Operation
1. Fish the rope through the conduit.
2. Set up the cable puller. See Typical Setups illustra-
tions and instructions in this manual.
Set up the cable puller so that the rope will approach
the capstan at an angle of 90° (±5°). Angles outside
of this range may cause the rope to overlap.
90° (±5°)
3. Set the rope ramp as follows:
Surface A
Pull Side
a. Wind the rope several times around the
capstan.
b. Pull the ramp away from the mounting plate and
rotate it until Surface A contacts the rope.
c. Push the ramp toward the mounting plate and
rotate it counterclockwise until it locks into
place.
4. 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.
5. Connect the force gauge to 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.
6. Position the force gauge so that it can be monitored
by the puller operator.
