Underground Wire Pull
1. Pivot front extension assembly as needed and reinsert pin.
2. Lift up front end and place conduit adapter into conduit. Always make sure conduit adapter sits
flush around the conduit you are pulling through.
3. Replace pin in front assembly to lock all parts tight. (This must be pinned for the puller to
operate safely and properly.)
4. Make sure side set screw is tight on the universal adapter.
5. Stand to the side of the puller, using the rope guide, not in line with the rope being pulled, to
avoid injury if the rope breaks.
Note: iTOOLco Pull Slick or only low stretch rope designed for wire pulling, 1/2” to 7/8” sizes.
6. Use proper pulling lubricant to make pulling jobs smoother (on feed side).
7. Determine which capstan you will 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 speeds or swap to the small diameter capstan.
8. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan, using the rope guide, so that you can stand
safely to the side of the puller. Start the capstan turning by stepping on the included footswitch.
Pull on the rope to produce some tension. The rope will begin to advance.
Note: if the rope begins to ball or backlash, reduce the number of wraps around the capstan.
9. Pull and release tension on rope to maintain optimum pulling tension. This will keep the rope
from balling up or backlashing. The rope will slip on the capstan during normal operation.
10. Keep the rope moving so that the capstan does not contact one spot on the rope for a short
period of time, or the rope may heat up and break. Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lbs.) of
tension on the rope. Note: 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.
