OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling the Cable out. A "clicking" noise will be
heard every half rotation (180° angle) on the drum. The ratchet stopper will be engaged.
At this moment, the Cable will not be rewound and it will be stopped.
2 When the user wants to rewind the Cable, pull the Cable slowly. When the "clicking noise"
occurs, unhand the Cable slowly then the Cable will be rewound.
3 If user releases the Cable suddenly, the Cable will rewind suddenly and may cause the cable
to suddenly whip. This whipping action may cause the cable to damage property or cause injury.
4 If the user disassembles the stopper when the reel is tensioned, a backlash occurs.
The backlash will damage the spring.
5 Frequently inspect the Cable for damage and wear, and replace or repair as required.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
• Exercise care when handling the cable reel during normal operation. Cable reels have a rotating
drum powered by a spring under tension.
• Do not use cable different from that for which the reel is intended.
Changes in diameter, weight per foot, length of cable or flexibility (Minimum Bend Radius)
will affect the operation of the reel.
• Mounting hardware and fasteners should be installed to maintain tightness under vibration
and checked periodically to ensure tightness.
• Overhead installation mountings should be such that the reel is not supported by bolts in tension.
A safety chain, cable, enclosure or netting is strongly recommended to minimize damage
and/or possible injury in the event of a mounting failure.
