11. Align the Conduit Adaptor hole with the Pulley-B Housing
bracket hole and tighten securely with the provided Conduit
Adaptor hex-head bolt. (See Picture 5)
12. Remove Pulley-B Housing Lock Pin.
13. Release the brakes on casters and re-position machine
reasonably perpendicular to conduit wall.
14. Make final adjustments until the Conduit Adapter is properly
inserted inside of the conduit.
• The Main Boom angle can be increased by pumping
the Hydraulic Pump. The angle can be reduced by
slowly opening the pump valve. !! Use Caution !!
• The angle of Boom-B, the length of Boom-B, and the
Pulley-B Housing angle can be adjusted as needed.
15. Install the Pulley-B Housing Lock Pin to secure the
pulley housing.
• In general, the pull angle should be kept small as shown
above. Try to set up the machine so that Boom-B is not at a
large angle relative to the conduit. For conduit boxes further
from the ground, this is not always possible.
WARNING: For all set-up conditions, the rope must be in
contact with both pulleys. If the rope is not in contact with both
pulleys, then the Boom structure WILL fail under load.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
9.2 PULLING DOWNWARD
1. Start by following steps 1 through 8 as described in PULLING
UPWARD.
2. To set-up the machine for downward pulling, Boom-B has to
be rotated 180 degrees at the Pull Orientation Pivot (Part 14).
Do not do this by removing Boom-B extension and
re-installing it upside down.
3. Remove the Pull Orientation Pin. (See Picture 6)
4. Rotate Pulley-A Housing and Boom-B together 180 degrees.
You will see a label at the pivot joint that reads “Downward
Pulling”. This label should be on top. (See Picture 7)
5. Replace and secure the Pull Orientation Pin.
6. Remove Pulley-B Housing Lock Pin and temporarily store it in
the side clips of Boom-B. You will re-install it after engaging
the Conduit Adaptor with the conduit opening.
7. Make preliminary adjustments to position the Main Boom,
Boom-A and Boom-B for a downward pull to assure that rope
will contact both pulleys.
8. Release the brakes on the casters and re-position the
machine perpendicular to the conduit wall.
9. Make final adjustments until the Conduit Adapter is properly
inserted inside of the conduit.
• The Main Boom angle can be increased by pumping
the Hydraulic Pump. The angle can be reduced by
slowly opening the pump valve. !! Use Caution !!
• The angle of Boom-B, the length of Boom-B, and the
Pulley-B Housing angle can be adjusted as needed.
10. Install the Pulley-B Housing Lock Pin to secure the pulley
housing.
