HYDRA 985 The information, specifications, and illustrations in this manual are on the basis of information available at the time it was written. The specifications, torque values, pressures of operation, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service of the given product.
HYDRA 985 INTRODUCTION DIESEL ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS The Hogg & Davis, Inc HYDRA 985 Cable Reel Unit 3TNV88-BDSA General is an advanced design cable pulling trailer that Specification 36.0 HP (26.9 kW) @ 3000 rated rpm* provides tremendous pulling forces in a compact ____________________________________________________________________________ vehicle.
MAIN FRAME AND AXLE TRAILER ORIENTATION The main frame and axle carry the entire weight of the The HYDRA 985 is made up of four (4) major trailer and its payload. Constructed of heavy steel, the working components (see Fig.1) they are: main frame will provide many years of durable service and minimum maintenance.
The control panel has a variety of gauges and switches that control certain functions during the operation of the HYDRA 985. Here is a description of these controls. (Figure 2) A. Hydrastatic Pressure Gauge: This gauge alerts the operator to the system pressure at all times during operation.
HYDRA 985 POWER UNIT The Power Unit consists of the engine, Hydrostatic Transmission Drive Unit, Drive Rollers, Engine Controls, hydraulic reservoir and auxiliary power shaft. The power unit supplies power for all hydraulic functions and turns the reels to provide cable pulling. Pulling controls are located at the power unit, the rear curb side of the trailer.
HYDRA 985 JACKSTANDS JACKSTANDS ARE STABILIZING LEGS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE TRAILER. THE JACKSTANDS SHOULD BE USED DURING ALL PULLING OPERATIONS In Fig 5, the jack stand at the left is shown in the stowed or carried position. The jack stand at the right is shown in the down or pulling position.
MANUERVERING INSTRUCTIONS One of the main features of the HYDRA 985 is its ability to maneuver under its own power by use of the Powered Idler Wheel and the Steer Go System.
HYDRA 985 THE JOYSTICK The joystick is a two-axis control that controls both steering and motion of the idler wheel functions. The joystick is either mechanically linked or electronically controlled (depending on options) to hydraulic control valves. Mechanical valves are spring return to neutral. Electronic joysticks are also spring return to neutral.
HYDRA 985 BRAKE CONTROLLERS Brake controllers on the HYDRA 985 are what is commonly used in an air brake trailer. Figure 6 shows us the location of the following: C: The hand control located on the apex of the trailer...
HYDRA 985 TOOL CIRCUIT (OPTIONAL) Some trailers may be equipped with an optional hydraulic tool circuit. The circuit is designed for tools which are used intermittently or for short duration such as a pump or hydraulic cutters. It is NOT designed for uses of long or continuous duration such as hydraulic blowers or generators.
HYDRA 985 LEVELWIND OPERATIONS Some units are equipped with a Level wind System. This system is hydraulically actuated boom style level wind located at the rear of the trailer (Fig. 9) There are two switch locations to operate the level wind. They are at the main control panel and the rear control panel located at the curbside fender.
HYDRA 985 LEVELWIND COMPONENTS The following are the main components in the LW Assembly A. Hinge Pin B. Lower Boom Assembly C. Level wind cylinder D. Turnbuckle E. Hydraulic QD fittings F. Carriage Assembly G. Upper Boom Assembly H. Lock pin for Boom Assemblies...
HYDRA 985 PULLING PROCEDURES Although all jobs will vary, below is a basic description of how to operate the HYDRA 985. Please consult your Employers rules and regulations and always consult and follow guidelines set for by the IEEE. OVERHEAD WIRE The following is a basic description of how to set up and pull overhead wire.
HYDRA 985 UNDERGROUND PULLING 1. Position the trailer over the manhole (vault opening, etc). The best position for maximum pulling power is to position the reel DIRECTLY over the pull. 2. Lower trailer drawbar 3. Set Jack stands 4. Raise trailer drawbar to set pressure on the jack stands. It is not advised to remove the tires from the ground when setting the jack stands.
HYDRA 985 HYDRA 985 Lubrication The following lubrication instructions are offered as "rule of thumb". Precise lubrication instructions will vary with each usage of each unit. CHECK ALL LUBRICATIONS BEFORE EACH USE ENGINE: Consult Engine Manual for precise instructions. Unit is delivered by Hogg & Davis, Inc. with 10W40 oil.
HYDRA 985 JACKSTAND INSTALLATION When installing any model Hogg and Davis Jack stand, the following procedure should be Used. 1. Determine If stand Is left or right. Hole in side of stand should line up with holding lug on trailer when teeth of stand engage with spring loaded ratchet pawl.
HYDRA 985 DRIVE ROLLER MAINTENANCE The "heart" of any friction drive cable pulling machine is the rollers that transfers the power to the reel. This Is also usually the highest mortality Item on these units because they take the full brunt of all the pulling torque.
HYDRA 985 ACME ADJUSTING SCREW Ninety to ninety-five percent of all damage to the acme adjusting screws on the above machine Is in the form of bending. Since it is nearly impossible to straighten them to work properly, it is necessary to replace them.
HYDRA 985 MANDREL RACK STABILIZER INSTALLATION The mandrel rack stabilizers are very critical to the proper operation of your trailer. One stabilizer Is attached to each mandrel rack. This stabilizer keeps the racks rigid and takes all the strain put against the racks when pressure Is applied by the power unit against the reel.
