5. Align the rope ramp and route the rope as illustrated
in Rope Path, Top View and Rope Path, Side View.
Note: Use every component of the rope path—the
positioning peg, entrapment peg, rope ramp and
tapered capstan—as shown to help prevent rope
overlap.

6. Check the ON/OFF switch on the puller to be sure
it is OFF. Plug the puller into the receptacle of
the standard force gauge. Plug the force gauge
into an appropriate power supply (see Grounding
Instructions in this manual).
Note: If using an extension cord, it must be rated
for 20 amps. Use the shortest cord possible. Longer
cords reduce puller speed.
7. Position the force gauge so that it can be monitored
by the puller operator.

8. Grasp the tailing end of the rope. Apply a slight
amount of tailing force.
9. Turn the puller ON.
10. Tail the rope, allowing the spent rope to accumulate
on the floor between the operator and the puller.
Note: The capstan arm is intended to pivot. Do not
attempt to stop the arm from pivoting.
11. When the pull is complete, turn the puller OFF. Tie
off the rope to the T-shaped cleat and anchor the
cable.
