Before starting an installation, the duct and cable need to be connected to the machine. The proce-
dure for changing the duct clamps and cable guides can be seen in section 7.2. Consult Appendix 1
for a list of changeable parts, if sizes are required which are not in the list speak to the GMP sales
team who will be happy to help.
Place the duct seal over the end of the duct and insert into machine as shown with duct approximately
halfway into the air chamber. If the duct is too close to the cable seal air flow into the duct will be restricted
but too far away and the cable has more chance to buckle in the air chamber. Due to this the duct distance
will vary slightly depending on duct and cable combination.
Close the duct clamp, position the swing bolt so that the wing nut will tighten clamp and tighten wing nut
until the duct is secure.
Ensure the belts are in the open position, to do this loosen thumb nut and move close are assemble to-
wards the airbox.
Place cables seal in groove.
Feed the cable through the short cable guide, belts, long cable guides, cable seals and around 3 foot into
the duct, in that order.
Close and set the clamping force of the belts, see section 7.4.
7.4 SETTING THE CLAMP FORCE
Close the drive roller assembly onto the cable as follows:
• The image above shows the clamp arm which is used to clamp the cable between the belts during
install.
•
As the clamp arm is moved around the quadrant the belts move together and apart. When the
clamp arm is furthest to the right, the gap between the belts is at a maximum and vice versa.
•
When preparing the machine to insert the cable, the clamp arm is positioned at its furthest point to
the right (rollers open). Once the cable has been positioned in the machine the rollers must be
closed on the cable in order to drive the cable. (And to stop the cable being dragged back out of
the machine by any tension in the cable).
•
The amount of pressure on the cable can be varied simply by loosening the thumb nut, moving the
clamp arm lever to the right or left; as required, and tightening the thumbscrew.
As more experience is gained
using the machine, the amount
of compression required will be-
come clear.
Note :
An alternative method of setting
the compression force is de-
tailed in the note at the end of
section 7.7.2.
