Operation
1. Fish the rope through the conduit.
2. Set up the cable puller. Refer to the illustrations and
instructions in the “Typical Setups” section.
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. Plug the puller into a 20 amp grounded outlet.
Turn on the switch/circuit breaker.
5. The lights will cycle through a power up sequence
with only the “0” light remaining lit. The default
startup speed is high. The high speed light will be
lit. To change the speed to low, double tap the foot
switch. The low speed light will illuminate. Double
tap the foot switch again to change back to high
speed.
6. After the foot switch is depressed, the green light
indicating 0 lb will be lit. As the force climbs, an
additional light illuminates for every 1000 lb increase
in pulling force.
• If the continuous operating limit of the puller is
exceeded in high speed mode, the green lights
start to flash.
• If the continuous operating limit of the puller is
exceeded in low speed mode, the yellow lights
illuminate.
• The red light illuminates at 10,000 lb to indicate
that the maximum operating limit of the puller has
been reached. The circuit breaker (or current limit-
ing) may shut down the puller before or shortly
after the red light illuminates.
7. Make sure all nearby personnel are not standing in
line with or close to the pull rope. The right angle
sheave on the UT10 should be used to allow the
operator to stand off to the side as required.
8. Position yourself so that you can see the force
gauge indicator lights. Refer to the table below.

9. Grasp the tailing end of the rope. Apply a slight
amount of tailing force.
10. Start the puller by pressing and holding down the
foot switch.
11. Tail the rope, allowing the spent rope to accumulate
on the floor between the operator and the puller.
12. When the pull is complete, turn the puller OFF.
Tie off the rope and anchor the cable.
