SWINGING MOUNTING
Hang retractor reel in desired location by clevis provided at
top. Reel should be suspended directly over work area (see
illustration), using an eyebolt or similar device with a break-
strength exceeding 6 times the combined weight of reel and
load it is supporting. Reel should be mounted in such a
manner as to minimize cable contact with cable guide. For
proper alignment, utilize three (3)-mounting holes at top of
reel. If shackle is removed to make connections, be sure
nut and cotter pin are properly replaced on shackle pin.
SECONDARY SUPPORT CHAIN
WARNING:
Attach a secondary safety cable, or chain, to all reels mounted overhead to prevent reel
from falling. Immediate hazards WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
A hole has been provided at side of housing to permit installation of a secondary support chain. All reels
mounted over head must have a secondary support chain to protect personnel in case of structure or
mounting component failure. Attach one end of secondary support chain or cable to secondary support
point (shackle) on reel. Attach other end of secondary support chain or cable to a support component
other than that which supports the retractor reel. Chain or cable should be as short as possible allowing
reel to drop no more than 6 to 12 inches if the primary connection is released. (See Illustration above). A
secondary support is offered as an accessory item.
