16. No personnel are to be in manholes or ducts when the Cable Blowing Machine is being
operated.
17. The machine must be operated on firm ground.
18. Stay clear of cables or lines under tension.
19. Stay clear of pressurized air line and tube.
20. Only use the machine for its intended purpose. Do not use the roller drive without the air
chamber to push or to retrieve cable or blow air in the far end of tube to help cable
recovery.
21. Do not place cable drum too close to the Cable Blowing Machine.
22. Do not tamper with pressure relief valves or pressure reducing valves.
23. The compressed air supply must not be allowed to enter the air chamber or tube before
the drive rollers have been closed on to the cable. Do not turn the air on until a reasonable
length of cable (165 ft) has been installed into the tube.
24. Ensure the cable drum rotates freely on its stand, the cable should leave from the top of
the drum.
25. The cable should enter the machine in a clean and dry condition. In damp, dusty atmos-
pheres, the cable should be cleaned continuously as it enters the machine.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, AS THE CABLE
COULD BE EJECTED FROM THE CABLE BLOWING MACHINE WITH HIGH
FORCE AND VELOCITY.
