 SAFETY DIRECTIONS 

 

 

Make sure to disconnect the machine from all power sources, like air compressor and hydraulic pump, 
before any kind of adjustment and maintenance takes place. 
 

 

The hydraulic power supply from the hydraulic pump for cable blowing machines or from other sources 
may never exceed the specified maximum pressure. 

 

 

The air pressure should never exceed the recommendations from the suppliers of microducts and fiber 
cables. The pressure may never exceed 16 bar, which is the maximum pressure for the blowing junction 
block. 

 

 

Observe that the machine is placed on a stable foundation and secure it before start. Make sure that the 
blowing junction block is properly connected to the microduct, and that the cable is placed correctly 
between the chains. 

 

 

Make sure you do not touch the cable too close to the machine because you risk getting your fingers 
injured, and make sure the cable does not make loops that might be dangerous to persons around the 
machine. 

 

 

Use hearing protection if the hydraulic pump or other noisy equipment is placed nearby. 

 

 

The joystick on the hydraulic control unit should never be blocked in a way, where it is unable to return to 
neutral position. 

 

 

The operator must make sure that no other persons are close to the machine and cable drums in a way 
that could be dangerous when the machine is started. 
 

 

It is always a clear advantage to be well prepared so that you can run the blowing without interruptions. 
Pausing in the middle of blowing creates a risk of being unable to start again. 

 

 

Make sure the working environment is clean and tidy to avoid injuries due to stumbling over cables and 
equipment.
