DANGER!
Danger of injury from pretensioned drive springs!
If the spring tension is released suddenly, the reel can turn at high speed in an uncontrolled
manner. This can cause impacts, crushing, shearing and other severe injuries.
→
Secure the cable against unwinding while pretensioning
→
Always avoid sudden release of the spring tension
→
Tie the free end of the cable to the reel.
→
Move the mobile attachment point to its closest distance.
→
Pretension the reel with n
v
turns (see the type plate) in the take-off direction, and hold it fast.
→
Release the end of the mobile cable and manually unwind enough cable to reach the attachment point.
Do not turn the reel, but rather unwind the cable from the reel!
→
Connect the cable end to the attachment point and release the reel.
Test run:
→
Remove any obstacles that could lead to collisions with the reel or the cable.
→
At low speed and with visual contact, carry out a test run to check that the cable can unwind without problems.
WARNING!
Danger of injury if the cable breaks!
An emergency stop must be possible at any time throughout the unwinding process!
→
Count the working turns of the reel and compare them with the specifications on the type plate.
→
If the specified number of working turns (see type plate) has been exceeded, immediately stop the unwinding process and
contact Conductix-Wampfler.
→
Check the orientation of the cable on the reel: The cable must overlap itself in an orderly manner when wound.
