B-1APPENDIX B: N OTES ON HANDLING TOWC ABLESfew methods on how to safely unreel tow cables are provided in thisappendix. In addition, how cable kinking can occur is identified alongwith what can result from this condition.B.1 Unreeling Tow CableThe reel should be revolved and the rope taken off the way it was put on the reel asshown in Figure B-1 for two effective methods. Place a shaft through the reelcenter and jack it up so that the reel revolves freely. Pull the cable straight ahead,keeping it taut, to prevent the cable from becoming loose on the reel. A board heldagainst a flange may be used as a brake to prevent the reel from revolving too fast.Figure B-1: Correct Methods to Unreel Tow CableA
