Fitting and operating instructions
EXCHANGING THE SPIRAL SPRING FT/ FTE
• disconnect the cable reel from the power supply and remove from the operation
site
• remove the cover for the connecting terminals
• FT / EFT disconnects the stranded wires of the upper slip ring from the fuse
terminals
• FTE disconnect the stranded wires of the upper slip ring from the hexagon screw.
• loosen all the screws and remove the housing cover
• carefully pull the upper slip ring off the plastic axle
the spiral spring in the coil is under tension. Please ensure that the locking
mechanism is activated.
• To replace the spiral spring, you should make sure the spring is unwinding for
your own safety! Please adhere to the following instruction:
1. carefully pull on the cable stopper until the click of the notches have faded,
you immediately notice a pull on the cable stopper in the opposite direction.
2. let the coil run back slowly and count the number of turns. This is important
to adjust later the exact preload on the spring again, without damage to coil
or spiral spring. In the end the coil should be able to move freely.
3. Turn the drum and release the coil from the housing by undoing the centre
screw.
4. put the coil on the side with the spring cover disc top. Remove the spring
cover disk.
5. remove the plastic axle
6. remove the defective spring
• carefully Re-assemble the coil. Undertake the Re-assembly in reverse order.
• if necessary, wind down the pull-out cable completely by turning the coil and
insert the new spring. Pay attention to the installation position!
Due to the manufacturing design the spring is under tension and could
unwind very fast and cause injuries if handled improper.
• reinsert the plastic axle and assemble the spring cover disc. Ensure the retainer
pin is engaging the spring eye.
• Adjust the pre-load:
• Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil
as often as you counted. At the end let it snap into the notches. (see "LOCKING
DEVICE")
• After the complete re-assembly undo the locking. Pull on the cable stopper, wind
out the cable complete and slowly rewind it.
• Before re-mounting at the operation area, please check for a correct
performance. (see "Ready to use")
