4.13.12 RECALLING/ERASING THE WAKEUP TIME (OPTIONAL)
Repeatedly press the button until the bell symbol appears on the display
– read off wakeup
time. To erase the wakeup time: press the button until the bell symbol is no longer visible on
the display.
4.14 ROPE LOCKING CLAMP (OPTIONAL)
The rope locking clamp allows blocking the rope end towards the reel winder and therefore the
operations for removing the reel are speed up.
The rope locking clamp can be connected acting on the selector (table 3, pos. 30).
To engage the rope locking clamp, turn the selector (table 3, pos. 30) on position (blocked).
When the machine is working the selector has to be turned on position (free).
4.15 POINTS TO REMEMBER
a. The pressure of feeding circuit (table 3, pos. 7) must be more than 20 bars: otherwise, the
stationary brakes could be damaged.
b. Adjust the pull of reel elevators with hydraulic head (table 3, pos. 10) at minimum indispensable
value: otherwise, the hydraulic oil could be heated and dangerous counter pulls may arise.
c. In hot climates, during the stoppages, let running the Diesel engine with the radiator fan connected
(table 3, pos. 8) at maximum speed.
d. Before beginning the works, check the levels.
e. Respect the temperature limits for the hydraulic oil as indicated at paragraph 2.12.
f. Check the condition of the discs in the emergency brakes after any emergency intervention.
g.
Remember to use the values indicated on the scale “puller” for the recovery phases and those
indicated on the scale “tensioner” for the stringing phases.
h. When we use the machine as tensioner, position the pull limiting device
– red arrow (table 3, pos. 1)
on the minimum scale, to avoid dangerous stopping.
This operation is absolutely indispensable when the tensioner machine work with a puller without
automatic limiting pull device.
i. The connecting operations of the mechanical reduction gear (table 2, pos. 9) must be made only
with stopped machine and not under charge.
4.16 END OF THE OPERATIONS
At the end of the operations, discharge the ropes-conductors tension using the control lever
(table 3, pos. 4). Then stop the engine operating on the starting key.
