Figure 40: No rod behind second loading plate
9. Using the manual inverter RETRACT the Cassette into the Drum slowly.
Continue RETRACTING until the Upper Connector has passed behind the
first Rod Loading Plate and the process of pushing the rod into the drum
has begun. If the wrong plate is fitted or the Cassette has already
been rotated one full turn too many and a coil of rod is trapped
before fitting the plate then the rod will not be loaded properly.
10.Now fit the second Rod Loading Plate (thick section) to the Thruster
Support Arms in the 3-4 o’clock position. Again, there should not be any
rod behind the plate at this time.
11.Using the manual inverter RETRACT the Cassette into the Drum slowly.
The Upper Connector should pass behind the second Rod Loading Plate
and the rod be pushed tightly into the drum. If the wrong plate is
fitted or the Cassette has already been rotated one full turn too
many and a coil of rod is trapped before fitting the plate then the
rod will not be loaded properly.
