Back-Pull/Stationery Reel - Passing the Lasher at the Pole
Passing the Lasher at the Pole
Pull the lasher toward the pole to be passed. Attach a lashing wire clamp to the strand. Remove the lasher from
the strand and move it across the pole-face to the strand and cable on the opposite side of the pole.
Put the cable into the lasher. Close the gates to prevent the lasher from being pulled backward along the strand.
Cut the lashing wire from the lasher and secure the lashing wire to the lashing wire clamp. Make sure that the
lashing wire does not loosen from around the cable.
Attach appropriate straps and spacers as needed. At the back end of the lasher, attach a lashing wire clamp to
the strand about to be lashed. Attach the lashing wire to the clamp. Continue lashing as before.
Carefully rotate the cable reel to take up any excess cable slack prior to lashing each section.
Remember not to lash the cable too tightly. Coaxial cable must be permitted to contract and
expand along the strand or the cable may buckle and fail.
