Drive Features & Power
Requirements
•
The reel can be run off an 115VAC, 15 Amp circuit.
•
Reel power and directional control is handled through two toggle switches. One controls Power -

The reel motor is a permanent magnet, direct-current, high-torque, 1HP motor capable of variable
speed operation. The reel operates between 5 RPM and 15 RPM. This is adjusted by the MOTOR
SPEED control dial.
