Undo the tube clamp and tube guide brackets in the fixed quadrant and unscrew and
retract the adjustable rollers on the rotating carousel.
Pull a suitable length of cable from the drum and through the 15’ piece of innerduct
and insert the loop through the gap in the fleeter and clockwise around the central
frame of the cable storage basket. See Fig 2.
Clamp the innerduct, into tube clamp on the fixed quadrant. The tube can protrude
through the clamp to within 1 to 1-1/2” (30-40 mm) of the rollers. Note: The correct
size of clamp collets to suit the tube need to be fitted to the tube clamp. Various sizes
are available, They must be made available for use prior to commencement of the in-
stallation. The tube needs to be located in the tube guides mounted on the fixed
quadrant, unscrew the wing nut and slide the retaining plate out of the way, the tube is
located in the guide bracket, the retaining plate is moved back into position and held
in position by tightening the wing nut.
Adjust each cable guide roller in turn on the rotating quadrant ensuring the cable is lo-
cated into the vee of the rollers. Ensure that each roller rotates when the securing
wing nut is tightened, there should be a gap of approximately 1/32” (1 mm) between
the rollers.
Note: Both rollers on the second set of guide rollers down from the top of the rotating
carousel are adjustable, they need to be set up to suit the diameter and bending radi-
us of the cable, ensure that when set there is a gap of 1/32” (1 mm) between the roll-
ers, this will allow the rollers to rotate.
4.3 When the cable has been placed in the fleeter an end will be available as per
(Figure 3), remove the 15’ piece of innerduct from blower and replace with a short
length of innerduct, to protect the cable before installation into the second duct. (Note
the slave tube attached to the cable at 4.1 may be used). The cable may now be
blown into the second duct using the correct equipment to prevent over tensioning
and sharp bending of the cable to complete the installation through the two ducts as
per (Figure 4).
