Installing cable.
The machine is fitted with a range of controls to help the operator to install cable in the minimum time with
the least risk of causing damage to the cable or duct.
These controls are identified and their function is described below.
Speed control knob:
This valve controls the motor speed, turn
this clockwise to increase the speed of
the belts (and the cable). Turn counter
counter
-
clockwise to reduce the speed.
This knob can also be used to maintain
correct hydraulic pressure (driving force).
Should the pressure start to rise towards
the cut
-
off level the operator can reduce
the speed of the machine, this will also
reduce the hydraulic pressure.
On/Off hydraulic control lever:
This lever controls the flow of the hydraulic oil. Moving the lever to the
‘
OFF
’
position bypasses the oil and
stops the motor; moving the lever to the
‘
ON
’
position allows flow to the motor.
Emergency stop:
In the event that an emergency situation occurs and
the machine needs to be stopped and prevented
from restarting, this button will ground the spark plug
on the engine powering the hydraulic power pack.
The power pack can only be restarted once the
emergency stop has been reset, by twisting the but-
ton counter
-
clockwise.
Speed/Distance indicator:
This device will measure and display the distance
travelled by the cable and also the speed at which
the cable is travelling. To toggle between speed and
distance press the right
-
hand
‘
Green
’
button twice.
Pressing the right hand
‘
Green
’
button once shows
what is being displayed, either speed or distance.
Tacho represents speed, Count represents distance. While displaying the distance only it is possible to
reset by pressing the left hand
‘
Red
’
button.
