to the reel size.

STEP 2
Insert the axle through one axle support on the first leg, the reel and the other axle support on the other leg. Secure the axle to one axle
support by inserting a clevis pin through the holes in the support and the axle. Bring the leg on the other side of the reel as close to the reel
as possible, and then secure in place with the clevis pin, by inserting through the hole in the axle support, and the closest hole available in the
axle. With the reel installed and clevis pins in place, push both handles down until they touch the ground.
Do not put any part of your body below the handle as it comes down, as it could be crushed by the weight of the reel.
