Aerial installation - drive-off / moving reel - passing the pole
Passing the pole
Attach a lashing wire clamp far enough from the pole to accommodate the tap. Open the lasher gates. Disconnect
the set-up chute, pusher and lasher and pass them across the pole-face. Place them on the unlashed strand and
reassemble them.
Close the lasher gates. The lasher cannot be pulled backward along the strand while the gates to the lasher are
closed. Cut the lashing wire and secure it to the lashing wire clamp. Make sure that the lashing wire does not loosen
from around the cable.
Attach another lashing wire clamp to the strand on the unlashed side of the pole allowing enough room for a tap.
Connect the wire from the lasher to the new clamp.
Place the cable in the set-up chute and the lasher.
Rotate the cable reel to take up any excess slack. Continue until the installation is complete.
Leave cable at planned tap locations
When passing the pole at planned tap location, coil 15 ft (4.6 m) of cable and store it on the pole. Mark the
upstream side of the loop with tape (like on page 5.8).
