Preparation of frame. Prepare the frame as follows:
a. Spread the legs of the frame to form a double A. Open the pin catches on reel units
RL-31, RL-31-B, or RL-31-C. Swing the cross braces out at right angles to the cross arms and
snap the cross braces into place on the lips of the cross arms. (See Figure 38.)
b. Remove the pins chained to the cross braces of the RL-31-D and RL-31-E. Adjust
the spread of the frame to align the holes in the cross braces with the diagonally opposite hole
in the cross arm. Push the pins into the aligned holes. (See Figure 39.)

10. Ground installation. Select a level site to set up the equipment. During setup, be sure
the unit is not tilted and each leg rests firmly on solid ground. (See Figure 40.) If the area that
must be used is sandy or marshy, it may be necessary to place boards under the legs to keep
them from sinking or the reel unit from tipping over.
