Tag Line Cable Replacement

  1. Unwind the old cable from the reel and cut the cable near the grommet/hub opening.
  2. Unscrew the three screws from the faceplate, and remove the faceplate from the reel.
  3. Undo the two screws from the black plastic bridge inside the reel hub and remove the remaining cable. Keep the plastic bridge, as you will reuse this and the screws to attach the replacement cable.
  4. If there is a black rubber grommet in the reel hub opening, remove it, as it is no longer required.
  5. Feed the loop end of the new cable through the opening and into the reel hub. Avoid tangling the cable.

Note:

If you are using the replacement cable as a safety support for a pump or sampler, connect a D-ring (or any suitable connector) to the loop on the end of the cable, and attach it securely to the eyelet on the underside of a well cap.

  1. Position the cable in the hub as shown in the photo below.
