Setup—Versi-Boom™ System: Special Situations
Down Pulls:
The idler wheel on the boom mount must be used
during down pulls. In down pulls the pull rope will pass
underneath the boom nose sheave. The idler wheel
must be used as shown to get the rope from underneath
the boom to the top of the capstan.
Down Pulls/Elbow Unit:
If the pull rope passes OVER the nose unit sheave then
it must pass OVER the elbow unit sheave. The idler
wheel is not used.
If the pull rope passes UNDER the nose unit sheave
then it must pass UNDER the elbow unit sheave. The
rope must then pass under the idler wheel and on to the
capstan. (See Down Pull with Threaded Coupler, page 16.)
Rotating Boom Nose and Elbow:
Keep nose, elbow and puller in line whenever possible.
Do not use the nose or elbow at an angles which make
the rope twist or wrap around the boom. Rope wear
may occur.

Couplers may break if the weight of the puller is
not properly supported. Do not allow the puller and
boom to hang from slip-in or screw-in couplers.
Damage to the coupler and rope may result. Use the

the puller at the motor and capstan.
