E. TRACTION CONTROL
Once activated, the traction control will stop the blower’s tractor drive if track speed
goes above the maximum speed setting of 300 ft/min. (91 m/min.), or if the
slippage allowance is exceeded. Slippage is measured by comparing the speed of
the tracks with the speed of the cable being installed.
If slippage or speed parameters are exceeded, the display will show one of the
following screeens:
SLIP ERROR – follow on-screen instructions and press
RESET at bottom of screen
to return to operation (Figure 66B).
HI-SPEED ERROR – follow on-screen instructions and press
RESET at bottom of
screen to return to operation (Figure 66C).
DRIVE will be in OFF position after RESET. Press ON/F2 to resume cable
installation.
F. OPERATION
1. Re-connect hose from air compressor and attach all safety clips. Start the Air
Compressor and Hydraulic Power Supply. Refer to respective manufacturers
operating instructions for these units.
2. Make sure Electronics DRIVE is switched to ON. ON will be highlighted.
Introduce a small amount of air to the system in order to straighten out the
cable carrier inside the conduit. Turn the hydraulics to the “on” position
(Figure 67). Slowly rotate the flow control knob, counterclockwise to engage
tractor drive and increase speed (Figure 68). Push cable 50 to 100 feet
(15 to 30 m) into Conduit.
3. Slowly open the Air Control Valve to allow air flow to the Air Block by turning
flow control handle clockwise to the 3 o’clock position so it is in line with the air
compressor hose (Figure 69).
4. Maintain control of cable reel to ensure smooth, stable flow. Failure to do so
may cause cable to unwind too quickly. Continue to control cable speed with
the flow control knob.
