Keep encapsulated inline transformer box closed during operation. It is not necessary to access the internals unless during 
maintenance or repair. Maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician outside the hazardous area. 

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS 

 

Exercise care when handling the cable reel during normal operation. This cable has a rotating spool powered 
by springs under tension. 

 

DO NOT 

disassemble the spring motor for any reason. Serious personal injury could result. This cable reel is 

equipped with springs under tension. Contact the factory for assistance. Toll Free: 1-800-369-6671 

CORD REEL MAINTENANCE WARNINGS 

 

Mounting hardware and fasteners should be installed to maintain tightness under vibration and checked 

periodically to assure tightness. 

 

Overhead installation mountings should be such that the reel is not suspended by bolts in tension. A safety 
chain or cable is strongly recommended to minimize damage and/or possible injury in the event of mounting 
failure. 

 

WARNING:

 Modifications of this equipment may cause excessive wear and will void the warranty. Contact 

the manufacturer regarding changes or modifications of equipment which could affect reliability or safety. 

 

Stretch Applications 

The cable is suspended without any intermediate support. Stretch reels generally 
require a line pull equal to two times the weight of the cable, which allows 
approximately 10% sag at full extension. On long applications where sag cannot 
be tolerated, it is sometimes desirable to put supports at intervals of 5 to 10 feet. 
 

 

 

Drag Applications 

The reel is mounted on a stationary object and is required to drag the cable over 
the surface to the reel. The cable is supported by the ground or some type of 
cable tray. 
 
 

 
 
 
Lift Applications 

The cable is lifted vertically in lift applications. The reel is normally designed to 
handle only the total weight of the cable. Some lift applications may require a ball 
stop and ratchet to control the length of cable to be retracted. 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Retrieve Applications 

The reel is mounted on the moving object and winds up or pays out the cable as 
the machine approaches or moves away from the fixed end. Retrieve 
applications can be elevated up to 4 feet from the cable support surface.
