Pipeline Inspection Reel
1. Position the reel on a flat surface approximately three to six feet or one to two meters
from the entry point. This will provide enough space to work with the push cable
without a lot of slack dragging on the ground. Use the friction brake to slow down the
movement of the push cable drum if needed.
Using the reel in a horizontal position makes the width between the feet greater. This
will give the reel more stability if on uneven surfaces and will lower the height when in
confined spaces.
2. Unlock the spring then loosen the friction brake so that the push cable drum can spin.
3. The push cable is now ready to be deployed into the pipe.
4.6 Push Cable
Check Push Cable for Wear - Visually inspect the push cable for cuts, kinks, and
abrasions as it is retrieved back into the cable cage. If the jacket is cut or worn to the
point that the yellow or white Kevlar braid can be seen, then it is time to replace the push
cable. Using the push cable with open cuts will result in water and moisture entering the
push cable and eventually traveling through it, causing a degraded camera image, or total
image failure.
The push cable sections shown below are examples of badly worn jackets. Push cable
such as this should be replaced as soon as possible.
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage, never
immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside
them. Always remove battery pack before cleaning.
Keep the Push cable and Termination Spring Assembly dry and clean – When retrieving
the push cable keep a clean, dry rag in one hand and wipe down the push cable as it
moves through it. At the end of the day, use low-pressure water to rinse off the camera
head and rinse away accumulated dirt and debris that may be caught in the spring. Shake
dry or use low-pressure air to blow the excess water away and dry off the parts. The
Camera Head, Push Cable and Termination Parts are exposed to very harsh chemicals in
day-to-day use. Keeping a clean system will help prolong the life of these parts.
Maintain proper control of the push cable – Attempting to pull the push cable out of
the reel while the reel is locked will result in the push cable collapsing in the reel and
stressing the push cable. Pushing the push cable back into the reel while it is locked may
cause the reel to tip over or kink the cable.
