8. Blower operations
1. Verify adjustable push force
Verify adjustable push force is set to the established crash test value and the speed is at minimum.
2. Engage wheel drive
The wheel drive can be operated in forward. For installation, engage the wheel
drive in forward by depr button. Install the fiber into the duct using push
only until the installation has slowed.
3. Engage air
Slowly open the air control valve to allow air flow to the air block. Do not apply
maximum air pressure and flow at initial air engagement. Do not open the air
supply before adequate fiber has been pushed in (>100M).
IMPORTANT
Do not exceed 16 bars when operating the unit.
Forced air creates flying debris.
Always wear personal protective equipment.
4. Adjust speed
Use the + and – buttons to adjust the drive speed to ensure smooth installation and match the amount
of air pressure being used so that the forces are working together, not against one another.
5. Install fiber
It may be helpful to guide/apply back tension to the fiber using your hand at the fiber entrance of the
machine to maintain control over the fiber.
1.
Set wheel clamp force to the lowest possible setting that will allow for a desirable installation
speed.
2.
Insert the fiber and seal inside the pipe clamp as it would be for the actual installation.
3.
Install a 1 to 2 m test length of pipe into the MJet V0 HD clamp and insert clamp into the air block.
4.
Block the end of the test length of pipe.
5.
Tighten the wheel pressure on to the fiber with the wheel drive engaged in the forward direction
until the fiber starts to install.
6.
Ram the fiber into the blocked end of the pipe.
7.
Wheel should stop in the fiber before the fiber folds over.
8.
Reduce the pushing force on the fiber until the wheel stops.
9.
Repeat step 6-8 until the fiber folds. This is your push force slip limit.
10.
Loosen up the wheel on the fiber a quarter turn and perform test once more to confirm no fold
over has occurred. KEEP THIS SETTING APPLIED TO THE FIBER FOR ACTUAL INSTALLATION!
11.
Swap out test length of pipe with actual installation pipe and proceed to operating the
MJet V0 HD.
