NEVER allow the rope to slip on a rotating capstan for more than a
couple of seconds. The rope will wear in that spot and the rope could
break under pressure. If you need to stop the pull, turn the cable puller
off and tie the rope off to hold it in place until you restart your pull.
WARNING
This cable puller is equipped with an anti-reversing pawl. The pawl will
make a clicking sound when the capstan is rotating. if you can not hear
the clicking sound as the capstan rotates, immediately turn the cable
puller off and do not use until repaired.
WARNING
Keep all body parts, hair, loose clothing, etc. away from rotating parts
and pinch points. Keep hands away from capstan.
DO NOT wrap rope around any body parts. DO NOT wrap rope around
wrists.
ALWAYS keep the tailing rope away from the operator’s feet.

6. Release pressure off of the foot switch to stop the puller. Turn the cable puller
circuit breaker switch to the OFF position when the pull is completed.
NOTE: If for any reason you need to stop during a pull, release pressure on
the foot switch, turn the cable puller OFF and tie off the tailing rope to hold
it in place.
