4.0 Trailer Chassis
The trailer unit is fitted with towing equipment to comply with D.O.T. Standards.
The towing bracket has hand operated adjustable height jockey wheel .
4.1 Maintenance
The tire pressure should be checked daily and should be set at 35 psi (2.4 bar).
Cable Storage Cassette
This assembly will not require any maintenance. Make sure it is kept free of ma-
terials which may cause damage to fiber cables during operation.
Rotating Cable Guide Carousel
This assembly must always be secured to prevent rotation prior to travelling with
trailer. Alternatively the securing device should always be removed prior to use,
and freedom to rotate checked.
Ensure rollers are free to rotate and are kept free of materials which may cause
damage to fiber cables during operation.
Ensure the guide retaining toggle clamps operate freely and are adjusted such
that the 2 guide halves are securely held together.
Fixed Cable Guide Quadrant
Ensure the rollers are free to rotate and are kept free from materials which may
cause damage to fiber optic cables during operation.
Ensure the guide retaining toggle clamps operate freely and are adjusted such
that the 2 halves are securely held together.
Maintenance
The main spindle bearings and the nylon roller bearings are all sealed for life
and maintenance should not be required. If however rollers become damaged or
do not run freely, it is essential the roller is replaced. The concept of operation
requires that the rollers are free running, otherwise friction can be induced into
the cable. This friction could potentially build up to cause the cable to be dam-
aged.
