8. Blower operations
1. Verify adjustable push force
Set the pushing force for the specific cable, recommended by the cable manufacturer. If crash test has
been performed, verify adjustable pushing force is set to the established crash test value and speed is
set at maximum.
2. Engage wheel drive
The wheel drive can be operated in forward. For installation, engage the wheel drive in forward by
depr button. Install the fiber into the duct using push only until the installation has slowed.
3. Engage air
Slowly open the air control valve to allow air flow to the air block. Do not apply maximum air pressure
and flow at initial air engagement. Do not open the air supply before adequate fiber has been pushed
in (>100M).
IMPORTANT
Do not exceed 16 bars when operating the unit.
Forced air creates flying debris.
Always wear personal protective equipment.
4. Adjust speed
Use the + and – buttons to adjust the drive speed. Activate the machine operation by p. The
machine starts in a smooth way, ramping up the speed and pushing force gently, to the set value.
Pushing the – button will decrease speed and force. Match the amount of compressed air being used, in
gently steps, so that forces are working together, not against each other.
5. Install fiber
It may be helpful to guide/apply back tension to the fiber using your hand at the fiber entrance of the
machine to maintain control over the fiber. Always use a cloth or napkin in order to secure clean fiber
cable enter into the machine. This will decrease the daily work for cleaning of measure and drive wheel,
cable guides and duct clamp compartment and also prevent dust, dirt and moisture/water to enter
the machine.

2.
Insert the fiber and seal inside the pipe clamp as it would be for the actual installation.
3.
Install a 1 to 2 m test length of pipe into the V0 HD clamp and insert clamp into the air block.
4.
Block the end of the test length of pipe.
5.
Tighten the wheel pressure on to the fiber with the wheel drive engaged in the forward direction
until the fiber starts to install.
6.
Ram the fiber into the blocked end of the pipe.
7.
Wheel should stop in the fiber before the fiber folds over.
8.
Reduce the pushing force on the fiber until the wheel stops.
9.
Repeat step 6-8 until the fiber folds. This is your push force slip limit.
10.
Loosen up the wheel on the fiber a quarter turn and perform test once more to confirm no fold
over has occurred. KEEP THIS SETTING APPLIED TO THE FIBER FOR ACTUAL INSTALLATION!
11.
Swap out test length of pipe with actual installation pipe and proceed to operating the
V0 HD.
