Step 5: Set up J-Links and Lock Puller in Position
n Position the JB Pipepuller in the direct line of pull and lay out the J-link
and J-hook so they are in line with the direction of pull.
n Position the J-hook on the culvert. Note that the J-Hook may require shims
to keep the pulling force parallel to the culvert. See the J-Hook section
of the manual for more important details.
n Attach the proper length J-Link to the key link on the pulling cylinder.
n With the selector valve rotated to the left, tip the front of the puller
to the oor, shove the strut to the ceiling, then activate the remote.
n This will rotate the shoe to the oor and lock the puller into position,
ready to pull. Remember, the cylinder needs to be fully extended
when setting the Strut.
n Now extend the pulling cylinder and hook the J-Link onto the J-Hook
and position the selector valve to the right and activate the remote
to pull the rst culvert into place.
n At full pull, the cylinder has 15.5 tons of pulling power.
n Remember, stand off to one side at the edge of the culvert
for safety purposes.
This picture shows the procedure for locking the puller into place prior to pulling.
