Safety Instructions
Read and understand this operating
manual before operating the MicroFlow.
Follow all safety instructions. Failure to
follow the instructions may lead to
damage on the machine and mild to severe
personal injury.
Make sure to disconnect the machine from
the air compressor, before any kind of
adjustment and maintenance takes place.
The air pressure should never exceed the
recommendations from the suppliers of
microducts and fiber. The pressure may
never exceed 16 bar, which is the
maximum pressure for the MicroFlow
blowing machine.
WARNING: Exceeding max.
pressure may lead to machine
damage and mild to severe personal injury.
Observe that the machine is placed on a
stable foundation. Make sure that the fiber
and duct are placed correctly in the
machine.
Make sure you do not touch the fiber too
close to the machine because you risk
getting your fingers injured, and make sure
the fiber does not make loops that might
be dangerous to persons around the
machine.
Never wear loose clothing
WARNING: Loose clothing may
become entangled in the machine.
Use hearing protection, if the air
compressor is placed nearby.
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 fiber and equipment.
Maintenance
The MicroFlow does not require much
maintenance if the following recommendations
are followed:
Compressed air must be clean and dry. Use air
filter and water separator.
Clean the wheels on a regular basis, at least
once a day when the machine is in use.
Make sure the
sensor arms are
clean and can
move freely.
Check gaskets and rubber belts on wheels for
wear and tear on a daily basis, and replace if
necessary.
NB: Humid and polluted air may influence
machine life and performance and may result in
increased wear.
NB: Failure to maintain and clean the machine
may affect machine reliability.
