WARNING
Pulling Rope should be the only thing to contact the capstan.
NEVER let swivels, grips, etc. come in contact with the capstan.
Keep as much rope confined in conduit as possible. This will
help prevent injury should the rope break and whip violently.
Rope must ALWAYS be pulled over a rotating sheave. If
a sheave does not rotate, turn cable puller off immediately
and determine problem before continuing the pull.
This cable puller is equipped with an anti-reversing pawl.
The pawl will make a clicking sound when the capstan is
rotating. If you can not hear the clicking sound as the capstan
rotates, immediately turn the cable puller off and do not
use until repaired.
ONLYuse 3/4” or larger double-braided composite pulling
rope with an average breaking strength of 26,000 lbs.
NEVER allow the rope to slip on a rotating capstan for more
than a couple of seconds. The rope will wear in that spot and
the rope could break under pressure. If you need to stop the
pull, turn the cable puller off and tie the rope off to hold it
in place until you restart your pull.
Keep all body parts, hair, loose clothing, etc. away from rotating
parts and pinch points. Keep hands away from capstan.
NEVER allow the rope to overlap on the capstan. If this condition
begins to occur, immediately release the tailing force on the rope
so that the rope can feed back toward the conduit or cable tray.
If this does not remedy the overlap, turn off the cable puller
immediately. There is no known solution for rope overlap.
Rope should approach
capstan as shown in
figure 5a.
ALWAYS use black
roller to guide rope so
that operator stands at
90º angle to the cable
puller and out of the
direct line of tight pulling
rope. See figure 5b.
ALWAYS wrap rope begin-
ning at housing end of
capstan as shown in
figure 5b.
To help avoid rope overlap,
rope should approach
capstan at a 90º angle.
See figure 5b.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION continued . . .

Some components of the mobile cable pulling package exceed
50 lbs. and will require more than one person to lift, transport,
and assemble.
ALWAYS inspect pins to be sure they are the correct part number
for the assembly and are fully inserted through holes and have
spring clips properly attached. Do NOT substitute any other
object for factory supplied pins.
ALWAYS check sight holes to insure boom tubes are fully
inserted into receiver tubes. Tighten all hex bolts to hold
boom tubes in place.
The pulling rope must come in contact with ALL the sheaves
used in the boom system. This includes the elbow unit sheave
when the elbow unit is installed.
DO NOT mount the Model 88 Cable Puller to square columns
or I-beams. The mounting chains will not tighten properly on
these structures.
The ONLY approved method to secure the Model 88 Cable Puller
is with the 2 mounting chains provided. Do NOT attempt to use
any other object to secure the cable puller.
Inspect mounting chains for wear before each installation.
NEVER alter the mounting chains or handle.
DO NOT use screw-on couplings when pulling in PVC conduit.
Screw-on couplings may detach and cause serious injury or
death. When pulling in PVC conduit, ONLY use slip-in couplings.
Thread screw-on couplings onto conduit a minimum of four
full turns. Inspect the conduit threads to make sure they are in
good condition.
The sides of the coupling adapter must both be inside the
nose unit side plates.
Keep hands out of elbow unit adjustment holes. Fingers can
be severed by pivoting parts. Use the pin provided (8093-5) to
lock the elbow unit. Remove pin only for adjustment.
When making a vertical cable pull, keep the area underneath
the cable pull clear of all personnel.

Planning the Pull
1. Remove the contents from the storage box and identify all the components
referring to the decal inside the storage box lid or in the instruction manual.
2. Plan the pull to determine which components you will need.
Coupling Selection
There are three means of connecting the boom to the conduit
using Current Tools screw-on or slip-in couplings. From the
information in this section, choose and install a coupling
that will meet your pulling requirements.
Screw-On Couplings
Screw-On Couplings, which thread onto the
end of rigid or IMC conduit, are provided for
conduit sizes 3”, 3 1/2”and 4”. Screw-On couplings
are the only approved coupling when making
a pull from overhead because they will support
the weight of the boom.
Screw-On Couplings Procedure:
1. Match the coupling to the conduit size.
2. Thread coupling onto the conduit until tight.
Then, slightly back off coupling until the
coupling receiver plate faces the direction where
the puller will be positioned. See Figure 10.

Slip-In Couplings
Slip-In Couplings are provided for conduit sizes 3”, 3 1/2”, and 4”.
Slip-In Couplings must not be used to pull down from overhead
because they will not support the weight of the boom.
Slip-In Couplings Procedure:
1. Match the coupling to the conduit size.
2. Place the Slip-In Coupling into the conduit until the middle ring
rests against the end of the conduit. Then, turn the coupling until the
receiver plate faces the direction where the puller will be positioned.
( See Figure 11. )
Slip-In Couplings Used to Straddle Conduit
Slip-In Couplings can be used to straddle the conduit. One advantage
of this is the couplings can be straddled on conduit sizes smaller than
2 1/2”. However, the largest conduit you can straddle using a slip-in
coupling is 4”( by using the 5” optional slip-in coupling. ) Also, when
straddling conduit with a slip-in coupling, you can NOT pull down from
overhead because it will NOT support the weight of the boom. When
using a slip-in coupling to straddle the conduit, the coupling must seat
against a concrete floor or similar structure capable of supporting
8,000 lbs. of force.

Slip-In Couplings Used to Straddle Conduit Procedure:
1. Choose a coupling that is at least 1”larger than the conduit.
2. Place the coupling over the conduit. The conduit must NOT extend
past the end of the coupling. ( See Figure 12a. )
Coupling Adapter
The Coupling Adapter is designed to attach to all
the couplings. The Coupling Adapter is the means
of connecting the nose unit to the coupling.
To Install:
1. Be sure the receiver plate faces the direction
where the puller will be positioned.
2. Slide the Coupling Adapter onto the coupling
receiver plate until the spring loaded pawl
“snaps”into place. ( See Figure 12b. )
