Loosen the three white tether retaining clips so they easily swing up.
Step 3: Guiding in the Tether
Pass the tether to the interior of the spool between two of the blue standos just ahead of the tether retaining clips.
Step 4: Securing the Connection
Connect the tether to the slip ring core, rotating the locking collar to lock the connector in place.
Step 5: Securing the Tether
Feed the tether into each of the three retaining clips, keeping some slack in the cable where it goes to the connector. Re-
tighten the retaining clips to secure the tether. If using Fathom Slim tether, loop the tether around each clip once in
addition to passing it through for security.
Step 6: Winding the Tether
Using one hand, crank the spool while using the other hand to keep the tether taut and feed it in evenly. Wind over the
entire width of the spool before winding another layer to maximize space eciency and neatness.
Maintenance
The Fathom Spool has a rugged design which does not require much maintenance.
After Every Use
Wipe down the unit with fresh water to remove salt residue.
Check for and re-tighten any screws that may be loose. A new application of thread locker may be necessary.
