4.0 Troubleshooting
This can indicate cable slip which would require the tension to be increased via the tensioning knob.
This can indicate high friction within the route and undulations/macro bending of the cable inside the microduct. Best
practice is to reduce the speed and not force the crank handle to turn.
Check that the correct size microduct olives have been selected (see table in Section 3.5).
Check that the tensioning knob is not overtightened. The maximum installation distance may be close (see chart in
Section 3.3 on pg. 13). Do not force the crank handle, especially if the cable/duct size combination is not optimum
(see Table in Section 3.2 on page 13).
Check that the tensioning knob is tightened sufficiently and applying enough compression onto the cable. Check that
the tyre is clean and dry. Check that the tyre is not damaged or with flat spots. Replace the drive wheel if necessary
(spare drive wheels can be ordered separately).
Disconnect the microduct from the HAPI™ Tool and push the cable by hand. If the cable cannot be installed any
further, the maximum installable distance has been achieved or the cable has met an obstacle/impassable bend in
the microduct.
This can be caused by misalignment of the microduct clamp. To remedy, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Place a pair of olives into the clamp and close the latch
2. Loosen the 2 x 3mm hex screws on the reverse of the clamp assembly
3. Realign the clamp by pressing the olives in an upward direction, relative to the drive wheel
4. While maintaining this upward pressure on the olives, retighten the hex screws
4.1 Juddering and jerking of the drive wheel during operation
4.2 Tapping / cracking noise during the pushing process
4.3 Microduct clamp will not close
4.4 Crank Handle is hard to turn
4.5 Cable is slipping
4.6 Olive is clashing on Drive Wheel
