ASSEMBLY

3. SLIDE REEL ARM ASSEMBLIES ONTO

CENTER TUBE.

NOTE: The lug pattern is different at each end of
the tube. The pattern at each end continues
towards the center of the tube. The number of
positions with the same lug pattern determines the
number of arm assemblies to be installed from that
end.

EXAMPLE: Lug pattern (A) is repeated at three
positions; slide three reel arm assemblies (C) on
that end.
Lug pattern (B) is repeated at two positions; slide
two assemblies (C) on that end.

To install arm assemblies:
• With disc of assembly facing in, match the three

notches (D) in the arm disc with the three end
lugs on the center tube and slide assembly over
these lugs.

• Rotate assembly until any notch in disc aligns

with the fourth (offset) lug and slide on.

• Repeat until all assemblies are on reel tube,

past the first set of lugs at each end.

• Fasten one arm assembly at each end, using

3/8 NC x 1-1/2 carriage bolts and flange nuts as
follows:

Place the disc between the one offset lug (E)
and the other three lugs (F) and rotate to align
holes in disc with lugs on tube. Install hardware
finger tight only, with bolt heads against lugs.

NOTE: It is sufficient to fasten only the outside arm
assemblies at this stage, leaving the rest of the
arm assemblies close to the end of the reel. Final
positioning is easier after the reel is mounted.
