MOUNTING
The fixed base of the reel allows mounting in several different positions
including base up, base down, or wall mounted. Here are general mounting
requirements:
•
Main-shaft must be horizontal.
•
Centerline of the spool assembly must be on line with the cable run.
•
When mounted overhead in base up position, add a secondary chain,
bracket or other safety device to prevent reel from falling in case the
mounting bolts are removed or become loosened from vibration.
SECONDARY SUPPORT CHAIN
DANGER:
A secondary safety cable or chain is to be attached to all reels mounted overhead to prevent
reel from falling. Immediate hazards WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
All reels mounted over head should have a secondary support chain to protect personnel in case of
structure or mounting component failure. Attach one end of secondary support chain or cable to
secondary support point on reel. Attach other end of secondary support chain or cable to a support
component other than that which supports the reel. The chain or cable should be as short as possible
allowing reel to drop no more than 6 to 12 inches if the primary connection is released. A secondary
support is offered as an accessory item.
