Safety Precautions regarding highly heated exhaust gas o The machine is equipped with Diesel Particulate Filter (hereafter DPF). DPF is a device to purify the soot in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas temperature may increase during the filter cleaning/purification process (regeneration / ReGen). Do not bring any combustible material close to the outlet of the exhaust pipe. Be aware of nearby combustible materials that may be inadvertently heated by exhaust gases. (See Section about DPF Codes). o When there is brush, trees, dry leaves or other combustible matter near the job site, be aware that the DPF regeneration may present a fire hazard. The system can be set to disable DPF ReGen if necessary. Precautions regarding sensitive electrical components and welding o The machine is equipped multiple electronic controllers and electronically actuated hydraulics. Electrical surges to the machine can damage the sensitive electronic controls. Do not weld on the unit without disconnecting the batteries and all electronic controllers. Locate the weld grounding wire as absolutely near as possible to welding point. Contact Sherman+Reilly for instructional supplement regarding welding on the unit. Electrical components damaged by welding are not covered under warranty. Precautions regarding corrosion Regularly inspect the unit for corrosion. To help prevent rust on the unit, it is important to regularly apply a corrosion inhibitor / lubricant like TC‐11™ Corrosion Inhibitor or equivalent to exposed metal as well as fairlead rollers and pins. If the unit is stored outdoors, a corrosion inhibiting product should be reapplied every 6 months. The product should also be reapplied if a visual inspection indicates that surface areas are no longer glossy. The friction between the ropes and the surface of the reel and rollers can accelerate the degradation of any corrosion inhibiting coating, therefore, the reel and rollers should be examined after each use to determine if reapplication would be beneficial. Precautions regarding rope, rope eyes, grips, and swivels. All mechanical components are subject to wear. Worn components do not have the same Maximum Load Limit rating as do new components. The total responsibility for the inspection, maintenance, lubrication, and continued use is entirely up to the purchaser/user. Remember, visual inspection may not be sufficient and examination methods such as X‐ray, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, dielectric resistance and others, might be required to establish the present integrity of the product. External factors will affect the ...

Safety In the Event a Fire Occurs Most Sherman + Reilly™ equipment comes standard with a fire extinguisher mounted somewhere on the equipment for quick access by the operator. However, should a fire occur with S+R equipment; the operator should only utilize the provided fire extinguisher, if trained in its use, if safe to do so, if in accordance with employer policy, and in these described situations: a. To save your own life, if in jeopardy from fire. b. To save someone else’s life, if in jeopardy because of a fire‐ but only if safe to do so. c. To put out small equipment fires to avoid further damage to equipment or prevent a dangerous explosion, but only if safe to do so. Turn the starting switch to OFF position, and stop the engine or use one of the Emergency Stop buttons to shut down. Use the handrails and steps to escape from the machine. Do not jump off the machine, unless necessary to avoid electrical shock; there is the danger of falling, which could cause serious personal injury. The fumes generated by a fire contain harmful elements that are unhealthy when inhaled. Do not breathe the fumes. CAUTION: Operators should exercise caution when attempting to put out fires, as the provided extinguisher is only intended to suppress small localized fires, and is not intended to put out or “fight” large scale fires, should one occur. With the presence of flammable fluids and other operational environment factors, even small fires can grow out of control quickly‐ operators must maintain awareness of these factors. ...
Safety Emergency Stop Procedure In the event of an emergency, the operator must be aware of how to shut down the machine so as to avoid any additional injuries or equipment damage. In these emergency situations, the lives of lineman, work crews, surrounding bystanders, as well as the operator may become at risk‐ dependent upon the severity of the situation. As an operator in these situations, the level of operating knowledge and proficiency can be tested. These factors alone make this procedure one of the most important to know. The first step of an emergency shut down during operations is to de‐energize the drive system/engine and stop all equipment rotation and power as quickly as possible. This is done by pushing one of the installed Emergency Stop Buttons located on sides of the machine or on the control panel. Know the location of these E‐stop switches. If the Emergency Stop Button is pushed during operations and other machines/operators are being utilized in tandem or sync with your machine, notify them as quickly as possible that an emergency has occurred and advise to halt rotations. Quickly assess situation and assist any injured personnel to get free from hazards‐ only if safe to do so. Notify proper authorities and get help. Follow all employer emergency procedures. 12 ...

Precautions When Running Engine Inside Building The engine exhaust gas contains substances that may damage your health and even cause death. Start or operate the engine in a place where there is good ventilation. If the engine or machine must be operated inside a building or underground, where the ventilation is poor, take steps to ensure that the engine exhaust gas is removed and that ample fresh air is brought in. Investigate and Confirm Jobsite Conditions On the jobsite, there can be various hidden dangers that may lead to serious personal injury or death. Before starting operations, always check the following to confirm that there is no danger on the jobsite: Always be careful when performing operations near materials such as shingled roofs, dry timber, dry leaves, or dry grass because they are easily combustible and may cause fire. Check the terrain and condition of the ground at the jobsite, and determine the safest method of operation. Do not operate in a dangerous area where landslides or falling rock may occur. If water lines, gas lines, or high‐voltage electrical lines may be buried under the jobsite, contact the appropriate authority to identify their locations, and take care not to damage any of these lines. In particular, if you need to operate on an active right‐of‐way, protect pedestrian and cars by designating a person for jobsite traffic duty or by installing fences around the jobsite. Precautions When Working on Loose Ground Avoid operating the machine near the edge of cliffs, bluffs, road edges, and deep ditches. The ground may be weak in such areas. If the ground should collapse under the weight or vibration of the ...
Safety Positioning the Machine WARNING: DO NOT OVERSTRESS THE HITCH AND TRAILER TONGUE. The trailer frame is not designed to lift or support the weight of the pulling vehicle. If the unit is to remain connected to the towing vehicle, extreme caution should be taken to assure that the pintle‐eye hitch does not lift the towing vehicle in conjunction with leveling and lifting with the trailer’s hydraulic jacks. Overloading the pintle‐eye hitch connection and trailer tongue can cause structural damage to the trailer frame. Sherman+Reilly will not be responsible to damage to the trailer caused by vertical lifting stress caused by downward forces on the pintle eye connection. The driver/operator should position the unit in a suitable location where it will be free from obstructions and clear of any apparent hazards. For overhead pulling, the unit should be approximately three times (3X) the distance of the lead block height. Example: If the lead block is 40 feet high, it is recommended that the unit be positioned approximately 120 feet from the base of the pole whenever possible. By allowing the distance to the lead block as specified, this reduces the direct downward forces that would be created other‐ wise. In some situations, however, it may not be possible to achieve these distances. (see note below). NOTE: In some situations, (i.e., due to rough terrain), it may not be possible to achieve safe distances from the lead block. In such situations, operators should establish as much distance as possible from the lead block and remain aware of the increased down forces during o perations. The unit should be leveled as much as possible, centered on the lead block, and parallel to the line being pulled prior to beginning operations. CAUTION: All jacks should be extended for stabilization, and the machine must be leveled prior to conducting operations. The operator must chock the trailer wheels prior to operations and any time the vehicle is parked. All appropriate grounding, anchoring, and protective equipment must be installed and secured to machine prior to operations. ...
Controls General Overview The Sherman+Reilly™ Revolution Series PLW‐200X Four‐Drum Turret Puller is a multi‐purpose pilot line winder capable of pulling up to 2,000lbs.

Controls Joystick Control The function of the joystick is dependent upon which operational mode is selected on the system control. Turret rotation, drum/reel rotation, and the levelwind arms are all controlled by the joystick. The hydraulic brake is set when the joystick is in the center/ neutral position. Controlling the Hydraulic Brake Function CAUTION: Once the hydraulic brake is released, the trigger must be held when pushing the joystick forward or pulling backward from center/neutral to keep the brake from reapplying. The trigger is used to release the brake and to keep the brake released when passing forward through center neutral. Once the joystick is forward or backward of center neutral, the trigger should be released. CAUTION: Before handling any pilot, pulling, or conductor lines attached to this machine, the operator must ensure that the hydraulic drum brake is set and the joystick is in the neutral position with the trigger released. WARNING: Once the hydraulic brake is released, the operator should release the joystick trigger. This ensures that if the brake is needed for a rapid halt and the operator returns the joystick to the neutral position, the trigger will not be inadvertently pressed preventing the brake from engaging. WARNING: To avoid potential personal injury and/or equipment damage, ensure that any vehicle actively pulling out line has completely stopped before returning the joystick to the center neutral position and setting the brake. Limit pull off vehicle speed to account for sudden accidental changes in line tension. If ...
Controls Turret Rotation Control o Press the soft key under [TRT] to activate. o Turret Rotation is controlled by the thumb rocker switch on the joystick when the Control System is in [TURRET ACTIVE] Mode. o Pressing the joystick rocker switch will cause turret rotation. o The horn will sound when in the Turret Active mode. o NOTE: This mode cannot be activated with the levelwinds in use. CAUTION: To avoid falling from the unit, the operator must be seated in the operator’s chair while rotating the turret. Levelwind Control The levelwinds are also controlled using the joystick thumb rocker switch. o To activate either levelwind, press the momentary soft key switch associated with that levelwind. o The active levelwind will be indicated by a green box on the control panel. o The levelwind rocker switch is proportional – the harder it is pressed, the faster the levelwind will move. o NOTE: Only one levelwind can be active at a time. ...
Controls Line Tension Control This control determines the tension to the line as it leave and enters the drum/reel. This is achieved by regulating the overall torque applied to the drive system. As the overall torque is increased, so does the overall system pressure. By monitoring the overall system pressure, the operator can increase line tension by rotating the knob clockwise, and decrease the tension by rotating the knob counterclockwise. The line tension control knob is equipped with a position locking ring, allowing the operator to set and lock the tension knob at a set interval, and thus preventing accidental rotation of the knob. NOTE: If the line tension control knob is rotated all the way counterclockwise to the far most Decreased position, it may prevent the engaged drum/reel from spinning‐ even if the Line Speed is increased. The operator will need to rotate the knob clockwise slowly until the system pressure is enough to sustain drum rotation. Engine Throttle Control Engine throttle control is managed automatically by the control system depending upon the power demand. o The engine idles at 1300 RPM. o The default for the system is 2700 RPM when the joystick trigger is depressed. o The RPM on the engine can also be increased or decreased from the System Control Panel Engine Information Screen in 100 RPM increments, depending upon the power demands of the pull. o To adjust the engine “working” RPM higher or lower than the default, depress the joystick trigger then use the Up/Down arrows on the Control Panel. This will set the “working” RPM. When the engine is re‐started, the working RPM setting will return to the default 2700. Drum Drive Coupling Control Levers The four (4) control levers – two (2) on each side of the control panel ‐ engage and disengage the drum/reel drive couplings. The coupling must be engaged and locked before the drum/reel will rotate. The drums/reels are engaged by pushing down the lever handle, pushing the lever all the ...
Controls Safety Brake Override The Safety Brake override switch allows the operator to manually engage the drive motor brake by placing the switch in the Stop position. The Safety Brake overrides the Joystick operation and will hydraulically brake any drum that is engaged with the hydraulic engagement system. Also, the Safety Brake may be activated when the operator sets the initial tension setting. System Gauge Pressure This gauge shows the overall pressure in the main hydraulic system. This gauge is also used to measure the line tension during pulling operations. With a single drum engaged in normal operating conditions, the system pressure gauge will reflect a higher pressure as the line tension is increased. The following table can be used to estimate pulling tension. NOTICE: This chart is for reference purposes only, as a guidance to approximate Line Tension at a given System Pressure and Drum Diameter. CAUTION: Confirm that the drum engagement lever is locked into placed before pulling. Pushed the lever forward, away from the operator, while also pressing down, to engage the drum coupling and lock it in place. The operator can confirm the drum coupling is locked by pulling back without pushing down ‐ the lever should remain locked in place. 22 ...
Controls Payout Brake Pressure Control Switches Each drum/reel payout brake can be set to the amount of tension/drag desired by pushing and holding the corresponding control switch. Each control switch operates in a rocking pattern depressing upward for increased pressure and downward for decreased pressure. The operator can press and hold or knock the switch in either direction to obtain the desired brake pressure. The payout brake system has its own independent hydraulic system that is battery powered, allowing full use without running the engine. NOTICE: The payout brake should be engaged while transporting the machine to prevent the drum/reel rotation. Payout Brake Pressure Gauges These gauges measure the amount of pressure applied to the payout brake caliper. This measurement along with the table below gives the operator a reference when setting the payout brake pressure during payout operations.

Controls Payout Operations NOTICE: Before beginning payout operations, the operator must perform all pre‐operation inspections. (See Pre‐Operation Inspection Checklist) Pre‐operation inspections are important for the safe operation of the machine and are required under OSHA Regulations. After initial start‐up and payout setup procedures are completed, the engine can be turned off during payout operation. After the engine is turned off the hydraulic payout brake system will continue to function as normal, as it is not dependent upon the power of the engine. The independent hydraulic pump that actuates the drum payout brakes is powered directly from the battery. As the pressure is applied to the drum brakes, it is held in place by constant back pressure when the hydraulic motor is not engaged. Minimal operation and short cycle times of the drum payout brake pump help to ensure adequate battery charge. The operator can always start the engine to recharge the battery‐ if necessary. Further adjustment of payout brake may be required to prevent over‐spin of drum. The operator should continually monitor the payout brake pressure, and maintain contact with other machine/system operators and spotters to ensure that adequate line tensions is maintained. If brake pressure is not monitored and excessive slack is allowed to form in the line/rope, there can be a safety hazard‐ especially when conducting operations adjacent to or around energized lines. CAUTION: Before transitioning to pulling operations, and to prevent the line from continuing to payout or from paying out on its own, the operator must leave the payout brake applied until the drum drive coupling is engaged. Once the drum drive coupling is engaged the drum payout brake can be released, as the drive motor safety brake will hold pressure on the drum/line. Payout Operations – Non‐Powered Line can be pulled off or walked‐ off. The method is essentially a freewheel with a low‐tension payout brake. NOTE: When pulling the line of with the hydraulic motor disengaged, there is no counter to indicate line length. The unit should be positioned, anchored, and appropriately grounded. (See Positioning the Machine). If not done already, remove the rope from the Levelwind. The Levelwind out of the way, all the way to the side. If necessary, start the unit to move the Levelwind.

Each pulling drum has a drive coupling to engage and disengage the drum. For power assisted payout operations, select [PULL] mode on the system control panel. Power assisted payout is useful when manually “walking out” the line. 1) The unit should be positioned, anchored, level, and appropriately grounded. a. (See Positioning the Machine). 2) Perform Start‐Up Procedure. 3) If not done already, remove the rope from the Levelwind. 4) Check and adjust levelwind position as needed so that the levelwind does not interfere with Payout. (See instructions on regarding adjusting the levelwind) 5) Engage the manual payout brake coupler. 6) Begin payout operations by depressing the joystick trigger. Slowly push forward on the joystick, through neutral while still holding trigger. Once past center/neutral, the trigger should be release. Once the desired speed is reached, the joystick can be released. 7) Once the rope is paid out and operations have concluded, place the joystick control into the center neutral position with the trigger released, and ensure that the hydraulic drum brake is set. This will conclude payout operations. CAUTION: Before handling any pilot, pulling, or conductor lines attached to this machine, the operator must ensure that the hydraulic drum brake is set and the joystick is in the neutral position with the joystick trigger released. CAUTION: Never payout all of the rope off of the drum. Leave at least one layer of rope wrapped on the ...
Controls Pulling The unit should be positioned, anchored, level, and appropriately grounded. All four pulling drums are driven by one common hydraulic drive assembly through a chain a sprocket final drive arrangement. Each pulling drum has a drive coupling to engage and disengage the drum. CAUTION: After completing payout operations, and before transitioning to pulling operations, the operator must ensure that the line doesn’t continue to payout under any existing line tension. Therefore, the operator must leave the payout brake applied until all lines, ropes, or conductor are secured and tied‐ off. Secure all lines before engaging or disengaging the drums. 1) Ensure all lines, ropes, or conductor are securely tied‐off before engaging or disengaging the drums. 2) Release the Safety Brake and the Payout Brakes enough to rotate the drum(s) for engagement. 3) Engage the drum drive coupler and lock into place for the pulling drum(s) being used. CAUTION: Confirm that the drum engagement lever is locked into placed before pulling. 4) Once the drum drive coupler is engaged, fully release the drum payout brake. 5) Place the pulling rope through the levelwind head and secure all rollers and retaining pins. Activate the levelwind and position the levelwind so that it is centered over the exit rope in line with the pulling line as it enters the reel. (See Levelwind Control). 7) Pull in any unwanted slack in the line by squeezing the joystick trigger and slowly pulling back on the joystick to begin drum rotation. Return the joystick to center/neutral to stop rotation. 8) Set the Safety Brake switch to the BRAKE / STOP position . (Red LED illuminates) 9) After taking in the slack line and setting the Safety Brake, the tie offs can be released. The unit is now set up for pulling. ...
Controls To Pre‐set a System Pressure / Line Tension for Pulling 1) Make sure joystick is in the center/neutral position. 2) Set the Safety Brake to the Brake position. 3) Turn the Line Tension Control knob all the way counter clockwise (CCW) in the DECREASE direction. 4) Pull the joystick trigger and pull back slightly on the joystick to engage the hydraulic. 5) Slowly turn the line tension control clockwise (CW) to increase line pressure to the desired setting on the System Pressure gauge. NOTE: There should be no rotation of any drums. You will notice as you turn the line tension control knob the system pressure gauge will start showing the pressure. As you turn the line tension control knob to increase or decrease, the System Pressure gauge will reflect the pressure. 6) Once you have turned the line tension to the desired setting on the gauge, return joystick to center / neutral position. 7) Do not make any adjustments to line tension control after returning the joystick to center / neutral, or this will change the set pressure point. 8) The system is now preset at the desired system pressure / estimated line tension. 9) Once operations commence, the operator can adjust as needed. ...
Controls Emergency Manual Overrides / [Limp Home] Mode In the event there is a failure of electronic controls, “Limp Home” Mode may be utilized to operate the reels and levelwinds from the Emergency Manual Reel and Levelwind Controls. This mode should only be utilized if necessary to return the worksite to a safe operational situation. To activate this mode, go to the SETUP screen, move the cursor to highlight the [LIMP HOME] mode. Pres OK to Enter this command. A confirmation screen will ask the operator to confirm.

Controls Post‐Operation Inspection Checklist When parking the machine, the wheels should be chocked Check engine oil, radiator coolant, and hydraulic fluid levels‐ to ensure no leakage after operations. Store all grips, blocks, and other tools/equipment used during operations back into the tool box. Then close and lock tool box. Secure all rope/conductor ends to the reel using a tie‐ off rope around the reel or an industrial zip tie. Remove the keys from the control panel, and shut and lock the control panel box. Lock all engine panels. Remove any trash, rags, or other loose material from the machine. Storage: For periods of extended storage without use, the batteries will need to be periodically charged. A low amperage “trickle” charger can be used periodically to maintain proper battery charge during periods of extended storage. During extended storage, the trailer tire pressures should be periodically monitored, as heavy trailer weight on low tires can create permanent buckling of the tire sidewall resulting in the need for tire replacement. Always see the specified air psi. ratings listed on the tire sidewall. NOTE: It is necessary to open the engine covers to check the fluid levels. Be sure all covers are closed and latched in position properly before transport or operating the machine. If machine is to be parked in a publicly accessible area, the engine compartments must be secured. NOTE: Post‐operation checklist should be conducted in accordance with OSHA requirements, to include OSHA Standard‐ 29 CFR, Part 1926.600 or subsequent. NOTE: To help prevent rust on the unit, it is important to regularly apply a corrosion inhibitor / lubricant like TC‐11 Corrosion Inhibitor or equivalent to exposed metal as well as fairlead rollers and pins. If the unit is stored outdoors, the product should be reapplied every 6 months. The product should also be reapplied if a visual inspection indicates that surface areas are no longer glossy. The friction between the cable and the surface of the reel and rollers can accelerate the degradation of any corrosion inhibiting coating, therefore, the reel and rollers should be examined after each use to determine if reapplication would be ...

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Re‐Generation Information PLW‐200X employs a T4 Diesel Engine that utilizes a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to remove soot and undesired combustion gas from the exhaust system. This filter must be periodically cleaned. During normal operation, the regeneration (ReGen) of the DPF occurs automatically. However, under certain conditions (particularly when the engine is lightly loaded for long periods of time) or the unit was shut down before ReGen was completed, the operator may have to instruct the control system to perform a manual cleaning of the DPF system. A DPF Icon is the initial warning that soot levels are rising in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) ReGen should occur automatically without interference to operations. If, however, the engine is shut down before ReGeneration is completed, the next time the engine is started, ReGeneration will be required, and can be initiated by pressing the key associated with the ReGen icon. NOTICE: For ANY regeneration to take place, the coolant temperature must be at or above 160°F (71°C). If not, the ReGen will not take place. There are three (3) types of regeneration modes: 1) PASSIVE – This means the engine is working hard enough to create sufficient exhaust temperatures so that regeneration is taking place without any external assistance. This goes on without any operator intervention; in fact, the operator may not even be aware of it unless he notices the high exhaust temperature light illuminated. 2) ACTIVE – In this situation, the conditions are close to being correct for a ReGen but the exhaust temp is not quite high enough so the ECU injects some fuel into the exhaust stream to raise the temperature and allow ReGen. Again, this goes on without the need for any outside intervention from external controls and would only be noticed by someone monitoring the exhaust gas temp light. 3) PARKED – This is the one that requires “special conditions” be met for the ReGen to occur. The engine must be at DPF level 2, 3 or 4 and the park and neutral signals must be sent so the ECU knows the engine is not under any load. (The engine may need to be at LOW idle, which varies from engine to engine). Once those conditions are met, the operator must press the active ReGen button and the control system starts the ReGen. If an automatic ReGen has not occurred or completed, the operator should immediately perform a Parked, Manual REGEN. DPF level must be at Level 2, 3, or 4 to perform a Parked Regeneration. ...
