2.0 SAFETY WARNING

Operations with this equipment can be potentially dangerous if caution is not exercised prior to and during
tool use. Please read and follow all of these instructions, in addition to the guidelines in the WJTA
Recommended Practices handbook.

2.1 Only competent and trained persons should operate this equipment.
2.2 Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure specified for any component in a system.
2.3 This equipment should always be used with an operator controlled dump mechanism to
release the high pressure water.
2.4 The immediate work area should be marked off to keep out untrained persons.
2.5 All personnel in the area should wear eye and hearing protection, as well as other
protective clothing in accordance with specific conditions.
2.6 Inspect the equipment for visible signs of deterioration, damage, or improper assembly.
Do not operate until repaired. Make sure all threaded connections are tight and leak free.
2.7 Check to see that all control functions work properly before going to high pressure.
2.8 If it is necessary to have a person work near the cleaning jets, then it is this person who
should have control of the pressure dump mechanism.
2.9 The tool should be securely supported. Strong back thrust is created by waterjets and
these forces can become unbalanced if a nozzle should become plugged.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
The TELEBOOM is designed to hold and position most types of waterblast cleaning nozzles. It is
particularly useful for placing rotary nozzle heads inside tanks and vessels. It is intended only for vertical
or near vertical applications.

The TELEBOOM is lightweight and compact for portability. The boom sections, baseplate, and most
components are aluminum. It attaches to various size manway openings by means of custom made
adapter plates. A pair of viewports are provided so that a light can be directed in one while looking
through the other.

There are three positioning functions: Telescope, Angle and Rotate. All of the functions are driven by
hand operated wheel cranks.

The Telescope function is performed by a hand winch with worm gear reduction and automatic brake
action. The winch cable goes over one of the hose rollers and down through the series of boom tubes. It
exits along side the fluid coupling and has a large crimp fitting attached to anchor it. Gravity pulls the
nozzle head down and the winch pulls it back up.

The Angle function is controlled by a manual screw actuator and can tilt the boom plus or minus 45
degrees.

The Rotate function is powered through a gearbox which drives the boom sub-assembly to turn inside the
baseplate. Depending on the angle position, the unit can rotate plus or minus 150 degrees.

The TELEBOOM requires minimal attention to maintain its usefulness. The main task is to regularly
grease the five zerks provided. There are four zerks in the inner plate which lubricate the baseplate
rotation function. There is also one zerk in the angle actuator screw housing. The rotation gearbox is
permanently lubricated.

Check all bolts to see that they are secure and that the cable is not frayed. The telescoping tubes should
slide easily. Keep the tubes free from major dents or dings.

The attachments to the outside of the 4 in. tube require about 4 ft. of length for proper mounting. This
placement length can be at any position along the 4 in. tube. The amount of tube extending above or
below the baseplate can be varied to suit the application. When headroom is limited or maximum reach is
required, mount the attachments nearest to the top or hose roller end.

AND MAINTENANCE
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions will help you achieve a satisfactory installation of your Textron Power Transmis-
sion Series B unit, ensuring the best possible conditions for a long and trouble free operation.
All units are tested and checked prior to shipment, a great deal of care is taken in packing and shipping
arrangements to ensure that the unit arrives at the customer in the approved condition.
Optimum performance is best achieved by a process of gradual load increments, up to the full value, over
the first 50 hours or so of their working life. During these early stages of running, sensible precautions
should be taken to avoid overloads.
The gear unit operating temperature may be higher during this period of run-in. A progressive reduction in
temperature may occur over many hours until the unit has reached its highest efficiency.

2 MOUNTING OF COMPONENTS TO EITHER THE UNIT INPUT OR OUTPUT SHAFT

Shaft dimensions and tolerences are on page 9.
- Items (such as gears, sprockets, couplings etc) should not be hammered onto these shafts since
this would damage the shaft support bearings.
- The item should be pushed onto the shaft using a screw jack device fitted into the threaded hole.
- Items being fitted may be heated to 80/100oC (176/212oF) to aid assembly further.

3 WEATHER PROTECTION OF UNIT

All Series B units are provided with protection against normal weather conditions. Where units are to
operate in extreme conditions, or where they are to stand for long periods without running, e.g. during plant
construction, we should be notified when ordering so that arrangements for adequate protection can be
made.

All sizes are factory filled with a high quality synthetic lubricant. They are 'Lubricated for Life' and
require no routine maintenance in service

4.2 MOUNTING TO CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT

Mounting the gearhead flange facing or feet to the customer equipment use screws
to ISO grade 8.8 minimum.

M16 1770 lb-ins 147.5 lb-ft
M20 3100 lb-ins 258.3 lb-ft
M24 5400 lb-ins 450.0 lb-ft

4.3 MOTOR CONNECTIONS TO MAINS

Connection of the electric motor to the mains supply should be made by a qualified person.
The current rating of the motor will be identified on the motor plate, and correct sizing of the
cables to electrical regulations is essential.
 APPROVED
0108 LUBRICANTS
