CommScope ConQuest Conduit Construction - Manual (Page 47)

Aerial Installation 6.3
Back-Pull/Stationary Reel Method
Cable Puller Set-Up
Place an appropriate cable grip on each conduit. Secure the grip to the conduit with tape to keep the conduit from
backing out of the grip should the pulling tension be relaxed.
Place the cable puller on the strand and close the puller gates to secure the puller to the strand.
Attach a hand pulling line to the cable puller, or a pulling line from the cable puller to a winch. Place cable blocks to
support the conduit as it is pulled. The cable puller has an internal brake that prevents the cable puller from moving
backwards on the strand when the pulling tension is released. Do not overspin the reel – keep the conduit
wraps tight.
NOTE: Basket grips are typically used on 1 inch and smaller sizes of conduit. Screw in or
expansion pulling eyes should be used on 1¼ inch and larger conduits.
