Operation & Maintenance Manual Page 2 Model 1570-B Puller the loaded trailer at a commercial scale. In addition, you must distribute the load in the trailer such that the load on any axle does not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR.) The GVWR and GAWR are located on the OEM certification and VIN label attached to the front frame of the trailer.

09/2010 Operation & Maintenance Manual Page 3 Model 1570-B Puller • The trailer jacks are not fully retracted. Do not tow the trailer on the road until: • The trailer breakaway system is operational The breakaway switch must be connected and verified. If equipped with electric brakes, your trailer will be equipped with a breakaway system that can apply the brakes on your trailer if it becomes detached from the tow vehicle for any reason.

The system is powered by the stoplight circuit. This allows any of your trucks currently equipped to pull trailers to be used with a Sauber ABS equipped trailer. The system is off while the brakes are off and powers on and checks itself when the brakes are applied.

Prior to beginning the pull, be sure that you have computed the amount of tension that will be required based on the dis- tance between the poles, the weight of the wire, the wire sag, and the number of poles. Sauber Mfg. Co. can provide a spread- sheet file that will compute this information quickly in the event you do not have ready access to it.

09/2010 Operation & Maintenance Manual Page 10 Model 1570-B Puller Synthetic Fiber Ropes In synthetic fiber ropes the amount of strength loss due to abrasion and or flexing relates to the percentage of yarns broken or damaged in the rope's cross-section. In virtually all rope constructions the strands have intermittent surface exposure, usually referred to as "Crowns".

09/2010 Operation & Maintenance Manual Page 11 Model 1570-B Puller Shock Loading and Over-Loading A rope, just like most machinery, can be seriously damaged if shock loaded beyond its normal working range. Simply described, shock loads are a "jerking" or a "snatching" of a rope. Or, a very sudden change in tension, from a state of no load or low load to one of high load.

(GPM). For most applications full flow is recommended. Some tools, however, require specific flow rates for optimal perform- ance. This information should be available from the tool manufacturer's documentation. Sauber Retrievers can be operated at flows up to 20 GPM and therefore can be run at full flow. If oil flow is at or near 0 GPM rotate the flow control clockwise until de- sired flow is restored.
