Lubrication – Reel Shaft Bearings
Lubricate every 10 hours of operation (or daily) with
multi-purpose lithium base type grease. Lubricate
the grease fitting at each end of the reel shaft, and
also at the center on double reel models.
Annually, remove and examine the polymer liners in
the control plate tubes. Replace if worn.
Initial lubrication of the plastic bat
bearings (HCC Reels only) with a
light film of oil will improve the break-
in and service life of the bearings.
Control Rings (U-II Reels only)
The control ring assemblies each have three rollers mounted in adjusting slots. To
compensate for wear to the control ring, the rollers may be adjusted outward in the slots so
that all three rollers are lightly in contact with the control ring.
All three rollers at each end of the reel must be moved the same amount
relative to each other, so that all three roller bolts are in the same position in
the slot. Do not move only one roller.
