suspended directly over the work area (see
illustration), using an eyebolt or similar device with
a break strength exceeding 6 times the combined
weight of torque reel and load it is supporting.
Torque reel should be mounted in such a manner
as to minimize cable contact with cable guide. For
proper alignment, utilize the three (3) mounting
holes at top of torque reel. If shackle is removed to
make connections, be sure that nut and cotter pin
are properly replaced on the shackle pin.
RIDGID MOUNT
Install torque reel in desired location using rigid mount housing. Use housing as a template to drill
mounting holes. Mount reel in line with cable pay out to minimize rubbing of cable against cable guide.
