1.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE USED ONLY BY PERSONNEL WHO HAVE
BEEN GIVEN THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING, AND WHO ARE
COMPETENT TO USE IT.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO OPERATORS
OF THIS EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES, FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WORK AREA AND GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read and understand the operation and maintenance manual supplied with this
equipment. Keep it in a convenient place for future reference.
2. Keep children and untrained personnel away from this equipment whilst in
operation.
3. Keep all guards and safety devices in place. Do not operate this equipment with
guards removed or damaged.
4. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts, especially at cable
entry points.
5. Always stop the machine and isolate compressed air and electrical services to carry
out lubrication and servicing.
6. Check machine before starting for worn or damaged parts. Check for signs of
loose nuts and bolts etc.
7. If machine is left unattended, ensure that unauthorised use is prevented.
8. Never leave the machine unattended whilst in use.
9. Consider the use of safety barriers, especially when used in public places, observe
all statutory requirements for working environments.
10. Beware of pinch points involved with rotating components,
11. Beware of hot surfaces, machine uses compressed air.
12. When operating machine always wear appropriate safety clothing, ear defenders,
eye protection, hard hat, safety shoes and leather gloves, machine operates with
compressed air at up to 15 Bar.
13. Prior to installation ensure the tube route is connected properly.
14. Beware of exposed electrical contacts. Do not touch, or allow metal objects to
come into contact.
15. Machine may cause additional fire hazard if involved in an existing fire due to
compressed air.

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 pressurised 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, blow air in the far end 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 rollers have been closed on to the cable. Do not turn the air on until a
reasonable length of cable (50m) 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
atmospheres, 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.
If the connecting plug on the power lead to the generator / (or supply) supplied with the
Breeze machine is unsuitable and requires replacement, the new plug must be
correctly connected observing the colour codes as below.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO ENSURE THAT THE
CONNECTIONS MEET THE ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS FOR THE RELEVANT
COUNTRY.

GENERAL PNEUMATIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The CBS Fibre Optical Cable Blowing Machine is a pneumatic device, using
pressurised air to project cable at high velocities. Please observe the following
precautions when operating the Cable Blowing Machine:-
Compressed air can cause flying debris. This could cause personal injury. Always
wear personal protective equipment.
Ensure no personnel are in the manhole at the far end of the cable run. Severe
personal injury may result.
Never open the air chamber when pressurised.
Only authorised, fully trained personnel should operate the air compressor.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The machine has electronic and electrical power and control circuits. Electric shock
hazards exist that could result in severe personal injury. Observe the following
precautions to avoid electrical hazards:
Do not operate in water. Do not expose the machine to rain.
Do not remove cover of electronic control assembly. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

DISCLAIMER
CBS Products Ltd takes care in the design of its products to
insure that the cable is protected during installation. Due to the
variety and different methods of cable manufacture the
responsibility of checking the cable compatibility with the
equipment lies with the operator. Therefore, CBS products
cannot accept liability for any damage to the cable.

3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CBS Breeze machine is designed to install small diameter cable into underground
tubes.
The machine uses a DC motor and reduction gearing to drive a pair of compliant rollers
(both rollers are driven).
The rollers are covered with a compliant coating to prevent damage to the cable. A
range of different coatings is available depending on the surface texture of the cable
being installed. The rollers may be changed quickly using one simple tool. The
pressure the rollers apply to the cable may be set between zero and maximum.
During installation, the torque applied to the cable by the rollers can be adjusted to
prevent the cable buckling and to prevent damage to the cable. A full range of
accessories is available to allow the machine to handle a wide range of cables and
tubes. This machine has the added function of high/low torque selection; this has been
developed to give greater sensitivity when operating in the low torque region aiding the
installation of small cables (Ø<2.5mm, 0.01”).
As pictured above, the machine may be placed on the ground or on a support to bring
the cable to a suitable height. A separate reinforced transit housing is available, this
will protect the machine from damage during transit and can be used as a support for
the machine when being used to install cable.
