6. Feed the tether through the level wind as follows:
a. Open the access slot by lifting the two exposed screw heads to raise the tether support
shafts.
b. Pull up on both sides of the
top wheel’s brass axle and slide the tether beneath it.
c. Lower the two support shaft screws.
d. Ensure that the top and bottom level wind wheels are tracking properly as the tether is
spooled out. The bottom wheel turns an encoder for counting tether feed and vehicle
travel.
Mini-Reel Setup
If your system includes a Mini-Reel, follow these steps to operate:
1. Remove the Mini-Reel from the shipping case.
2. Connect the deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply.
3. Connect the encoder deck cable from the reel to the Video Interface and Power Supply (if
provided with Mini-Reel).
4.
Disengage
the shipping brake.
5. Make sure the friction brake is
engaged
– disengaging the friction brake can result in slack tether
resulting in potentially jamming the reel.
6. Unwind some tether and connect the tether to the vehicle.
