A. SAFETY DEVICES
The ARS301 has the following safety devices:
• Load-limiting device: stops the engine once the maximum pre-set load value
has been exceeded
• Mechanical vacuum brake: stops movement in case of lack of hydraulic
pressure
• Timing case: to protect moving parts where technologically possible
!DANGER: Never use the machine without protecting timing cases

or with damaged/disconnected safety devices.
!ATTENTION: After a serious emergency and/or use of the vacuum

brake, check the wear condition of the discs and the efficiency of
the brake itself; if necessary, replace the brake discs before
re-using the machine.
B. EMERGENCY STOP DEVICE

An emergency stop device (push-button) acts directly on the endothermic engine.
!ATTENTION: Use the emergency stop device ONLY in dangerous

situations for the operators’ safety.
!PROHIBITION: Use the emergency stop device only for

emergency situations.
5 Blue Heron Drive
Fax: 610-831-5012
C. PERIODIC OPERATIONS
Daily, before starting the work, the operator must verify the performance of the
machine’s safety devices.
!ATTENTION: Do not ever modify safety devices. The manufacturer

declines any responsibility as consequence of the non-functioning
of these devices.
D. RESIDUAL RISKS
The machine has the following residual risks:
1. Sudden break of the rope-conductor. The break of the rope causes sudden
movements of the machine and the rope-conductor connected to the machine.
To minimize the risks the operator must:
• Check the rope and replace it as soon as defects or wear signs appear
• Comply with the working positions indicated in the manual
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 must:
• Periodically check the anchoring stakes and replace them as soon as
defects or wear signs appear
• Follow the anchoring indications described in the manual
• Comply with the working positions indicated in the manual
3. Entangling or dragging of the accessible rotating units. It is not

technologically possible to cover some rotating units (i.e. winding of the rope
or of the conductor on the bull-wheels or on the driving gears). To minimize the
risks the operator must:
• Avoid contact with the machine’s rotating units except for the control devices
• Follow the anchoring instructions in the manual
• Respect the prescriptions indicated in the manual concerning wearing and
using necessary safety devices
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 must:
• Know the directives for accident prevention and apply them
5. Electrostatic discharges. Since the machine does not have a proper

grounding device during stringing operations, it is possible to have dangerous
electrostatics discharges on ropes and conductors. To minimize the risks the
operator must:
• Know the directives for accident prevention and apply them
• Check for suitable grounding device for the machine rope-conductors
system
6. Inhalation of the endothermic engine exhausting gas. The ARS301

discharges exhaust gas. To minimize the risks, the operator must:
• Follow the working recommendations indicated in the manual
• Follow ATTENTIONS and PROHIBITIONS indicated in the manual
• Use safety devices for breathing, if necessary
5 Blue Heron Drive
Fax: 610-831-5012
7. Sudden movements of the reel

winder unit. Always install the
carrying screw pin back into the reel
elevator prior to transport. (See Figure A)
• Follow the indications of
ATTENTIONS and PROHIBITIONS
in the manual
E. MACHINE USE
Never use the machine for the following:
• For lifting persons and/or goods
• In locations where the machine
cannot be positioned or properly
anchored
• In areas with brush or other materials Figure A
that can easily catch fire
• In closed/unventilated sites or areas poorly ventilated (i.e., tunnels)
• At sites where fuels or explosives are present
• On aircraft, watercrafts, floating platforms, and similar sites
• For structure demolition
• For pulling elastic elements
• With ropes or joints having larger diameters than those specified in this
manual
• When the engine is off but the bull-wheels are moving
• With over-ridden or broken safety system devices
• When winding ropes and/or conductors having a smaller diameter after ropes
and/or conductors having larger diameter on the bull-wheels
• For handling trucks or other movable equipment
F. RESPONSIBILITY
Never use the machine in situations different from those indicated in “Typology
and Field Use” or situations not described in this manual.
Failure to use recommended restraints creates a situation of wrongful and

improper use and relieves the manufacturer of any responsibility for accidents
and/or injuries to persons and/or damage to property. This voids the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Similarly, the manufacturer’s responsibility ends when the following situations

occur:
• Tampering with and/or modifying the system without the manufacturer’s
express written consent (in this case, the operator becomes the manufacturer
assuming all obligations and responsibilities, both civil and penal)
• Using non-original spare parts
• Performing poor maintenance on the machine
• Using the machine when it is disconnected or when safety devices are
over-ridden
• Connecting parts to the machine not produced and/or not directly authorized
by the manufacturer in a written acceptance.

L. PAYOUT CABLE.
To payout the cable, pull the bull wheel joystick up and push forward. The Payout
speed can be varied by the degree to which the joystick is moved.
IMPORTANT: Always keep tension on the winch line when paying

out to prevent slack from developing in bull wheel.
In typical applications, the winch line will need to be paid out to reach the work area
first, then prepped for pullback.
M. PULLBACK OPERATION
1. Adjust the Maximum Tension Limiter to the desired maximum pulling-tension
value (measured in tons) by inserting the black removable knob into the center
of the large dial. Press down on the block knob and rotate until the large red
needle adjusts to the desired value. This will be the maximum pulling force the
machine will exert. Once the limit is reached, the entire system will shut down
and a warning sound will be activated. The machine will then shut down.
(See Figure 23)

2. To start the pullback, pull the bull wheel joystick out and down. The pullback
speed can be varied by the degree to which the joystick is moved.
(See Figure 24) The reel winder will adjust automatically with the speed of the
pullback. During pullback, be sure to monitor pulling tension.

6.
A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION: Repairs not done by the manufacturer and not
allowed by written authorization relieve the manufacturer of any
responsibility in case of accidents to persons or damage to things
and/or to the machine, causing loss of the warranty.
B. FLUID LEVELS
For safety reasons during transport, the machine comes without hydraulic oil and fuel.
Fill the levels per the following table:
Quantity
Hydraulic oil level 9 gallons (34.l liters)
Engine oil level
3 gal (11.35 liters)
Fuel level
Reel winder stationary brake oil level 0.12 quarts (0.11 liters)
ATTENTION: Disregarding the correct fluid levels causes serious

damage to the machine’s components.
DANGER: Do not ingest hydraulic liquids, fuels, and cooling

liquids. They may be injurious to health and potentially lethal.
C. TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure must be 36-43 psi (2.4 to 2.96 bar).
ATTENTION: Ignoring proper tire inflation pressure causes

dangerous situations during transport operations.
D. SUGGESTED LUBRICANTS
The manufacturer tests the machine with the following oils and lubricants:
Hydraulic circuit and stationary brake: IP HYDRUS OIL 46 (ISO VG 46).
Possible different trademarks must be chosen based on the enclosed table

“SUGGESTED LUBRICANTS.” It is possible to use different trademarks but with
same characteristics and ISO specifications.
When using oil with characteristics and ISO specifications different from the ones
declared during test, completely empty the hydraulic circuit.
ATTENTION: Using lubricants not in conformity with the technical

specifications indicated in the present manual seriously damages
the machine components and, consequently, invalidating the
warranty conditions.
E. ENDOTHERMIC ENGINE MAINTENANCE

For specific maintenance of the engine, see the enclosed use and maintenance
booklet.
For filling the fuel, use the filling cap on the tank.
21
5 Blue Heron Drive
Fax: 610-831-5012
DANGER: Turn off and cool the engine before any filling operation.
F. HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT MAINTENANCE

Change the hydraulic oil after 500 working hours and, thereafter, every 1500 hours
(or at least every year).
Use the correct filler to discharge the exhaust hydraulic oil.
DANGER: Turn off and cool the engine before any filling
operation.
ATTENTION: Disposing discharged oil must be done in conformity

with the laws in force in the relevant country
Use the correct quantity of oil in the tank.
ATTENTION: When filling the oil tank, be sure no foreign

matter, which could cause irreparable damages to the circuit’s
components, enters with the oil. If possible filter the oil with a 10
µm filter
Replace the filter cartridge after 500 working hours and, thereafter, every 1500 hours
(or at least every year).
Each day, check if the indicator of the vacuum gauge mounted on the filter indicates
a pressure higher than 4.3 psi (0.296 bar)—except for start-up or cool oil.
If necessary replace the cartridge.
G. STATIONARY BRAKE MAINTENANCE

Change the oil of the reel winder stationary brake after 50 working hours and,
thereafter, every 500 hours (or at least every year).
To discharge the exhaust oil of the reel winder stationary brake, use the suitable caps
on the lower part of the casing.
DANGER: Completely cool the hydraulic oil before removing it.

Always use suitable safety gear (gloves, etc.
ATTENTION: Disposing the discharged exhaust oils must be done

in conformity with the laws of the relevant country
Fill the oil of the reel winder stationary brake through the cap on the upper part of the
casing.
ATTENTION: When filling the oil, make sure no foreign matter,

which could cause irreparable damages to the circuit’s
components, enters with the oil.
22

Fax: 610-831-5012
H. GREASING
Grease the crown gear of the bull-wheels 2-3 times per day using the suitable
greaser.
Every week, grease all other parts subjected to rotation or translation that do not
have an automatic greasing schedule.
Use IP ATHESIA GR2 (ISO XBCEA 2) grease or an equivalent trademark based on

the enclosed “SUGGESTED LUBRICANTS” table.
I. OTHER PERIODIC OPERATIONS

When cleaning the machine, avoid direct jets of water or steam on the components

K. HOW TO DISABLE THE MACHINE

Before transporting the machine, empty flammable liquids in the machine (oils and
fuels).
L. TRANSPORT
Transport must be done per the specifications described in chapter 3 (Transport and
Positioning).
M. EXTENDED SERVICE STOP

When anticipating an extended service stop (two months at least) protect the external
parts with waterproof wax and empty the fuel tank.
During service stop, start the machine at least once every two months and let the
machine idle for one hour at least. This allows the oil to enter the hydraulic system
and prevents the gaskets from drying.
Store the machine under a roof. Do not cover the machine with pieces of cloth and/
or plastic materials that could cause an excessive increase of temperature and/or
humidity.
If the machine is not used for a year or more, replace the hydraulic oil and hydraulic
circuit filters before re-starting the machine.
N. STRIPPING
Machine stripping has to be done by the manufacturer or by a specialized factory.
All stripping operations must conform to the company norms for accident prevention.
Waste materials must be divided by type (i.e. iron scrap, aluminium, plastic, rub, etc.)
and disposed of according to the laws in force.
Used oils and polluting substances must be disposed of by means of authorized

structures according to the laws in force.
