Safe Operating Practices
Your Fiber Optic Cable Puller Trailer, as with all Condux products, is designed for
safe operation; however, general jobsite safety practices must be followed. In
addition, specific safety messages are printed throughout this manual and also
appear on safety labels on the product.
A. WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Read and understand all operating instructions and safety messages before
operating.
2. Wear protective safety equipment such as: hard hat, safety glasses, safety
shoes, work gloves.
3. The safe operation of this equipment requires that the operator(s) be on
stable footing.
4. Stay clear of cable or lines under tension.
5. Be aware of the location of all underground utilities in your work area.
6. No smoking or open flame in the work area. An explosion hazard exists as
the trailer houses a gasoline tank.
B. HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Escaping fluids under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal
injury. Observe the following precautions to avoid hydraulic hazards:
1. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Relieve pressure before
disconnecting hoses.
2. Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Do not use hands!
3. Do not exceed working pressure of hydraulic hoses.
4. Visually inspect hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
