Condux CableGlider Cable Pullers - Manual (Page 9)

Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT: While these instructions are written to apply to the Condux
Heavy Duty CableGlider, they apply to all Condux puller models. Where
operations differ for the Standard Duty and Plus models, those differences
are noted in the instructions.
1. Select an adapter that corresponds to conduit size and fit it into the
retaining fork.
2. Tighten thumbscrews on retaining fork. (See Figure 3)
3. Position and adjust cable puller for application desired. Refer to “Pulling
Applications Guide” (pages 13 & 14) for suggested placement and
adjustment of puller and extension arm(s).
4. Thread pull line through adapter/retaining fork and across all of the
sheaves. (See Figure 4)
!CAUTION: Failure to run the pulling rope across each of
the sheaves will result in damage to the puller frame.
!WARNING: Inferior rope may break. Ensure the rope is
rated for the load. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury or death.
5. Manually tension the pull line and wrap it clockwise around the
capstan. Each wrap will yield approximately 20% more pulling power.
If on the Standard or Plus models the rope size permits, wrap the pull
line around the self-tailing portion of the capstan. (See Figure 5) If you
wish to use the self-tailing capstan function, you must use pulling rope
with a diameter from
5 ⁄
8
" to 7 ⁄
8
" (16 to 22 mm). However, the puller
will work without the self-tailing mechanism with a variety of other
rope sizes.
