OPERATION
4. With the cordless drill attached to the
G1 Versi-Tugger (see p. 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. The capstan
will begin to spin.
5. Using the hand not operating the drill, pull the
tail of the rope while the capstan is spinning. The
rope will begin to pull the cable and payoff as with
conventional cable pullers.
• If the rope loses engagement on the capstan and
begins to slip, stop the drill and add additional
wraps of the rope to the capstan.
• 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
can be run in HIGH speed if desired.
6. When the pull is complete, the rope can
be unwrapped from the capstan in a
counter-clockwise direction.
*See manufacturer instructions.
