ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before rotating the reel 
be sure L/H & R/H mounts are well 
clamped so that reel cannot tip or 
fall. 
CAUTION: To prevent cam arm 
assemblies from sliding sideways off 
of cam tracks as reel is mounted, 
wire-tie cam arm assembly to the outer reel 
arm assembly (fastened in step 3). 
 
6. MOUNT REEL TO HEADER SUPPORT ARMS. 
NOTE: If header is not available, position new 
stands at left and right mounts and clamp reel 
securely. Remove supports under reel center 
tube. 
See insert sheet supplied with mounting 
package for mounting instructions. 
WARNING: The reel weighs between 
400 lbs. (15') and 800 lbs. (30') and 
must be adequately supported. When 
positioning, be sure a stop is in place to 
prevent the reel from sliding off the reel 
support arms. 
 
WARNING: The reel drive must be 
properly shielded. Install and 
maintain all recommended shields 
and safety signs.
