PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 3. TRANSPORT AND POSITIONING INSTRUCTIONS MACHINE LIFTING For the machine lifting use only devices as overhead travelling cranes or lift trucks, with a capacity equal to the mass to be lifted. The instruments used for the machine lifting (ropes, cables, hooks, etc.) have to be exactly dimensioned as compared to the mass to be lifted and have to be connected to the proper elements foreseen on the machine (table 1, pos.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 ASSEMBLING OPERATIONS Mount the tyres in the suitable holes. TRANSPORT ON TRAILER Machine is not suitable for road towing. Possible displacements on trailer in the working site must be carried out by a connection to the towing unit by means of the towing eye on the drawbar (table 1, pos.

PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 Machine anchoring sequence is the following: a. machine must be aligned as much as possible with the pull direction. b. position the rear stabiliser (table 1, pos. 10) and then load properly the plough (table 1, pos. 5) operating on the lever (table 3, pos.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 4. INSTRUCTION FOR USE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR PROHIBITION: it is forbidden to walk or stop in front or backward the machine and/or under the towing rope due to a constant residual risk of crushing in case of a possible giving in of the rope or of the anchoring.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 MACHINE SET-UP Before the use, the machine must be set in stand-alone using mode, operating on the control panel (table 3). a. insert and turn the ignition key (table 1, pos. 14) in "1" position b. wait up to the multifunction display switch on c.

PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 4. HOUR COUNTER PAGE This page shows the working hour of the diesel engine in the center and 4 percentage check icons on the edges: diesel engine water cooling temperature hydraulic oil temperature diesel engine fuel level Switch from one page to the other one by using the up () or down () key.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 4.7.2 PULL PROGRAMMING DEVICE SETTING ATTENTION: THE OPERATIONS TO SET THE PULL MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH STARTED DIESEL ENGINE BUT WHEN THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF. Start the diesel engine and set the engine at about 1600 rpm.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 CONNECTION MACHINE-HYDRAULIC HEAD OF THE REEL ELEVATOR OR REEL WINDER Each hydraulic head (or each reel-winder) has a connecting kit consisting of two pipes. Each of these pipes has to be connected at the proper rapid connection taking care to connect them properly (otherwise the installation will not work).
This is the maximum acceptable value for the hydraulic components in case the oils suggested by Tesmec are used. If other kinds of oils are used, the maximum acceptable working temperature depends on their characteristics in relation also to the viscosity limits imposed by the hydraulic pumps and motors.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 4.12 PREHEATING KIT (OPTIONAL) The machine is equipped with a preheating kit to be used when room temperatures are included between -10°C and -20°C. This kit is composed by a gas-oil burner and by an heating circuit that uses the cooling liquid of the diesel engine: the consumption heated by the preheating kit are the diesel engine block, the hydraulic oil tank, the diesel engine gas-oil tank and the delivery of the gas-oil to the diesel engine.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 buttons. If the buttons are not pressed within 5 seconds, the time displayed will be stored. If the buttons are pressed for more than 2 seconds, the fast time-setting mode is activated. If the ignition is switched off while the heater is operating in the continuous mode, the remaining operating time of 15 minutes is displayed and the heater continues to operated for this period of time.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 The wakeup time is not bound to a specific day of the week. Repeatedly press the button until the bell symbol appears on the display. Set the desired wakeup time using the buttons. The alarm clock turns off after 5 minutes or when one of the buttons is pressed.
Is possible to connect a maximum 12 machines between them, with the possibility to work with 12 independent ropes configurations. Tesmec suggest to use this configuration device on machine working at the puller station, to allow to recover multiple ropes or conductors with the same speed.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 Prior to operate the set-up of the machines, check that: The machines are connected through the special connecting cable The ground devices are installed and connected The gear-box configuration is HIGH-PULL in each machine (optional)
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 NOTE: the ID of the machines must be set from 1 to the total number of connected machines starting from left to right (looking at the machines from the back – reel-winder position) e. set each machine in connection configuration, except the final one, by turning rightwards the selector (table 3, pos.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 USING OF ELECTRONIC SPEED SYNCHRONIZER DEVICE (OPTIONAL) The machine could be provided with an electronic speed synchronizer device as a optional package; to activate operate on the selector (table 3, pos. 9) (rightwards) on the master machine.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 5.7.3 EMERGENCY STOP Pressing the emergency stop in one of the connected machines generate the stop of the engine of the single machine where the stop has been activated and the stop of the movement of all the remaining connected machines, where the diesel engine remain switched on.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 6. SAFETY CONDITIONS SAFETY DEVICES Machine has been equipped with the following safety devices: 1. load-limiting device with automatically stop of the endothermic engine once the max. pre-set load value has been exceeded 2. mechanical negative safety brake for movement stop in case of lack of hydraulic pressure 3.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 RESIDUAL RISKS In the machine there are still the following residual risks: 1. Sudden break of the rope-conductor. The break of the rope causes sudden movements of the machine and of the rope or conductor connected to the machine.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 7. MAINTENANCE GENERAL PRESCRIPTIONS ATTENTION: possible repairs not carried out by the manufacturer and not allowed by a written authorisation relieve the manufacturer for any responsibility in case of accidents to persons or damages to things and/or to the machine, causing also the loss of warranty.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT MAINTENANCE a. Change the hydraulic oil after 500 working hours and, then, every 1500 hours (or in any case every year). b. To discharge the exhaust hydraulic oil, use the suitable tap (table 1, pos. 13) on the bottom of the tank.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 RADIATOR’S MAINTENANCE At least once a year, or more in case of use in dusty places, is foreseen a blowhole with compressed air of the radiant mass of the radiators. ATTENTION: in order to make this operation the one in charge of maintenance, besides wearing all the protection devices already shown in this manual, must also wear a device for protecting respiratory organs.
PULLER-TENSIONER Model: AFS303 8. HOW TO DISABLE THE MACHINE TRANSPORT Before transporting the machine, empty any liquid that can be set on fire contained in the machine (oils and fuels).
