a) if your reel has a fixed center
shaft go to Step 1.
B) if your reel has an adjustable
center shaft go to Step 2.
Step 1:
Release and remove the outer coil
retainer from the shaft. Load or
unload the coil ring. Replace and
secure the outer coil retainer. The
reel is now ready for production.
Step 2:
Release and remove the outer coil
retainer from the shaft. If unload-
ing, adjust the centering arms to a
position that they have released the
coil. Remove the coil ring. If loading,
place the coil ring on the adjustable
centering arms, adjust the centering
arms until they are tight on the coil.
Replace and secure the outer coil
retainer. The reel is now ready for
production.
The dancer arm was designed to
operate from either side of the reel.
The main reason for this was so the
reel controls could be lined up on the
same side as the punch controls.
To switch the dancer arm to operate
on the opposite side that it is currently
located on, first remove the counter
weight if equipped with one, then turn
the locking knob to disengage the
lock on the dancer arm hub. Remove
the dancer arm and relocate it to the
other side. Turn the hub 60 degrees
and insert the dancer arm into the
slot. Set to desired length. Turn the
locking knob until tight on the dancer
arm. Then replace counter weight, if
so equipped.
Turn on the main power switch and
select “LV” for loop arm vertical at
“loop Type” on the pushbuttons.
Turn off the main power switch, press
and hold the “Run/Stop/Jog” button
while turning the main power switch
on. The first screen you see will

The next screen is to set the offset of
the program. Potentiometers are hard
to get set from left to right so we built
in an offset. If you set the low and
high range and go into run, and the
reel runs for no reason, then an offset
has to be put in. Go through the setup
procedure again and put in an offset
of –3 to –5 and now the pot is zero.
