2.0 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Use a piece of cardboard to check for leaks. Do not use your hands. 2. Visually inspect hoses periodically and replace if worn or damaged. Do not exceed the working pressure of the hoses or fittings. 3. Maintain complete coordination with other members of the crew, giving them clear instructions by hand signal or reliable radio communication. 4.

2. Place the hydraulic motor assembly into the puller stand socket with the shaft extending over the pull box or manhole as shown in Fig. 2. Install hitch pin to secure motor assembly in stand as shown in Fig. 2a. Figure 2 Figure 2a (Hitch Pin Detail) 3. Place foot control valve on ground near puller assembly as shown in Fig. 3. Figure 3 Position puller over manhole as shown in Fig. 3a.
HYDRAULICALLY LIMITED FIBER OPTIC CABLE PULLER OPERATION 8.1 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS 1. Clean all hydraulic couplings before making connections using a clean dry cloth. Connect hydraulic hoses from rear of foot control valve to hydraulic motor. See Fig. 4a and 4b. Connect male coupling on the hose to the corresponding female coupling on the foot valve and motor and the female coupling on the hose to the corresponding male coupling on the foot valve and motor. Figure 4b Figure 4a 2.
8.2 CALIBRATION OF PULLER 1. Consult cable manufacture specifications for maximum pull rating and proper capstan size for cable being installed. 2. Refer to calibration chart for corresponding pressure setting for desired maximum pull and capstan diameter. For example, to set your hydraulic puller to a maximum pull of 600 Lbs. using a 32" diameter capstan, a pressure setting of 1,000 PSI is to be used. See chart below. Hydraulic Pressure Setting (PSI) Desired Pull 600 lbs. 750 lbs. 1000 lbs.
HYDRAULICALLY LIMITED FIBER OPTIC CABLE PULLER OPERATION 9.0 DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE 1. Release foot control valve and turn off hydraulic power source. 2. Disconnect all hydraulic hoses and wipe off any residual hydraulic fluid from the quick-disconnect fittings. 3. Place caps and plugs onto quick-disconnect fittings. 4. Remove the capstan from the motor assembly by pushing the capstan inward towards the motor then rotate the capstan counterclockwise approximately a Quarter turn. 5.
.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Solution: Motor assembly will not go into stand assembly. Check motor insert and stand receiver for damage or foreign materials preventing the insert from going into the stand receiver. Make sure hitch pin is not already installed in either the motor or stand assemblies. Cannot install hitch pin into motor and stand after assembly. Make sure the motor assembly is properly installed into the stand assembly, (See fig. 2 on page 8).
