SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

• NOTICE: For servicing only by a qualified electrician.
• Servicing of the reel consists of isolating a problem with the power supply, reel, or utilization equipment. Refer any other discrepancies only to an authorized service person or directly to Hubbell.
• NOTICE: Replace outlets with equivalent rated devices only if needed.
• NOTICE: Replace incandescent and fluorescent lamp holders with an exact replacement only if needed.
• CAUTION: Fluorescent reels have a ballast in the supply cord and must only be used with the supplied lamp holder. Do not attempt to replace it with a different lamp holder or a connector.

MOUNTINGS

• NOTICE: Maximum installation height is 25 feet [7.62 m]. Do not exceed this distance.
• NOTICE: If the reel is supplying power to a machine, ensure that the machinery is at a position closest to the reel.
• CAUTION: If mounting overhead, recommend a safety chain (not included) between the reel base through the hole “T” (Fig. 3) and the ceiling surface to prevent accidental reel drop.

1. Determine the location to install the device, and be sure the spool centerline is aligned with the cable run.
2.  **Secure the reel:**
  *  **Option 1.** Position the reel on the floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place by using four bolts “K” (customer supplied, 1/4 bolt recommended). (Fig. 3)

SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION:
If the machine pulls the reel, move the machinery to the position closest to the reel before adjusting the spring tension. Adjusting tension with the cable extended may result in damage to the reel or personal injury.

CAUTION:
A high-tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Adjusting spring tension on the reel may result in personal injury, Exercise extreme caution.

• If necessary, adjust the spring tension on the reel by adding or removing wraps of electrical cable from the spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
• Test reel operation to achieve the desired tension.
• NOTICE: When adding wraps of electrical cable, be careful not to exceed the winding mechanism’s spring capacity. Add just enough wraps of cord to achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding mechanism will result if the spring is over-tensioned.

CONSTANT TENSION APPLICATION
Loosen screw “S” (Fig. 3) to remove the Pawl to disengage the Ratchet Lock.

CABLE STOP ADJUSTMENT

Notice:
The cable stop should be located a minimum of 6 inches [150mm] from the work device, a maximum of not allowing trip or collision hazard or damage to the cable.

• Adjust the cable stop by loosening (2) clamping screws and sliding them along the cable to the desired position then retightening the screws.

**MAINTENANCE

**

CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the spring from its housing. Clock-type springs can be dangerous to handle. Removal of spring from housing could result in personal injury.

• Bearings and springs are pre-lubricated and require no periodic maintenance.
