Reel Endshields
Reel endshields and supports do not require regular maintenance, but they should be checked periodically for
damage and loose or missing fasteners. Slightly dented or deformed endshields and supports are repairable, but
it’s necessary to replace severely damaged components.
You can attach reel endshields to either end of the reel.
