3. CUT OR PULLED STRANDS: (braid on braid) When any of the jacket
strands are cut, rope should be downgraded. Careful attention should
be given to pulled strands and all strands should be worked back into
the rope. If in doubt, downgrade rope to a less demanding application.
4. WORN STRANDS: When the fibers show extreme wear in any given
area, rope should be replaced or downgraded.
5. HARDNESS OR STIFFNESS: When rope is very hard or stiff it usually
indicates the rope has been overloaded or subjected to intense heat.
Rope should be downgraded or discarded.
6. NYLON ROPE: Nylon suffers approximately 15% strength loss when
wet. This factor should be considered when selecting rope.
7. DOWNGRADING: A rope’s history is important. Anytime the rope has
been subjected to sustained loads, shock loads, or loads three times
the recommended working load, the rope should be downgraded
or discarded.
Powerpack Installation
Before installing or removing the powerpack, adjust the puller’s frame so
that it is nearly horizontal and so that the extension arm rests on the
ground (See Figures 1 & 2). This will ensure that the puller is stable.
!CAUTION: The powerpack is heavy. Use proper lifting
techniques. Improper lifting could result in personal injury or
property damage.
1. Remove the mounting pins from the puller frame.
2. Carefully set the powerpack’s front end (capstan end) on the front
mounting pin, gently lower the rear end into place.
3. Install both mounting pins through both the frame and powerpack.
4. Check that all mounting pins are secure.
5. Removal is the opposite of the installation procedures.
