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 ap-
proach 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
