Lubrication Maintenance
Caution: Do not over oil these points.
• Head Bearing Assembly - The roller bearing, located in the
front assembly, requires monthly lubrication. Use a grease
gun to lubricate the zerk fitting with multipurpose grease. A
lithium-based grease is recommended.
• Reel Shaft and Reel Bearings - The reel shaft requires monthly
lubrication. Use a multipurpose grease or heavy oil. Keeping
the shaft lubricated means the reel will slide freely and will not
‘freeze’ to the shaft and need to be repaired. The reel bearings
require some light oil monthly.
• Wheels - A light oil on the axle every month keeps the wheels
rolling freely instead of ‘freezing’ to the axle.
Reel Attachment
The reel you select is set in place and slipped onto the reel shaft.
Drive lugs are mounted on the drive plate and slip through the
opening in the back of the reel. The reel is held in place by the
revolving arm.
Cable Care Instructions
Take care of your cable for optimum performance. The
recommended care procedure is as follows:
• Break in a new cable. To relieve the stress on new cable that
has been coiled since its manufacture, put it in a clean line and
run it for 10 minutes.
• Oil the cable once a week.
• Rinse the cable immediately after each use with the hottest
water available. This is especially important if the cable was in
acid or alkali during use.
• When one end of the cable begins to show wear, rewind and
use the opposite end. (Tip: order the same kind of end fittings
on both ends of the cable.)
• If the cable kinks, cut out the kink and splice the cable ends
together.
