UNIT INSTALLATION
Receiving
Inspect the Pallet Reel for shipping damage immediately
upon receipt. If damage is observed, make a note of the
damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt before signing.
Then notify your local carrier terminal and P/A Industries.
The Pallet Reel is shipped disassembled and packaged for
protection during transit. Care should be taken during
unpacking so that all paper work and parts are collected
and accidental damage is avoided. The stretch wrap
around the head assembly should be removed after
assembly, not before.
Assembly
The Control Head Assembly Base Arm must be inserted
into one of the two holes provided in the leg (Figure 1). For
shipment, a rubber band is placed around the Base Arm
Tightening Assembly. Remove this rubber band. Select
which mounting hole to use by identifying the job to be run.
General guidelines are as follows:
The following drawing displays Control Head capacity
dimensions:
Use Lower Mounting Hole (Figure 2) for:
•
Very narrow strip stock less then 2” where parallel
pull-off is preferred.
•
Coil stack height does not exceed 30”.
Use Upper Mounting Hole (Figure 3) for:
•
Tall coil stacks where maximum elevation of Guide
Drum Assembly is required.
•
Wider strip materials where near parallel
UN-winding is not a concern.
Lift the Control Head Assembly from the tabletop, leave
wrapped until inserted, and slide the base arm into the
selected mounting hole. The Base Arm slides in and out of
the leg to allow adjustable clearance for different size
pallets rotating on the tabletop.
Position Base Arm to desired location and tighten the one
hex head bolt to wedge the base arm in a fixed position.
If using the upper mounting hole, simply unthread the
wedge-tightening bolt and reinstall the assembly at the
upper hole.

Remove stretch wrap protecting the Control Head
Assembly and remove corrugated retainers located in
Weight Channels.
Electrical Power
The electrical power requirement of your Pallet Reel is
clearly marked on the Control Box and on the tag attached
to the end of the power cord.
Models requiring 220V (and up) power are shipped without
a supply power connection.
Please ensure the Pallet Reel is connected to the correct
power source and that all wire, cable, etc. are installed in
accordance with all prevailing codes. Refer to schematic
for proper fuse or circuit breaker size.
