After the reel is freed of its ties to the strung
conductor, the operator can remove the reel
to install another reel or pulling rope drum, if
desired. See pages 58-59 for steps involved in
changing/installing conductor reel.

Upon completion of re-conductoring
operations, and once the empty reel is
