Rope Set-Up
As shown in the overhead view,
Figure 8A, the pulling rope must
approach the capstan at a 90º angle.
This will help avoid rope overlap.
Make several wraps of the pulling
rope around the capstan, beginning
at the housing end of the capstan.
See Figure 8A.
Next, guide the pulling rope around
the black safety roller as shown in
Figure 8A. This will enable the operator
to stand at a 90º angle to the cable
puller and out of the direct line of
tight pulling rope.
Also note the pulling rope should
approach the capstan as indicated
in
Figure 8B.
