Overhead Wire Pull
1. Convert the Cannon 12K to an overhead configuration by
removing the cinch pin at the main knuckle. Pull the snap
pin, and rotate the front end right or left to the desired
position.
2. To achieve optimum balance, slide base to adjust the
front knuckle weight.
3. Adjust front knuckle and main knuckle for proper
alignment of the adapter into and onto the conduit.
4. Use the universal adapter if the pull is under 5,000 lbs. If
the pull is over 5,000 lbs. attach the correct size adapter
and thread the rope through the adapter.
5. Install and tighten all pins.
6. Do not stand in-line with the rope being pulled, (stand to
the side of the puller) to avoid injury if the rope breaks.
Note : Use only low stretch rope designed for wire pulling,
5/8” to 7/8” sizes.
7. Use proper lubricant or no-lube wire to make pulling jobs
smoother.
8. Determine which capstan to use. For lighter loads at high
speed, use the large diameter capstan. For heavy loads,
use the small diameter capstan.
Note : To achieve optimum pulling speed, listen to the
sound of the motor. If the motor is straining, switch to
the small diameter capstan.
9. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan. Step
on the included foot switch to start the capstan turning.
Pull on the rope to produce some tension. The rope will
begin to advance.
Note : If balling or backlashing occurs,
reduce the number of wraps around the capstan
10. Maintain tension on the rope. The rope will slip on the
capstan during normal operation. Keep the rope moving
so that it does not contact one area of the capstan for
more than a few seconds, or it may heat up and break.
Note : Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lb.) of tension on the
rope. If the pull becomes difficult, add another wrap or
two of rope to the capstan. If excessive force becomes
necessary, stop the pull and inspect the set up.
