Cable Reel Installation
The cable reel is set up for use on the left side of the boom but it can be installed on either the left or right side of the
boom. The drawing below shows standard left side boom installation with the cable spooling off the drum from the top.
If you are mounting the cable reel on the right side of the boom the cable will spool off the drum from the bottom. You
will need to change the orientation of the blue transmitter box. Always make sure that the labels on the transmitter box
are right side up and that the connector is at the bottom of the case. If this is not done the Boom Angle will not function
properly.
Installation of Mounting Feet
1. Locate and mark a position on the boom at
least 10‟ back from the tip of the base section.
2.
The mounting feet come already attached to the “Mounting Feet Template”.
3. Using the template as a guide, tack weld the feet to the boom.
4. Remove the template and save the hardware, it will be needed later to finish the installation.
5. Temporarily install the Cable Reel assembly to verify correct positioning of the mounting feet before completing the welds.
6. Remove the Cable Reel Assembly
7. Complete the welds
NOTE:

Do not weld mounting feet with cable reel assembly attached. The cable reel body and transducer have static sensitive components and can be
damaged by close proximity welding.

If you are painting the mounting feet ensure that the threads do not get paint in them.
