1) Emergency Parking Brake
This two-position control is used to stop the reel
in an emergency situation and for holding the
reel when necessary. The brake must be released
or “off” for the reel to operate. The brake is spring
applied and hydraulic pressure released. The
brake engages automatically when hydraulic
pressure is lost. Parking brake should be applied
when operations have stopped.
Emergency brake does not function when drive
clutch is disengaged (each reel has a drive clutch).
2) Glow Lamp
This lamp indicates the preheat level of the glow
plugs.
3) Drive System Pressure Gauge
This 0 to 3000 PSI variable control gauge indi-
cates the existing hydraulic system pressure set-
ting.
4) System Pressure Control (Decrease/Increase
This variable-position control increases and
decreases the hydraulic motor torque. This con-
trol determines how much tension is on the line.
Clockwise rotation increases hydraulic pressure.
Counter-clockwise rotation decreases pressure.
Always leave pressure control knob approxi-
mately three inches counter-clockwise (left) from
panel when the machine is not in use.
