property damage if proper precautions are
not taken.
CAUTION

2 Installation
2.1 Swivel Mounting
Hang the takeup reel directly over the work area by the
swivel fork provided at the top of takeup reel. Support for the
takeup reel must conform to the guidelines indicated by the
adjacent diagram and must be strong enough to support the
takeup reel and any devices supported by the takeup reel.
The support component must allow the swivel fork to pivot
30° from vertical axis, perpendicular to clevis pin axis. In use,
the takeup reel must not be pulled sideways more than 30°
or exceed the free pla y between the support component
and swivel fork. To complete takeup reel mounting, install
clevis pin through swivel fork and support component. Install
flat washer and new cotter pin (in plastic bag) onto clevis pin
(see diagram).
2.2 Secondary Support:
WARNING
Always use a secondary cable to protect
personnel in case of mounting components
or support structure failure.
Attach one end of secondary support chain or cable to
secondary support attaching point on takeup reel. Attach the
other end of secondary chain or cable to a support
component other than that which supports the takeup reel.
The chain or cable should be as short as possible allowing
the takeup reel to drop no more than 6 inches if the primary
connection is released.

WARNING
Never pull the tool clip down to the tool.
Always lift the tool up to the tool clip. If the
tool clip is released when extended without a
tool attached, it could snap back and cause
damage or injury.

3 Operation
3.1 Tool Positioning
Attach tool complete with hose or cable and fittings. To
adjust length of overhang, remove all tension and position
hook at desired height. Loosen cable stop, slide cable stop
upward to cable guide and tighten. Lengthening overhang of
cable will reduce active travel distance. An extension cable
can be used to extend the overhang without reducing the
active travel.
3.2 Spring Tension Adjustment
Attach load before adjusting tension. If the tool attached to
the takeup reel cable descends freely, there is not enough
takeup reel mainspring tension Turn the tension knob
clockwise to increase tension. Ensure the knob ratchet
engages with housing before releasing knob. If the cable
stop is tight against the cable guide, there is too much
tension on the takeup reel mainspring. To decrease tension
pull tension knob out and turn counterclockwise ensuring
teeth engagement before releasing knob.
CAUTION
Failure to hold knob firmly when detensioning
could result in rapid rotation of knob and
damage to internal components.
After adjusting tension, extend cable to full stroke. If full
stroke is not achieved (after allowing for overhang
adjustments), tension must be relieved. If proper tension and
extension cannot be achieved, consult the factory.
WARNING
Do not disassemble this unit. Opening this
unit could result in property damage, serious
injury or death. For service, consult factory.
