Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
• Check the condition of the entire rope before use.
A worn or damaged rope can break under tension
and whip violently.
• Do not maintain a stationary rope on a rotating
capstan. The wear generated may cause the rope
to break under tension and whip violently.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
Attach the pulling rope to the cable with appropriate
types of connectors. Select connectors with a rated
capacity of 4000 pounds. An under-rated connector
can break under tension.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Do not put ngers through holes in
elbow unit. Rotating parts may cut off
ngers.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Keep hands away from the capstan.
Rope at the capstan can crush a hand.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
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 can be
released quickly.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Rope, cable, or a connecting device can break under
tension, causing the rope to whip violently.

Initial Assembly
1. Insert the leg and wheel assembly tubes together
and secure with a short detent pin.
2. Lock the leg from pivoting by inserting the long
detent pin into one of the holes in the puller head
side plate.
3. Lay the puller down so the bar with the small
sheave is next to the ground and the main boom
is up in the air.
4. Slide the telescopic boom into the main boom and
secure with a long detent pin.
5. Slide the nose onto the telescopic boom and secure
with a long detent pin.

Assembly
To open from the folded position shown in Fig. 1, pull
the detent pin that locks the leg to the puller head and
let the wheel assembly drop to the oor as shown in
Fig. 2. Pull the pin that locks the wheels to the leg and
rotate the wheels as shown in Fig. 2. Replace the pin
that locks the wheels.
Lift up the puller head until you can insert the detent pin
in one of the four positioning holes as shown in Fig. 3.
The bottom hole shown often works well as it allows the
puller head to act as a counterbalance for easy trans-
port and conduit attachment.

Pivoting the nose unit:
The nose unit pivots and locks at various degrees of
rotation. It is locked in place by a detent pin set located
between the sheave and the end of the boom tube
receptacle. To pivot, squeeze the grips on the detent
pins fully inward.
Squeeze
Grips
Make sure the detent pins on both sides are fully
retracted before trying to pivot. Release the grips when
the desired pivot angle is reached, and pivot slightly
more to allow both detents to engage in the closest
holes.
When the detent pins are squeezed to the fully inward
position, they can be locked in place by twisting them
counterclockwise.
Twist to lock.
Never pull cable with the detent pins locked inward; the
nose unit must be locked from pivoting before pulling.
Adjust the puller head to the bottom of the two puller
head pivot positions.
Adjust telescopic boom so that it is long enough to
reach the conduit or pull out the desired cable tail.
Reinsert the detent pin.
Place the conduit attachment nose near the conduit.
Setup—Up Pull

Setup—Up Pull (cont’d)
If the conduit is free-standing or without threads, posi-
tion the clamping jaws so that the conduit will butt up
against the overhanging ats of the grips.
Tighten the knurled knob until the locking jaws are tight
against the conduit at all four grip points.
Locking
Pin
Pull the pivot locking pin and adjust the nose angle so
that it is in line with the conduit.
Unscrew the knurled nut until the clamping jaws can t
around the conduit. The jaws will t 2" to 4" conduit.
Butt the bottom of the clamping jaws up against the
conduit lock nut, or the lip of the grips against the top of
the conduit.
