The pushrod coiler is an integral component of any inspection system as it gathers the
pushrod in a uniformed and redistributable way. The Maxprobe pushrod coiler has a
mounting plate used to hold the Maxprobe CCU in position, the base of the frame is
designed to sit stably on a variety of surfaces and the wheels offer good stability over
commonly encountered terrain.

Coiler Brake Operation

Caution: Risk of Injury or Damage
When feeding the pushrod into, or out of, the Maxprobe coiler, ensure you
always maintain control of the pushrod's feed speed by gently applying or
releasing the brake. Do not completely release the brake, as this will allow the
pushrod to feed out uncontrollably, and this may allow the cage to spin and
possibly causing injury to you or others nearby, or damaging the camera, coiler,
or pushrod.
There is a brake fitted to the coiler pushrod cage axle, to prevent the cage from spinning and
the pushrod from uncoiling when the system is not in use. This brake must be released prior
to feeding the pushrod out or back in, and should be reapplied whenever the pushrod is not
being fed in or out. The brake handle is on the cage axle towards the centre of the coiler
