few

 methods on how to safely unreel tow cables are provided in this 

appendix. In addition, how cable kinking can occur is identified along 
with what can result from this condition. 

B.1 Unreeling Tow Cable

The reel should be revolved and the rope taken off the way it was put on the reel as 
shown in Figure B-1 for two effective methods. Place a shaft through the reel 
center and jack it up so that the reel revolves freely. Pull the cable straight ahead, 
keeping it taut, to prevent the cable from becoming loose on the reel. A board held 
against a flange may be used as a brake to prevent the reel from revolving too fast.
