1. Convert the Cannon 10K to an overhead
configuration by removing the cinch pin at the main
knuckle. Pull the snap pin, and rotate the front end
right or left to the desired position.
2. To achieve optimum balance, slide base to adjust
the front knuckle weight.
3. Adjust front knuckle and main knuckle for proper
alignment of the adapter into and onto the conduit.
4. Use the universal adapter if the pull is under 5,000
lbs. If the pull is over 5,000 lbs. attach the correct
size adapter and thread the rope through the
adapter.
5. Install and tighten all pins.
6. Do not stand in-line with the rope being pulled,
(stand to the side of the puller) to avoid injury if the
rope breaks.
Note: Use only low stretch rope designed for wire
pulling, 5/8” to 11/4” sizes.
7. Use proper lubricant or no-lube wire to make
pulling jobs smoother.
8. Determine which capstan to use. For lighter loads
at high speed, use the large diameter capstan. For
heavy loads, use the small diameter capstan.
Note: To achieve optimum pulling speed, listen to
the sound of the motor. If the motor is straining,
switch to the small diameter capstan.
9. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan.
Step on the included foot switch to start the
capstan turning. Pull on the rope to produce some
tension. The rope will begin to advance. Note: If
balling or backlashing occurs, reduce the number of
wraps around the capstan
10. Maintain tension on the rope. The rope will slip on
the capstan during normal operation. Keep the
rope moving so that it does not contact one area of
the capstan for more than a few seconds, or it may
heat up and break.
Note: Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lbs.) of tension
on the rope. If the pull becomes difficult, add
another wrap or two of rope to the capstan. If
excessive force becomes necessary, stop the pull
and inspect the set up.
