Step 1: Shore the wall of the hole where the Pipe Genie pipe bursting pulling machine will be situated. Using 4x4 timbers assemble a retaining barrier as shown. Brush out debris from the pipe area. The pipe pulling will be placed against the barrier. |
 |

Step 2: Insert 'Push Tube' and then attach the cable.
|
 |
||
| Step 3: Pull the cable through Pipe Genie pipe bursting pulling machine and then attach the chain. |  |
||
| Step 4: Pull chain through pipe. |  |
||
| Step 5: Set frame of pipe bursting pulling machine in the hole. Note Step 1 and ensure frame is butted against retaining barrier as described. |  |
||
| Step 6: Assemble cylinders, pulley and top pulling assembly. |  |
||
| Step 7: Pass chain around pulley and top box assembly |  |
||
|
Step 8: Install pipe bursting cones over chain and then install the pipe guide. |
 |
||
| Step 9: Hook up pulling chain to block (flat end forward) and hook up retaining chain. |  |
||
| Step 10: Hook up hydraulic hoses from cylinders to actuator, and from actuator to the supplied power pack. |  |
||
| Step 11: Start the power pack, and start pulling the pipe bursting cones into the old pipe. |  |
||
|
Step
12:Insert chain into new pipe and insert new pipe into the pipe
guide. Step 13:Pull the retaining chain snug and hook up boot. You're ready to begin bursting the old pipe and pulling the new pipe. |
 |
||
| Step 14: Begin pulling until the pipe is in and the boot is at the bank. Repeat these steps (13, 14, 15) until all the pipe is burst and the new pipe is in. |  |
||
|
Step 15 When the pipe bursting heads come through, remove them one at a time by releasing the chain coupler, and then finally release the pipe bursting guide. Once the pipe is fully through, remove the pipe boot and retrieve the chain. |
