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:
a. Wind the rope several times around the capstan.
b. Pull the ramp away from the mounting plate and
rotate it until the flat surface contacts the rope.

c. Push the ramp toward the mounting plate and
rotate it counterclockwise until it locks into place.
4. Check the I/O switch on the puller to be sure it is
OFF (O). 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.

7. Turn the circuit breaker in the force gauge ON (I).
8. Grasp the tailing end of the rope. Apply a slight
amount of tailing force.
9. Turn the puller ON (I).
10. Tail the rope, allowing the spent rope to accumulate
on the floor between the operator and the puller.
11. When the pull is complete, turn the puller OFF (O).
Tie off the rope and anchor the cable.
Do not wrap rope around hands,
arms, waist or other body parts.
Do not stand in spent coils or tailed
rope. Hold rope so that it may be
released quickly.
