SPECIAL OPERATIONS
IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE
The motor can be reversed to free the cable if it gets caught in line.
(Note: if using Power Cable Feed, putting motor in reverse will cause
the feed control lever to operate opposite of normal.)
1. Move motor switch to the reverse position.
2. Depress the foot pedal while retracting the cable.
3. After cable is loose, move switch back into forward position.
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN
A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This is almost always caused by using too much pressure when feed-
ing the cable, or by feeding the cable while running the machine in
reverse. To untangle, rotate drum in opposite direction. This will usu-
ally get the cable to lie in the drum properly
If cable has become badly tangled, which will not happen when ma-
chine is used properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out
of the drum and re-
install it. (See “How to Install Cables In Drum”
section.)
HOW TO INSTALL CABLES IN DRUM
1. Connect the male end of cable to
the drum connecting cable al-
ready attached to drum.
2. Remove V-Belt
3. Be sure the cable goes into drum
as shown in the diagram or cable
will tangle in drum.
4. Replace V-Belt after cable is
installed.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
NOTE:
The cable must lay in the drum in the correct direction or it will
tangle in the drum.
