Spooling Pulling Line/Mule Tape - Greenlee G1 Versi-Tugger Operación Manual

Puller Setup and Operation

Spooling Pulling Line/Mule Tape

SETUP
1. Anchor pulling line/tape to the capstan. There are two
ways to anchor the line to the capstan listed below:
A. Thread the line through the large hole in the
capstan and tie a knot.
B. Take the end of the line and clamp it between
the capstan wall and the capstan. This can be
accomplished by unscrewing the capstan wall
about halfway. Then, take the end of the line
and place it between the capstan wall and the
capstan. Finally, screw the capstan wall firmly into
place against the capstan.

2. Adjust the orientation and position of the head and
boom if necessary, ensure the line/tape is anchored
to the capstan. (see previous page 14 "Head and
Boom Operation"). Remember to fully seat the
conduit engagement notch against the conduit or
conduit nut before beginning to pull.

OPERATION
1. Once the puller has been set up correctly, the pulling
process can begin.
2. With the cordless drill attached to the G1 Versi-
Tugger (see previous page 13 "Mounting Cordless
Drill to Puller") and the cordless drill direction set to
the FORWARD or CLOCKWISE spinning position,*
depress the trigger of the cordless drill and the
capstan will begin to spin.
3. When the capstan spins, the pulling line or mule tape
will begin to spool up.
• DO NOT attempt to touch or shift the line while the
capstan is spinning. If an adjustment is necessary,
stop the drill and then make the adjustment.
• It is recommended that when pulling wire or cable
that the cordless drill be operated in LOW speed
to avoid damage to the cable during the pulling
process. Other low force cable pulling scenarios,
like pulling rope into conduit with pulling line (as
setup for a larger cable pull), can be run in HIGH
speed if desired.
4. When the cable pull is complete, the pulling line or
mule tape can be removed. First separate the pulling
line or mule tape from the wire, cable, or rope that
has been pulled.
5. To remove the pulling line/tape when the pull is
complete, unscrew the knob of the capstan wall. Once
fully unscrewed, remove the wall from the capstan.
6. The spool of line or tape can be removed from the
capstan by grasping the line/tape and sliding it off the
end of the capstan.
7. After the pulling line or mule tape has been removed
from the capstan, screw the capstan wall back onto
the capstan.
