DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION
The IToolco Cannon 6K is a 6,000 lb. cable puller intended to pull small to medium wire through
conduit. It sets up in only minutes, and is a dual capstan, four-speed puller. The Cannon 6K can pull at
speeds from 8 to 70 feet per minute. It does not need to be anchored to the ground, and is easy for
one person to set up, transport, and operate.

SET UP AND OPERATION
Assembly
1. Always wear gloves, eye protection, and appropriate safety gear when working with wire pullers.
2. Remove iTOOLco Cannon 6K Puller from shipping crate.
3. iTOOLco Cannon 6K is designed to be used with a drill motor, Milwaukee #1680-20.
4. Plug in the foot switch to the 120 Volt power supply and the C6K puller.
5. Make sure the motor is set to forward. Test the C6K by stepping on the foot switch. For pulling the
capstans should rotate so that the rope starts over the top. (not under the bottom) and wraps are
added accordingly.
6. To start, set the speed switch (located on the motor) to low.
7. Use the low speed capstan to start the pull. Use 1 to 3 wraps of rope around the capstan. Use the
rope roller guide and always stand to the side of the puller.
8. Step on the foot switch and begin to take up the slack in the rope.
9. Once the wire head has entered the conduit you may determine at which speed to pull the wire.
10. If a higher speed is desired, switch speeds on the motor by releasing the foot switch. Once the puller
has stopped, rotate the speed switch to high, and /or move the rope to the high speed capstan.
11. Complete the wire pull.

Attaching Conduit Adapters
Option 1 - Using the universal adapter
1. Loosen the 1/2” bolt on either side of the front knuckle.
2. Slide the universal adapter in or out to accommodate the appropriate size of conduit, as
shown in Figure 3.
3. Make sure that the adapter engages the conduit as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The universal adapter is to be used for pulling loads under 3,000 lbs. For loads over 3,000 lbs.,
the conduit adapters provided with your puller should always be utilized.
Option 2 - Using the appropriate 2” - 4” adapter (Fig. 2).
1. Place the desired conduit adapter size into the top of the universal adapter. See Figures 5 and 6.
2. Slide the adapters toward the puller until the male pin on the adapter engages the female
opening and stops. Tighten the 1/2” bolt on the side of the front knuckle. See Figure 7.
3. Remove the adjustment hitch pin. Slide the puller into position and place the conduit adapter
into the conduit. See Figure 8.
4. Replace all hitch pins.

Underground Wire Pull
1. Pivot front extension assembly as needed and reinsert pin.
2. Lift up front end and place conduit adapter into conduit. Always make sure conduit adapter sits
flush around the conduit you are pulling through.
3. Replace pin in front assembly to lock all parts tight. (This must be pinned for the puller to
operate safely and properly.)
4. Make sure side set screw is tight on the universal adapter.
5. Stand to the side of the puller, using the rope guide, not in line with the rope being pulled, to
avoid injury if the rope breaks.
Note: iTOOLco Pull Slick or only low stretch rope designed for wire pulling, 1/2” to 7/8” sizes.
6. Use proper pulling lubricant to make pulling jobs smoother (on feed side).
7. Determine which capstan you will use. For lighter loads at high speed, use the large diameter
capstan. For heavy loads, use the small diameter capstan.
Note: To achieve optimum pulling speed, listen to the sound of the motor. If the motor is
straining, switch speeds or swap to the small diameter capstan.
8. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan, using the rope guide, so that you can stand
safely to the side of the puller. Start the capstan turning by stepping on the included footswitch.
Pull on the rope to produce some tension. The rope will begin to advance.
Note: if the rope begins to ball or backlash, reduce the number of wraps around the capstan.
9. Pull and release tension on rope to maintain optimum pulling tension. This will keep the rope
from balling up or backlashing. The rope will slip on the capstan during normal operation.
10. Keep the rope moving so that the capstan does not contact one spot on the rope for a short
period of time, or the rope may heat up and break. Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lbs.) of
tension on the rope. Note: If the pull becomes difficult, add another wrap or two of rope to the
capstan. If excessive force becomes necessary, stop the pull and inspect the set up.

Overhead Wire Pull
1. Convert the Cannon 10K to an overhead
configuration by removing the cinch pin at the main
knuckle. Pull the snap pin, and rotate the front end
right or left to the desired position.
2. To achieve optimum balance, slide base to adjust
the front knuckle weight.
3. Adjust front knuckle and main knuckle for proper
alignment of the adapter into and onto the conduit.
4. Use the universal adapter if the pull is under 5,000
lbs. If the pull is over 5,000 lbs. attach the correct
size adapter and thread the rope through the
adapter.
5. Install and tighten all pins.
6. Do not stand in-line with the rope being pulled,
(stand to the side of the puller) to avoid injury if the
rope breaks.
Note: Use only low stretch rope designed for wire
pulling, 5/8” to 11/4” sizes.
7. Use proper lubricant or no-lube wire to make
pulling jobs smoother.
8. Determine which capstan to use. For lighter loads
at high speed, use the large diameter capstan. For
heavy loads, use the small diameter capstan.
Note: To achieve optimum pulling speed, listen to
the sound of the motor. If the motor is straining,
switch to the small diameter capstan.
9. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan.
Step on the included foot switch to start the
capstan turning. Pull on the rope to produce some
tension. The rope will begin to advance. Note: If
balling or backlashing occurs, reduce the number of
wraps around the capstan
10. Maintain tension on the rope. The rope will slip on
the capstan during normal operation. Keep the
rope moving so that it does not contact one area of
the capstan for more than a few seconds, or it may
heat up and break.
Note: Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lbs.) of tension
on the rope. If the pull becomes difficult, add
another wrap or two of rope to the capstan. If
excessive force becomes necessary, stop the pull
and inspect the set up.

Receiver Hitch Wire Pulls
1. Remove front assembly from gear box section.
2. Remove base plate pin and remove base plate.
3. Slide base tube into trailer receiver hitch with the capstans horizontal (motor toward the ground).
4. Secure puller to receiver hitch with base plate pin.
5. Wrap the rope as a bottom feed. Show below (Under Bottom Rope Start in Receiver Hitch Only).

Maintenance
Gear box is filled with high-temperature synthetic gear lubricant. Maintenance is required every 200
hours of actual pulling time. Gearbox takes 15.22 oz. 450 cc's of Shell synthetic Omala S4We or equal. In
order to drain and refill the gear box oil, start by unbolting the motor and lifting it up off of the gearbox
shaft. Next loosen the nut holding the large capstan in place and remove it, then slide the small capstan
and shaft out of the gearbox (be careful not to lose the aluminum spacer and brass bearing on the
shaft).
Now that the capstans have been removed, take out the gearbox housing bolts on both sides of the
gearbox, and remove the gearbox from the housing. The oil drain is located on the bottom of the
gearbox, drain and refill with the appropriate amount of oil. Always make sure that puller is clean and in
good working order before use. Replace any worn rollers or rusty pins before use. Always make sure
that Cannon 6K is clean and in good working order before use. Replace any worn rollers or rusty pins
before use.
