Rapid-Air DUAL SWIVEL REEL: 100 & 1000 SERIES - Manual (Page 3)

MECHANICAL OPERATING PROCEDURE
To Load or Unload a Coil Ring
a) If your reel has 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 unloading, adjust the cen-
tering arms to a position so that they will release 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 con-
trols.
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 dis-
engage 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 de-
sired position. Turn the locking knob until tight on the dancer arm. Then replace
counter weight, if so equipped. The dancer arm is now ready for production running.
