Rope should approach capstan as shown in Figure 27b.
ALWAYS use black roller to guide rope so that operator stands at 90°
angle to the cable puller and out of the direct line of tight pulling rope.
See Figure 27a.
ALWAYS wrap rope beginning at housing end of capstan as shown in
Figure 27a.
To help avoid rope overlap, rope must approach capstan at a 90° angle.
See Figure 27a.
Pulling Operation
1. Be sure the cable puller circuit breaker switch is in the off position.
2. Select High or Low speed as indicated on the puller.
3. Operator should be able to see and monitor the force gauge throughout the
entire cable pull.
4. Hold the tailing end of the pulling rope as it comes off the black safety roller (see
Figure 27a) and pull slightly. Turn the cable puller circuit breaker ON.
Note: There is a built-in delay when switching unit on or when changing speeds.
The puller ready light in the electronics box will illuminate green when the puller is
ready for use.
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 constant pull, each additional wrap of rope
around the capstan will approximately double the pulling force of the cable puller.
WARNING
Rope Requirements: Use only 7/8" or larger double-braided composite pulling
rope, or a pulling rope with a minimum average breaking strength of 32,000 lb.
Be sure to inspect rope for damage before each cable pull.
WARNING
Wear eye protection when operating
cable puller.
CAUTION
There is a built-in delay when switching the
unit on or when changing speeds.
