Handheld Blower Operating Instructions
1. Station an observer with a 2-way communication device, at the far
end of the Conduit, where the cable carrier will exit.
2. Re-connect hose from air compressor and attach all safety clips. Start
the air compressor. Refer to respective manufacturers operating
instructions for these units.
3. Slowly open the Air Control Valve to allow airflow to the Handheld
Blower by turning the flow control valve hand to the 6 o’clock
position.
4. Maintain control of the cable reel to ensure smooth, stable flow.
Failure to do so may cause cable to unwind to quickly. Continue to
control cable speed with the flow control knob.
!WARNING: Never wrap line around your hand, arm, foot or leg.
Severe personal injury or death could result from entanglement.
!CAUTION: Always wear protective equipment: hard hat, safety
glasses, safety shoes and work gloves.
5. Turn off the Air Control Valve immediately when the observer
indicates the cable carrier has exited the Conduit (air pressure will
decrease sharply).
6. Turn off compressed air by closing the Air Control Valve at the
Handheld Blower (See Figure 24). Shut off air at the compressor and
decompress air hose. Depressurize the Handheld Blower by turning
the air control handle on. Remove air hose when system is relieved
of pressure.
!WARNING: Handheld Blower contains compressed air when
Handheld Blower is operated. Opening the Handheld Blower while
under pressure may cause serious personal injury. Ensure Handheld
Blower is depressurized before opening the Handheld Blower.
