4. How to use the Included Brake Kit RCB1:
Instructions on how to use Brake Kit RCB1:
A. The ReelCaddy Series comes standard with a “at” plastic spacer.
Keep this at spacer at the bottom of the spool rod.
B. Load cable reel onto ReelCaddy.
(Follow steps on page 3 for proper loading technique).
C. In upright position and with T-handle o󰀨, slide the Brake and plastic spacer
(RCB1 Brake Kit) over spool rod. The brake’s piston needs to be facing
downward towards reel, and the spacer needs to sit in between the brake and
ange of cable reel. The RCB1 brake set is now positioned on top of the cable
reel ange.
D. Loosen the brake knob.Push brake against the plastic spacer, which is against
the cable reel, and apply pressure so that the brake’s piston is
slightly depressed (applying friction toward the cable reel ange).
E. Tighten brake to spool rod by tightening both hex bolts. (Use 1/2” wrench)
F. Attach the T-handle and put the ReelCaddy in dispensing position.
G. Finger- tighten the “brake knob” to set friction against the cable reel.
The more you tighten the brake knob (clockwise), the more friction it provides
against the cable reel.
H. Now, you are ready to dispense the wire.

A. With the T-handle o󰀨, insert the spool rod into base and
nger tighten the spool rod clockwise to get it started. Slip
at plastic spacer over spool rod.
3. How to load/unload a cable reel using proper technique
A. Detach the T-handle by removing the ball
pin from the ReelCaddy
B. Lift cable reel on its side so that the inner hole
of the reel is o󰀨 the ground
Note:
ReelCaddy accomodates reels up to 23” diameter,
up to 30” in height
C. At ground level with wheels in an upright
position, slide the spool rod through the cable
reel’s I.D. (inner diameter) as far as you can
so that the cable reel is at the bottom of the
spool rod towards the base of the unit.
(The at plastic washer needs to be between
base and bottom of cable reel)
D. With the cable reel at the base of the unit, use
the spool rod as a lever to lift up the cable reel in
an upright position. This technique helps prevent
the operator fromdoing all of the heavy lifting while
loading.
(*If using optional brake, please refer to section 4)
E. Attach the T-handle and secure it with the ball pin.
F. You are ready to start using the ReelCaddy
G. To unload a cable reel, reverse the procedure:
remove T-handle (and optional brake), drop into
dispensing position, and slide the spool rod away
from the cable reel.

2. How to assemble the ReelCaddy
B. Slide the T-handle over the spool rod and insert the
ball pin through the handle to secure it in place.
D. The T-handle is now in the
correct position; on the same
side as the foot grip pad.
C. Use the T-handle as a “wrench” to tighten
the spool rod to the base of the unit. (There
may be extra “thread” showing on spool rod, which
is okay). Once tightened, the T-handle must be on
the same side as the footpad. If it’s not and
you cannot turn the spool rod any further,
simply remove the ball pin, turn the T-handle
180 degrees, and insert ball pin.
