i. Mount the brake unit on the other end of the axle. (See Figure 35.)

8. Transportation to the installation site. When loaded, the RL-31-(*) is light enough to be
carried by hand or moved from one place to another by one or two persons.
a. Litter carry. If the reel unit and reel are carried only a short distance, the ST-19-A
straps are not required. Two men walk into the open ends of the frame legs, lift and walk
forward carefully. If a long distance is to be covered, the straps will relieve some of the strain
on the arm and shoulder muscles. Loop the straps behind the neck, adjust them for length,
and snap them into the holes in the legs of the frame. (See Figure 36.)
b. Wheelbarrow method. If the ground is smooth, a loaded RL-31-(*) may be pushed
wheelbarrow fashion. Fold up the frame and attach it to the reel and axle. Do not install the
crank and brake unit until the equipment is at the installation site. (See Figure 37.)
