The overhead contact wire may have deformations called "kinks", the result of problems when unwinding the wire or through the use of pulling grips during servicing on the overhead wire. In order to ensure good contact between the contact wire and the pantograph, it is necessary that the contact wire should be straight. The hydraulic kink-remover, named XDH41, can be used with a 700 Bar hydraulic group type GHA700 and makes it possible to give a straight line to the contact wire. The kink-remover may be used on :

 |
Once the kink in the contact wire has been noticed, the head of the kink-remover is fitted over the contact wire (link cable facing operator to the right) and is then centred with respect to the kink. |

 |
The base with handle on the spring side is presented to the right of the head. The handle is pushed so that it can slide the base onto the head, while the latter is held. |
|
 |
The base is fully slid onto the head up to the endstop. The spring must be properly located in the recess of the head. The kink-remover is now ready for use. |
|
 |
The kink-remover must be placed so that the concave section of the moving die is opposite the concave section of the contact wire. In order to give a straight line to the overhead contact wire, operate the hydraulic group by the remote control. |
|
 |
In order to take the device off the wire, the spring must be pulled downwards so as to be able to slide the base under the head. | |
|
Warning :
Never operate the kink-remover alone. Use the whole length of the dies for removing the kink. |
