SET-UP AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — CONTINUED
PULLING CABLE
NOTE: The following instructions should be referred to when using
polyester measuring/pulling tape (mule tape) or conduit measuring
tape that is approved for cable pulling. These are referred to below
as “pulling line’’.
1. The pulling line must be attached to the capstan in order for it to spool
during the pull. The two options to attach the pulling line to the capstan
are noted below:
OPTION 1 Insert the pulling line through the hole in the capstan and tie
a knot to hold it on the capstan. See Figure 13A.
OPTION 2 Unscrew the capstan cap knob a few turns to loosen the cap.
Insert the pulling line between the capstan cap and capstan.
Then fully tighten the capstan cap knob to capture the pulling
line between the capstan cap and capstan.
NOTE: Ensure the alignment hole in the capstan cap lines up with the
dowel pin on the capstan when tightening. See Figure 13B.
