2 Installation
Discard used cotter pin after each
disassembly. Use a new cotter pin when re-
assembling clevis pin.
CAUTION
2.1 Swivel Mounting
Hang the takeup reel directly over the work area by the
swivel fork provided at the top of takeup reel. Support for the
takeup reel must conform to the guidelines indicated by the
adjacent diagram and must be strong enough to support the
takeup reel and any devices supported by the takeup reel.
The support component must allow the swivel fork to pivot
30° from vertical axis, perpendicular to clevis pin axis. In use,
the takeup reel must not be pulled sideways more than 30°
or exceed the free pla y between the support component
and swivel fork. To complete takeup reel mounting, install
clevis pin through swivel fork and support component. Install
flat washer and new cotter pin (in plastic bag) onto clevis pin
(see diagram).
2.2 Secondary Support:
Always use a secondary cable to protect
personnel in case of mounting components
or support structure failure.
WARNING
Attach one end of secondary support chain or cable to
secondary support attaching point on takeup reel. Attach the
other end of secondary chain or cable to a support
component other than that which supports the takeup reel.
The chain or cable should be as short as possible allowing
the takeup reel to drop no more than 6 inches if the primary
connection is released.
