Operation

1. Two RXM reel stands and one Greenlee reel stand
spindle are required for a complete setup.

2. Make sure the cable reel is chocked to prevent
movement during setup.

3. Insert the spindle through the arbor holes of the
cable reel and center it about the reel’s width.
(Fig.1)

Figure 1.

4. Place reel stands in lifting conguration by removing
the pin and pivoting the jack upward. Then insert
the pin through the upper sockets. (Fig. 2)

5. Place the reel stand under the spindle and adjust
the jack head assembly by pivoting and sliding it
up or down so that the rollers are just under the
spindle. For very large reels, the jack may also need
to be raised by turning the crank arm to reach the
proper height. (Fig. 3)

Figure 3.

Align the head assembly rollers with the groove at
the end of the spindle. Repeat for other side. (Fig. 4)

Figure 2.

Figure 4.

Note: For very wide reels that interfere with crank
arm rotation, lifting is accomplished by turning
the arm in a half circle, folding the arm down, and
repeating this motion.

8. When nished dispensing cable, the cable reel
should be lowered and stands put in storage cong­uration in the reverse manner as described above.

motion.
