Cable Reel replacement Instructions (ACT) 

 

 

The replacement reel has a coil of excess wire and a clamp on it (Fig 1). Pull the cable out through 

the roller-guides to the boom tip. Measure how much of the excess wire you need to re-connect 

the wires to the junction box for the A-2-B switch and cut off the excess wire. 

Attach the cable clamp and rubber grommet you removed (Fig 2) and connect the wires to the junction box. 

Remove the clamp back and rubber grommet at the cable reel. 

When completed you should have tension on the cable from the reel (Fig 3) in order for the reel to wind up 

properly, if not readjust the cable clamp to tension it more.
