  • Page 9: Reel Loading

    REEL LOADING 1. Lubricate the hole in the reel hubs with grease. WARNING! If the reel hubs are not properly lubricated, the high RPMs attained during figure-8ing and rewinding the cable can generate enough heat to deform the arbor hole in the reel. The deformed reel could stop turning which could damage the cable.
  • Page 10 5. Insert the arbor in the bushing and push through the reel. If the reel is not level, insert the arbor from the lower side. The washers on the arbor need to be on the lower side to prevent the arbor from sliding off the lifting arm while loading the reel.
  • Page 11 8. Using the reel lifting rack lever on the control panel, lower the lifting arms below the height of the arbor in the reel. 9. Roll the reel forward to align the arbor with the lifting rack and raise the reel rack lifting arms, making contact with arbor.
  • Page 12 11. The trailer must always be securely attached to a heavy vehicle while lifting. 12. Load the reel using the reel rack lever on the control panel. WARNING! To properly position the reel on the trailer, bring the reel all the way forward until the cylinder stops.

  • Page 14: Transporting

    TRANSPORTING Before transporting: 1. Gas must be turned off on the Honda engine. 2. The reel turning rack must be in the full forward position. 3. All set screws must be tightened on the collars and reel turner axle hubs to prevent them from vibrating out.

  • Page 45 Tire Safety Information 1. T AFETY NFORMATION This portion of the User’s Manual contains tire safety information as required by 49 CFR 575.6. Section 2.1 contains “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit - Trailer”. Section 2.2 contains “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit – Tow Vehicle”. Section 2.3 contains a Glossary of Tire Terminology, including “cold inflation pressure”, “maximum inflation pressure”, “recommended inflation pressure”, and other non-technical terms.
  • Page 46 Excessive loads and/or underinflation cause tire overloading and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical.
  • Page 47 Bead The part of the tire that is made of steel wires, wrapped or reinforced by ply cords and that is shaped to fit the rim. Bead separation This is the breakdown of the bond between components in the bead. Bias ply tire A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at alternate angles substantially less than 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread.
  • Page 48 Intended outboard sidewall The sidewall that contains a white-wall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire or the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
  • Page 49 The linear distance between the exteriors of the sidewalls of an inflated tire, including elevations due to labeling, decorations, or protective bands or ribs. A layer of rubber-coated parallel cords. Ply separation A parting of rubber compound between adjacent plies. Pneumatic tire A mechanical device made of rubber, chemicals, fabric and steel or other materials, that, when mounted on an automotive wheel, provides the traction and contains the gas or fluid that sustains the load.
  • Page 50 That portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road. Tread rib A tread section running circumferentially around a tire.
