4.2 Safety regulations
• Never walk under a raised load!
• Never stand between the gripping arms!
• Before lowering the reel carriage, make certain that no foreign
elements can hinder the free lowering of the reel carriage
• The Reel Rotator is designed for use on an even
and level oor
• During transport the reel carriage shall be raised as little as possible
• Transport with raised reel carriage should be made over the shortest
possible distances and at low speed
• Check that the chains lift equally. They shall be equally tight when the reel
carriage is loaded
• Chains and chain bolts must not be damaged. Chains that have become
permanently stretched (max. 2 % of original length) must be scrapped.

The Reel Rotator is designed for use on even and level oor. During transport the
reel carriage shall be raised as little as possible. Transport with raised reel carriage
should be made over the shortest possible distances and at low speed.
4.4 Rotation with load
4.5 Emergency braking and Emergency stop
When rotating reels, the operator needs a full
overview of the whole working area, so that the
rotation movement can be stopped before the
reel touches the oor, the items or persons in the
working area.
4.0 Optimum safety
NOTE! Rotation is only allowed to take place, if the Reel Rotater is placed on an
equal oor.
The Reel Rotator has an emergency stop. When activating the
emergency stop, the main current supply is switched off.
The movement of the reel carriage stops immediately when
activating the emergency stop.

5.0 There must be a current supply...
5.1 Fuses - replacement
There are five fuses in the electrical circuit:
100 Amp fuse in the main supply from battery
10 Amp fuse in the control current circuit
20 Amp fuse (plug for extra equipment on the instrument board)
20 Amp fuse for built-in charger
40 Amp fuse for rotation
Replacement:
The old fuse is to be removed and replaced by a new one of the same size.
Find out why the fuses blow!
Many operational disturbances are caused by bad
connections in the elctrical circuit. Make sure that the
connections are in order.
Check connections regularly for damage at insulating caps or
bad connections at plugs etc. Verdigris must be removed from
cable plugs. Keep all screw/nut connections tight.
5.2 Wirring connections

Regular inspection and the replacement of worn or defective parts in good time will
prolong the life of the Reel Rotator. “Prevention is better than repair”, therefore ensure:
• That the battery is fully charged every time
• Correct usage
• Regular cleaning
• Periodic safety and service inspection
• For safety reasons please check the below every 3 month:
- Tighten loose screw and nuts
- Check that there are no cracks, fractures and deformations in
the bearing construction
- Wearing parts, such as brakes, wheels and bearings, are adjusted and
exchanged continuously
6.1 Lubrication and hydraulic oil
Under normal operation conditions the Reel Rotator requires no
lubrication. All ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life, and
moving parts have self-lubricating bearings or are treated with grease.
The hydraulic system is lled with hydraulic oil of viscosity class
ISO VG 15. An additive is added to the oil. The concentrate reduces friction and wear
and protects against corrosion. Pre-mixed hydraulic oil with additive is available from
the dealer. The oil is suitable for use in the temperature range -10 to +50° C. A thinner
oil is recommended for temperatures lower than -10° C (if necessary, contact your
dealer).
6.2 Oil change
Draining the oil:
1. Bring the unloaded reel carriage down to the lowest position.
2. Most of the oil can be drained by loosening the hydraulic hose union and briey
activating the hydraulic pump with the switch.
3. The remaining oil can be drained from the oil tank by removing the tank.
Oil lling:
4. Fill oil through the lling hole on the tank.
5. Oil quantity: ELFRRM 1750 & ELFSRRM 1750 approx 3 liter
ELFRRE 1750 & ELFSRRE 1750 approx 3 liter
6. Ret the lling cap and bleed the system (6.6).

6.3 Reel carriage adjustment
Two of the rollers on the reel carriage are
mounted on eccentric pins, so that they can be
adjusted. The adjustable rollers are at the top.
1. Loosen screw (pos. 91) (key width 5 mm).
2. Eccentric pins (pos. 56) (key width 8 mm)
can now be turned to give the necessary
reel carriage adjustment.
3. Adjustment must be made on both sides
to ensure uniform loading of the rollers.
6.4 Adjustment of lifting chain
The chains shall be adjusted so that
• they lift equally
• they are equally tight
• The lifting movement has to stop in the cylinder,
before the mast rolls touch the top stop.
The nuts (pos. 18) are to be adjusted
(nut M12, key width 19 mm).

6.5 Adjustment of steering wheel
chains
- Set the handle in its middle position.
- Adjust the nuts (1, 2, 3 and 4) and bring
the wheels into parallel.
6.6 The hydraulic pump and the gear motor
The hydraulic pump has a S3 “periodic intermittent duty” of 10%. This means that
the pump in total is allowed to operate 1 minute for a period of 10 minutes.
Note! If the pump operates more than 10%, the motor will be damaged due to
superheating.
Bleeding the hydraulic system
With a load of 50-100 kg, the reel carriage must be raised and lowered to top and
bottom position 2-3 times.
Gear motor of the Reel Rotator
The gear motor has a ”short time under constant load” of 10 minutes
(S2=10 minutes). This means that the motor is allowed to operate with the
maximum load for 10 minutes. Hereafter it has to be cooled down to normal
temperature.
Note! The motor will be damaged by superheating, if it operates for a longer time
or if it is not cooled down.
6.7 Cleaning
When cleaning the Reel Rotator, do not direct the jet onto bearings
and seals. Otherwise the grease will be washed out and the life of the
equipment shortened.
Cleaning of the plastic screen (polycarbonate)
The screen is to be washed with slightly warm water added a neutral cleaning
material, and afterwards washed with clean water.
Use a soft sponge, a woollen cloth or a wash leather.
Never use sharp objects or
solvent cleaners when cleaning.
