ITC SWL- Hitachi - Cable Reeler Installation

Notes
The cable reeler is used to supply the electrical signals to the sensor
The cable reeler should be installed on the reinforcement plate at the top of the base boom section on either the cabin or engine side of the boom (depending on the cable reeler configuration).

Each corner of the cable reeler base plate has three M8 holes to suit multiple mounting positions. 
Installation Steps:
  1. Each corner of the cable reeler base plate has three M8 holes to suit multiple mounting positions.
  2. The cable reeler should be secured to the reinforcement plate using a bolt in each corner of the base plate. In some situations there may be protruding bolts or a weld on the cable reeler mounting surface.
  3. Use stand-offs to raise the cable reeler above the bolts or weld.
  4. Ensure the cable reeler is mounted in line with the boom so the cable doesn't wear against the cover when the boom is extended/retracted.
  5. Mount the cable anchor to the end boom section.
  6. Choose the location for the cable anchor so the cable extends parallel to the boom.
  7. Adjust the height of the anchor so the cable is in line with the middle of the cable reeler drum, otherwise the cable may bunch up in a corner when the boom is retracted.
  8. Mount cable supports on any extra boom sections.
  9. Ensure the support is positioned in line with the cable.
  10. Adjust the height of the support so the cable remains in line.
  11. Run the cable through any supports and attach to the cable anchor.
  12. Secure the connector to the boom head using the supplied p-clip.
