Drawing 4 - Cable Reel - Parts List
Drawing 10 - Boom Nose Junction Box w/ohmmeter on 1 & 2
Drawing 11 - Slip Ring w/ohmmeter on X2:Red & X1:Brown
Procedure 5 - Length Potentiometer and Angle Sensor Adjustment
1.
Cut old cable at cable drum
2.
Disconnect damaged length cable from junction box at the boom nose. Refer to
Drawing 2, 10.
3.
Open cable reel cover and disconnect wiring from terminal block. Pull 7-conductor

5.
Remove damaged length cable, which is mounted to the slip rings in the cable reel,
from slip ring terminal. Refer to Drawings 2, 4, 11.
6.
On the back side of the cable reel, open the strain relief attached to the axle in the
center of the drum. Pull existing length cable out of the cable reel.
7.
Pull new length cable through the hole, pipe and strain relief and push it through
