7.1 SETTING UP BLOWING AREA
7.1.1 Set up for installing cable with the machine mounted above ground:
Position the machine in line with the route of the duct.
Position the cable drum behind the machine and in line with the machine. See sketch below (this shows a
plan view of the recommended set up).
Ensure the machine is secure (either on its own stand or a separate suitable stand).
Ensure the machine is fitted with the appropriate guides and collets to suit the cable being installed and
ducts into which the cable is to be installed. (See Appendix 1 for details of interchangeable parts and
sections 7, 8 & 9 for procedures on how to fit these parts).
To set the machine up to install cable it will be necessary to:
• Select the appropriate torque setting for the cable being installed, if in doubt start with the low torque
setting.
• Fit the duct into which the cable is to be installed into the air box and duct clamp.
• Fit the cable through the machine and around 3 feet into the duct.
• Connect the air supply to the machine.
• Connect the electrical power input to the machine.
7.1.2 Set up for installing cable with the machine below ground:
The setup is similar to the set up for installing cable above ground, (described above) typically this type of
installation is demanded for “ series blowing ” i.e. when a length of cable is already installed, and the limit of
installation distance is reached. In such cases it is customary to couple a “ series machine ” sited down a
manhole some distance from the point of main installation. This machine operates in conjunction with the
machine sited at the main point of installation. The Hurricane blowing machine is ideally suited to this type
of operation, it may be coupled with a second machine to increase the distance a single cable can be in-
stalled without joins. The only difference between this set up, and the set up for installing cable with the
machine above ground, is that there will be no drum stand carrying the cable drum. The cable will be exit-
ing from one side of the manhole and blown into the duct at the other side of the manhole. The machine
should be aligned with both the incoming cable and the outgoing duct path, both side to side and up and
down.
NOTE: THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE SUBMERGED IN WATER.
If the manhole is full of water, it must be pumped out before placing the machine on the bottom of the hole.
