Condux Extension Frame - Manual (Page 4)

4
Components
Two Extension Frame Kits available- One for Plus and HD CableGlider Cable Pullers
(Figure 3) and One for the STD CableGlider Cable Puller (Figure 4). Each kit contains the
following items:
1 Cable Puller Adapter
1 Center Joint
1 Duct End Joint
In addition to these items, a corresponding conduit adapter & retaining fork (both included
with CableGlider Cable Puller) and 2" Sch 40 GRC steel duct (not included) are needed.
!WARNING: Only use 2" Sch 40 GRC steel duct with Extension
Frame. Thin wall steel duct (EMT) or PvC duct will not withstand
the loads generated and will bend and break causing serious
personal injury or death.
The Cable Puller Adapter attaches to the first pivot arm of the CableGlider Cable Puller.
NOTE: The second pivot arm on the Plus and HD CableGlider Cable Puller
models must be removed before using the Extension Frame. Attach Cable Puller
Adapter to first pivot arm only.
The Extension Frame Center Joint is a directional joint placed between the CableGlider
Cable Puller and the conduit location. It provides a range of almost 180 degrees of
adjustment to the Extension Frame configuration. The Center Joint can be used, for
example, when pulling from a deep manhole. The Center Joint is not needed in every
configuration.
The Duct End Joint connects to the Retaining Fork/Conduit Adapter. It too is directionally
adjustable to meet the configuration needs of the pull.
IMPORTANT: The Condux CableGlider Cable Puller Extension Frame provides a
nearly infinite number of possible configurations. Several things, however,
should be kept in mind when configuring and assembling the Extension Frame:
1. Cable Puller Stability
2. Amount of slack desired
3. The proximity of the Cable Puller and the conduit
NOTE: The order of the following assembly instructions may vary depending on
job situations and configuration requirements. Always determine the approxi-
mate Extension Frame configuration for the particular pull before assembling.
