7 MAINTAINING THE SPRING REEL TENSION (L SERIES)
The following describes the procedure for tensioning the spring reel with the use of a
locking pin which is inserted through holes drilled in each side of the spring reel (1).
Aach the rope to the wire loop on the spring reel and wrap rope
around the reel the required number of mes (2).
16mm hose: 2.0 turns VR hose: 2.5 turns 25mm hose: 3.0 turns
WARNING: Extreme care must be taken to avoid
accidental injury should the spring reel be allowed to recoil
unexpectedly. Gloves and eye protecon MUST be worn.
Pull the rope down to tension the spring reel (3) and keep pulling down unl the wire loop is level
with the retractor carriage
(4).
While sll pulling down on the rope, insert the retractor locking pin through the holes in the reel,
locking the spring reel against both sides of the bracket, thereby prevenng the rotaon of the
spring reel.
When locked the wire loop should be approx. 20-30mm above the hose carriage
(5).
Remove the rope from the wire and aach the wire loop to the top of the carriage (6).
While keeping tension on the carriage with the le hand, use the right hand to slide out the retractor
locking pin (7).
Slowly allow the carriage to slide upwards to the top of the rail (8).
