked, and damaged. Straighten-
ing and laying the push cable out before rewinding it back
into the drum can prevent further damage.
Figure 2 – Straightening the push cable
If the push cable cannot be laid out straight, use extreme
care when rewinding the push cable. Ensure the push cable
does not bend or get caught under or on objects. If the push
cable becomes twisted or bent, stop rewinding and untwist
it before continuing.

After seating the drum into the case, use both hands to
guide the push cable into the drum (See Figure 3). Ensure
the drum rotates in the case as the push cable rewinds.
Figure 3 – Rotate drum to properly wind the push
cable
To avoid damaging the push cable, keep one hand close to
the drum when rewinding the push cable to ensure that the
drum rotates freely (See Figure 4).
Figure 4 – Guiding the push cable into the drum
After rewinding the push cable back into the drum, gently
thread the camera head through the push cable guide. To
avoid bending and breaking the push cable when replacing
the camera head, only pull up on the portion of the cable
that contains the spring (See Figure 5).
