1. CHECK SPRING TYPE
The spring type is indicated by the first letter at the
end of the numeric part of the model number on the
metal nameplate (Figure 2). It is also stamped on the
mounting ear of the spring housing on most models.
The maximum number of usable turns for each spring,
and torque generated, is shown below (Figure 1).
2. ATTACH HOSE OR CABLE
Notes: Be sure spring tension is relaxed before starting.
Add a piece of tape to the disc edge where the hose/cable
connection is made.
Hose:
Attach hose assembly to the reel outlet. If you have
a 900 series spring reel, the outlet riser can be temporarily
unbolted from the hub to aid in attaching the hose.
Cable:
Feed the cable through the drum and hub with the
aid of the pull wire supplied. Then connect the cable to the
color coded slip ring wires. On some models, you will need
to remove the collector cover to expose the collector rings.
Caution:
Always use a cable clamp connected to the drum
in order to keep pressure off the wire connections.
3.1 WIND HOSE OR CABLE TO REEL
Wind all of the hose or cable onto the reel by rotating the
disc in the direction that does not add tension or torque
to the spring motor. If you feel torque or resistance during
this operation,then stop, you are winding in the wrong
direction (Figure 3).
Keep track of the number of turns
required to store the length of hose or cable being
installed. (Using the tape added to the disc.)
Now refer to Figure 1 to find the total number of available
turns for the reel’s spring motor. Subtract the number of
turns needed to store all of the hose or cable onto the reel
from the total number of available turns. This is your number
of pre-tension turns, and will be used in the next step.
