SET-UP AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — CONTINUED
PULLING CABLE — continued
NOTE: The following instructions should be referred to when using approved
pulling rope on the Model #11 puller.
1. If necessary, adjust the boom length and the position of the coupling head
to ensure that the coupling head engagement slot is fully seated on the lip
of the conduit.
2. Position the rope from the conduit over the coupling head roller and onto
the capstan.
3. Start at the end of the capstan closest to the gearbox and wrap the rope in
a clockwise direction around the capstan two or three wraps. Ensure the
rope is laying side by side on the capstan, and the tailing end is coming
off the top of the capstan.
NOTE: The tailing end is the portion of the rope that has passed the
capstan and is now excess to the pull. By pulling on the tailing
rope the operator can control and vary the pulling force. If the rope
slips on the capstan, stop the cordless drill and add an additional
wrap of rope around the capstan.
4. Set the cordless drill direction to FORWARD or CLOCKWISE and the speed
to low. Pull the trigger on the cordless drill to start the pull.
5. Using your free hand, pull the tailing end of the rope while the capstan is
turning. This will tighten the rope onto the capstan and begin to pull the
cable. Continue pulling the rope until the pull is completed.
6. Once the pull is completed, unwrap the rope from the capstan.
