WARNING – ROPE HAZARDS
Do not use nylon or polypropylene rope, extreme force can be
stored when rope stretches. Inspect all aspects of the rope before
each use.
Only use 9/16” diameter or larger braided composite pulling rope
with a minimum average breaking strength of 40,000 lb.
Pulling rope should be the only thing in contact with 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.
Do not wrap rope around any body parts. Do not wrap rope
around wrists.
Always keep rope away from operator’s feet.
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.
Never allow rope to slip on a rotating capstan for more than a
couple of seconds. The rope will wear in that spot and 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
the pull.
Never allow rope to overlap on the capstan. If this condition
begins to occur, immediately release the tailing force on the
rope. To do this, stop the cable puller, switch to reverse gear,
unload capstan, stop puller again, place in forward gear, and
finish the pull.
The pulling rope must come in contact with all the sheaves used
in the boom system.
