Fit the cable through the machine.
It is possible to insert the cable in the machine in two different ways.
Method 1:
This method is only suitable if the machine has been previously set up with the correct cable guide and ca-
ble collets to suit the cable being installed, see sections 8 & 9 for the procedure for changing the guides.
Connect the two hydraulic hoses and the emergency stop cable to the power pack or hydraulic power
source. Ensure the plug to socket & socket to plug connections are correctly made.
Turn the speed control knob
all the way to minimum.
Turn the adjustment wheel fully
counter
-
clockwise to fully open
the drive belts
Select the appropriate split cable
seal (see appendix 1) and position
it in the groove in the cable collet.
Turn to hydraulic control valve
to the
‘
ON
’
position.
Slowly turn the speed control
knob clockwise until the belts
are just moving.
Replace top half of the cable
collet
Take the cable to be installed
and pass it through the cable
guide insert so that the end is
between the belts.
Close the belts (using the ad-
justment wheel) gently until the
cable is gripped (there is no
need to apply the full installa-
tion pressure to the cable at
this stage)
The cable should now feed slowly
through the belts, cable seal, air
box and into the duct.
Turn to hydraulic control valve to the
‘
OFF
’
position. Close and tighten the thumb nuts securing the airbox.
