Machine anchoring sequence is the following:
a. keep the wheel brakes of the machine disengaged.
b. anchor the machine to the ground using adequate ropes and turnbuckles, connecting the ears
(table 2, pos. 4), located at the rear of the machine, to the anchoring stakes.
The ropes must form an angle with the direction of the pull as shown on table 2, to allow the
machine to react to possible transverse forces as well.
c. load the cables on the bull-wheels as shown on tables 2-3.
IMPORTANT: before starting stringing operations, we suggest to test the pull, reaching
the max. value expected for the operations, in order to check the carried out anchoring
and the machine settling. It is better to have the rear anchoring slightly released so that
the machine can freely settle.
d. put the anchoring ropes under tension using the suitable turnbuckles.
e. block the machine brakes acting on the special handle (table 1, pos. 10).
ATTENTION: the non-respect of the foreseen anchoring operations may cause dangerous
situations during machine use.
Around the machine must be a free space of at least 2-m to make easier the operations of use,
adjustment, maintenance, etc.
Be sure that around the radiator (hydraulic oil) cooling air can freely circulate.
Otherwise overheating situations with damage for the installed components may happen.
DANGER: machine has not a proper grounding device; for the system machine-rope-
conductor in the job site must foreseen a grounding device on the towing rope or on the
conductors.
