INTRODUCTION
GB Electrical produces three different models of cable pullers. Each version uses the CP800 power
head assembly. Differences between models are based on the accessories included with each model
or the length of rope provided with the cable puller. Since the same CP800 power head is part of
each model, the instructions and safety information apply to all uses of GB powered cable pullers.
Cable pulling encounters a wide variety of situations and materials. Because of that variety, it is not
possible to provide instruction that applies to each unique situation. Principles presented here provide
as much general assistance as possible. Assembly instructions are specific. Follow them precisely to
ensure safe, reliable and effective cable puller installations.
All instructions are important, but safety is paramount during pulling. Safety alert symbols are located
throughout this manual, and a separate section is included to identify specific safety concepts.
Before operating the GB cable puller, read and understand this entire manual. If you do not
understand any area or subject, contact GB Electrical, Inc. at 1-414-352-4160 or 1-800-624-4320.
