Special Operations
IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE
The motor can be reversed to free cable if it gets caught
in the line. Use the following procedure:
1. Move motor switch to reverse position.
2. Wearing leather gloves, pull on cable while the drum
is turning in reverse.
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR
MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME
SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE THE CABLE
TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
3. When the cable is freed, slide excess cable back into
drum.
4. Move the motor switch to the forward position again,
and continue at Step 3 of the Operating Instructions.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This is almost always caused by using too much pressure
when feeding the cable, or by feeding the cable while
running the machine in reverse. To untangle, rotate drum
in opposite direction. This will usually get the cable to lie
in the drum properly
If cable has become badly tangled, which shouldn't hap-
pen when machine is used properly, it can be straight-
ened out by removing the distributor tube from the drum.
To do this:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING CABLES OR
1. Loosen the four bolts that hold the distributor tube
cone on the front of the drum.
2. Pull the cone and distributor tube forward, then pull
the tangled portion of the cable out of the drum.
3. After the cable has been straightened out, slide the
distributor tube and cone back along the cable until it
can be repositioned and bolted to the front of the
drum.
4. Then, push the excess cable back into the drum.
