8.2 INSERTING THE INSERTION TUBE
INTO THE MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT
BEING BORESCOPED
Inserting the insertion tube
Make sure the insertion tube and bending section are straight before starting
the inspection.
DO NOT attempt to articulate the bending section with the joystick while
the insertion tube is coiled, as this will result in breakage of the articulation
control wires.
• After the insertion tube enters the inspection port, adjust the brightness as
necessary and use the LCD monitor to see the internal view.
• Manipulate the joystick as needed in order to steer the insertion tube and
camera/LED module to the inspection target.
REMINDER
STOP IMMEDIATELY if the joystick control mechanism does not respond to
normal inputs or any abnormality occurs during operation. Move the joystick
to the center position and carefully extract the insertion tube from of the
inspection area.
8.2.1 EX TR AC TING THE INSERTION TUBE
1. Move the joystick to the center/neutral position.
2. Withdraw the insertion tube slowly, being careful to hold on to it with one
hand so that it does not drop after it exists the inspection access port.
WARNING
• Do not remove the insertion tube when the bending section is at an angle.
Doing so could damage the bending section and/or the equipment being
inspected.
• If the insertion tube becomes stuck during the extraction, gently rotate
the joystick until it becomes dislodged, and then pull the insertion tube
out. Never yank or forcefully remove the insertion tube.
