Pulling Operation
1. Be sure the cable puller power switch is in the off position.
2. Operator should monitor the force gauge throughout the entire cable pull.
3. Hold the tailing end of the pulling rope and pull slightly. Turn the cable
puller
on.
Note: The tailing rope is that portion of the pulling 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. It
should require no more than 10 lbs. of tailing force by the operator
to engage the pulling rope on the capstan. If the rope slips on the
capstan, turn the puller off and add an additional wrap of rope
around the capstan. Also note that with the tailing force at a con-
stant pull, each additional wrap of rope around the capstan will
approximately double the pulling force of the cable puller.
ALWAYS use black roller to
uide rope so that operator stands at 90
an
le to the
cable puller and out of the direct line of ti

rope. See Fi
