Hubbell Gleason Reel TQ Series Installation & Maintenance Instructions

Series TQ Torque Reels
NOTE: To minimize wear on cable and cable guide, reel should be mounted
directly over work area and, preferably, on a rolling trolley so that cable is
pulled out as straight as possible during use. Keep a minimum of 6 inches
between ball stop and swedge.
Mount Reel
1. Use clevis to hang reel in desired location. Be sure cotter pin is installed
on clevis pin.
2. Attach optional safety chain to secondary hanger bracket or other
overhead support. Do not use the same attachment point as used for
the clevis. See Figure 1.
To prevent reel fall should primary clevis mount fail, it is recommended
that a safety chain be used from reel to a secure secondary support.
Failure to use safety chain could result in personal injury.
Attaching Load
For most effective use of reel, tool (Figure 2) should be positioned at top
of working range with no cable pulled off reel. Use overhang cables to
achieve proper distance from reel to tool. Cable on reel should be used
only to move tool within working range. To attach load (all components
hung on reel), raise load to safety clip and attach. DO NOT pull cable
down to load.
Always raise load to safety clip on cable reel. DO NOT pull reel cable
down to load. Doing so can result in damage to reel or personal injury.
