6. Maintenance
The GMP Whisper Cable Blowing Machine has been designed to give reliable, trouble free
service over long periods. The machine requires no sophisticated maintenance procedures,
simple common sense checks and precautions are all that are needed.
The main source of breakdown and/or malfunction of a machine being used outdoors is con-
tamination by the elements, this contamination may be introduced into the machine in a num-
ber of different ways.
There may be mud, dust or other contaminants carried into the machine on the cable or tube
(there may be surface coatings of lubricants or other release type agents on the outer surfac-
es of the cable and tube, this could build up on the rollers and make them slip).
The machine may be set down on a muddy surface, or be splashed by vehicles when it is be-
ing used by the roadside.
