Place the Two-Piece Spooler on the rail
by first holding the Spooler up to the
rail and then sliding the removable
section into the appropriate slot.
Keep 12˝ (305mm) to 18˝ (457mm)
from line post.
Square the spooler (with a speed
square) to the rail before tensioning.
– Use one Spooler for every 660
’
(201m)
of Rail and/or when 90˚ of elevation
and directional change occur.
– Corners, small dips and rises create
friction so use one Spooler for every
accumulated 90˚.
– Make sure rail is hand tight before
final tensioning with spooler.
–
Must have sufficient slack in rail for
one full rotation before becoming taut.
To make installation and tightening easier and safer, use the Extended
Handle Ratchets. Place a ratchet on each Spooler hub.
Slide on extended handles and remove the safety pin from the rubber strap.
Tension the rail by first ratcheting the Extended Handles (use the safety
pin to hold the tension while ratcheting back) then remove safety pin,
repeat ratcheting until taught.
Two locking pins MUST be placed opposite each other in holes
closest to the tensioned rail.
For best presentation - install Spoolers to line up vertically.
