Setup and Operation
While reading through this section of the manual, look
for components that are shaded in the illustrations. The
shading indicates components that are associated with
the accompanying text.
1. Fish the rope through the conduit.
2. Set up the cable puller mounting. Set it up so that
the rope will approach the capstan at an angle of
90° (±5°) as illustrated in Rope Approaching the
Capstan.
Note: If using an adapter sheave, flexible pipe
adapter, or mobile T-boom, see the illustrations
in this manual. If using a manhole sheave or floor
mount, see the instructions supplied with those
items.

chains on a structural support that
is less than 51 mm (2") or more than
254 mm (10") wide. An oversized or

Install the vise chains properly.
• Follow the vise chain tightening instructions care-
fully. Improperly tightened chains can allow the
puller to slide or break loose and strike nearby
personnel.
• Do not allow the vise chains to bind at the corners
when mounting the puller to a square or rectangular
support. The vise chain must be uniformly tight at
all points.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
3. Install the vise chains as shown.

adapter, or structural element.
d. Pull the vise chain tight and insert the chain pins
into the chain pockets, or recesses.
e. Turn the handle to slightly tighten the chain.
