IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Check the condition of the entire rope before use. 

A worn or damaged rope can break under tension 

and whip violently.
Do not maintain a stationary rope on a rotating 

capstan. The wear generated may cause the rope 

to break under tension and whip violently.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 

severe injury or death.

Attach the pulling rope to the cable with appropri-

ate types of connectors as described in this manual. 

Select connectors with a maximum-rated capacity  

of 35.6 kN (8000 lb). An under-rated connector can 

break under tension.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe 

injury or death.

Shear Point:
Do not put fingers through holes in 

elbow unit. Rotating parts may cut 

off fingers.
Failure to observe this warning could 

result in severe injury or death.

Keep hands away from the capstan. 

Rope at the capstan can crush a 

hand. 
Failure to observe this warning could 

result in severe injury or death.

Do not wrap rope around hands, 

arms, waist or other body parts.  

Do not stand in spent coils or tailed 

rope. Hold rope so that it may be 

released quickly.

Rope, cable, or a connecting device can break under 

tension, causing the rope to whip violently. 

Do not allow any unnecessary personnel to remain 

in the area during the pull.
Do not allow any personnel to stand in line with the 

pulling rope.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 

severe injury or death.

Do not allow the rope to become overlapped on  

the capstan. If an overlap begins to develop, relax 

the tailing force immediately and shut off the cable 

puller.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe 

injury or death.

Do not operate without chain guards 

in place. 
Failure to observe this warning could 

result in severe injury or death.

Use this tool for manufacturer’s intended purpose 

only. Do not use the cable puller as a hoist or winch.

The cable puller cannot lower a load.
The load may fall.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe 

injury or death.


Always lock boom components  

in place during assembly or dis­

assembly. Adding and removing  

components may change rotation. 

Parts may strike nearby personnel.
