Mainline Cable Reel

Periodic maintenance is essential for top performance and long cable reel life. Theowner is responsible for maintaining the reel according to the maintenanceschedule. Each operator of the reel should be familiar with the safety, operationsand maintenance of this reel. Use table as a guide for normal periodic maintenance.Under dusty or adverse operating conditions some maintenance operations shouldbe performed more frequently. Keep a log of maintenance performed and the hoursrun (if applicable). Recording maintenance will help you keep it regular and providea basis of information when needing to send in for repairs. When contacting adealer or RS Technical Service for parts, service or product information, be ready toprovide the product number and serial number on serial number nameplate. Thenameplate is located on the top inside of the left side plate above the levelwindshaft. A second one is located under the chain cover on the electrical side of thereel (right side), just over the motor. To make the model and serial number easy tofind when you need them, record them on the top of the maintenance sheet.

Before any maintenance is performed power MUST be turned off. Before anyELECTRICAL covers are removed the reel MUST be unplugged from theelectrical outlet.

Mechanical Maintenance

The single most important maintenance item to perform on the Crawler is to keepthe Crawler clean. Each time the Crawler is removed from the pipeline, wash theentire assembly. Look for mechanical damage and wear. Inspect Crawler motor forleaks. Check axles for run out and make sure they are not in a bind. Inspect bridle,skids, top rails and mounting bolts to make sure they are secure. Inspect cameramounting clamps are operational.

Tread Maintenance

It is important to keep the tread assembly maintained and clean. Each time theCrawler is washed check the entire tread assembly. Look for mechanical damageand wear on chain and on tread pads. Inspect chain assembly for loose or missingrivets. Check chains to make sure they are not in a bind and spin freely. A lightspray of chain oil should be used on each track assembly. Inspect mounting bolts tomake sure they are secure.

Tread Drive Chain Adjustment (6-Inch Crawler)

Loosen the idler sprocket nut and bolt using a 9/16” combo wrench.

Using a 5/64” Allen, back off the adjusting set screw. Slide the chain adjusterassembly forward until chain has no slack. (Reference photo #1)

Lift on the chain and insert a 5/16” Allen wrench between the chain and the chainguide. This will set the proper amount of slack for the chain. (Reference photo #2and #3)

Spring tail (Sonde) re-termination

This procedure is used to properly terminate the RST push cable reel equipped withthe RST sonde.

Cut and strip the push cable to the dimensions shown in drawing 968-32411. Careshould be taken not to cut into the fiberglass core. Inspect the fiberglass core forany cracks. If the core is cracked cut off an additional 6” of cable and strip it again.Do this until the core is solid.

Take a piece of 120-grit sandpaper and scuff the fiberglass rod for adhesion to theepoxy. Work a small gap between the fiberglass core and the black jacket.Squeeze a small amount of Loctite 406 (item 3 page 7) into the gap and let it dry.

Wipe clean the bore of the connector base (item 2, page 7) with alcohol and slide itover the push cable. Attach snap lock connector (item 1) by connecting the centerconductor to the blue & white wire with a loop (fig 1).

Wipe the sanded area of the core with alcohol on a rag. Ensure that no centerwires are touching the shield wires. Slide the connector base up to the snapconnector and place some tape 3/8” from the end of the jacket (fig. 3). Slide theconnector base to the tape and situate the assembly upright for epoxy.

Attach a wire to the cable and connector base to keep the core centered in thebase until the epoxy has cured (fig.4). It is acceptable for the shield to contact thebase but not the center conductor and base. Test the assembly at the reel end bydisconnecting the coax and connecting an Ohmmeter between the center of theconnector and the locking nut. There should be no continuity between the two.Place two pieces of plastic tubing into the slots on the top of the base to preventleakage of the epoxy (fig. 4).

Mix and pour the epoxy into the assembly. When epoxy starts to appear at the little hole inthe side of the base, place a piece of tape over the opening to prevent further leakage.Continue pouring the epoxy into the assembly until the epoxy is flush with the top of thebase. Let the assembly cure for 24 hours before use (fig 5).
