4.0 Cable Threading and Operating Procedure
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL PERSONS USING, OPERATING OR MAINTAINING
THIS DEVICE BE FULLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT TO DO SO, AND HAVE
READ THE ENTIRE OPERATING MANUAL.
GMP CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
4.1 The first stage of the mid span installation should be to add 15’ (5m) length of tube
and connector between the blowing unit and the innerduct placed in the ground. (A
suitable slave length of tube may at this stage be placed between the cable drum and
the cable blower for use in installing the second length of cable). Installation should
then be completed as per diagram (Figure 1). i.e. cable blown through first duct with
cable for the second duct still on the drum.
4.2 The Cable Fleeter should be positioned adjacent next to the manhole and levelled
up by adjusting the feet until level. A level indicator is attached to the cable fleeter
frame. Note: The innerduct connected to the blower should be disconnected at the
manhole duct with sufficient cable being left between the manhole and the fleeting de-
vice to allow for any subsequent repositioning of the fleeting device when loaded with
cable.
The GMP Breeze cable blower machine should be positioned in line with the tube clamp
brackets on the fleeter.
The drum trailer or drum stand should be positioned approximately 15’ (5m) from the
cable blower, directly in line with the blower and the fleeter unit see (Figure 2).
