Fit the tube into which the cable is to be installed into the air box and tube
clamp.
Slide a tube seal, sized for the
tubing you are using, over the end
of the tube.
Fit the tube about half way into
the air box housing as shown in
the photo, positioning the tube
seal so that it sits against the seal
face.
Positioning the tube further into
the air box helps prevent the buck-
ing of smaller fiber.
Once the tube has been posi-
tioned, the tube clamp may be
closed. Securely tighten clamp
with swing bolt. The tube is now
secure.
Cut and split a short length of tube to use as
an in-feed guide (this tube need only be split if
blowing a cable mid-span; sometimes called
series blowing). This should be inserted in the
in-feed guide clamp. (In order to give the best
support for the incoming cable, it may be help-
ful if the end of the tube is cut off at an angle
to match the angle on the in-feed guide
clamp. This short length of tube will act as a
guide to feed the incoming cable into the
measuring system and into the in-feed guide.
If necessary a length of smaller diameter tube
may be fitted inside this tube to act as a guide
for smaller diameter cables.
