2. Verify that the adjustable ten-
sion roller is in the correct
position for the type of lash-
ing. The roller should be in
the lower- most position for
normal lashing wire tension,
including lashing broadband
coaxial cables. The roller
should be in the upper- most
position for higher lashing
wire tension.
3. Depress the reel brake into
cutout on rear flange. Un-
screw and remove the wire
reel cover and slide the lash-
ing wire coil over the hub and
onto the reel making sure
that it spools out to the rear
of the lasher as shown by
arrow.
4. Install the wire reel cover
and thread completely
onto the reel until snug
against the wire coil. It is
important to ensure that
the reel cover is tight
against the wire coil to pre-
vent the lashing wire from
“snagging” on itself.
