•
Centerline of the spool assembly must be on line with the cable run.
•
When mounted overhead in base up position, add a secondary chain,
bracket or other safety device to prevent reel from falling in case the
mounting bolts are removed or become loosened from vibration.
SECONDARY SUPPORT CHAIN
DANGER: A secondary safety cable or chain is to be attached to all reels mounted overhead to prevent

All reels mounted over head should have a secondary support chain to protect personnel in case of

secondary support point on reel. Attach other end of secondary support chain or cable to a support
component other than that which supports the reel. The chain or cable should be as short as possible
allowing reel to drop no more than 6 to 12 inches if the primary connection is released. A secondary
support is offered as an accessory item.
