The Power Head capstan rotates in one direction only and
is non-reversing; it will not reverse under load or when the
power is off. To make your pulls easier, it is recommended
that you fully wrap the capstan with rope.
Figure 16
Do not stand directly in line with rope under tension. The
operator must be positioned far enough to one side that
injury will not occur if rope or other components should
break.
Before actually using your puller, review the following 26
pictures showing the versatility of and suggested
applications for the GB Electrical Powered Cable Puller.
These same pictures are also on the inside cover of the
metal storage case for ready reference in the field.
If the Power Head is used in other than its normal installed
position (See figure 16) the rope must be wound on the
capstan in the opposite direction.
Rope:
The use of a 3/4” diameter double braid 100% polyester
rope is recommended – such as GB’s 300’ reel of 3/4”
diameter polyester rope (RST7530 -- white rope with a
red streamer). For assistance in pay out of the rope, use
a CP1002 Rope Reel Stand.
