2. Sudden break of the anchoring stakes. The sudden break of the anchoring
stakes causes machine instability and sudden movements. To minimize the
risks the operator has to:
• Periodically check the anchoring stakes and replace them as soon as
defects or wear signs appear.
• Follow the anchoring suggestions described in the present manual.
• Comply with the working positions indicated in the manual.
4. Limb crushing during loading or removal of the reel and during rope-
conductor loading. These operations have a large risk margin due to the use
of mechanical parts to be moved. To minimize the risks the operator has to:
• Know the directives for accident prevention and apply them.

Operating Procedure
5.
4.
A. SET-UP
1. Position puller-tensioner slightly to left or to the right of the first overhead
structure being worked with. The machine should not be positioned directly
inline with the overhead structure. A slight offset to the right or left will provide
better engagement during operation.
The puller-tensioner also needs to be positioned far enough away from the
first structure to obtain a 1.5- to 2-degree fleet angle. This distance can be
calculated by multiplying 2.5 by the height of the first block on the pulling
structure. For example if the first block is at 80 feet high, the puller-tensioner
should be positioned 240 feet back.
2. Set rear stabilizer leg by removing the keeper pin (See Figure 1) and lowering
the leg as close to the ground as possible and replacing pin. (See Figure 2)
B. START UP PROCEDURE
!IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before starting the AFS 404

A. TRANSPORT
Before transporting the machine, empty any flammable liquids contained in the
machine (oils and fuels).
Transport must be done per the specifications described in chapter 3 (Transport and
Positioning instructions).
During a service stop, start the machine at least once every two months and let the
machine idle for at least one hour, so the oil enters the hydraulic system to prevent
the gaskets from drying.
Store the machine under a roof. Do not cover the machine with pieces of cloth and/or
plastic materials that may cause an increase in the temperature and/or humidity.
If the machine is not used for one or more years, replace the hydraulic oil and
hydraulic circuit filters before re-starting the machine.
C. STRIPPING
Machine stripping has to be done by the manufacturer or by a specialized factory.
All the stripping operations must conform to company norms for accident prevention.
Waste materials must be divided by type (i.e. iron scrap, aluminium, plastic, rub, etc.)
and disposed according to the laws in force.
