DPT-60 AND DPT-70
DRUM PULLERS
SPECIFICATIONS
The DPT-60 and DPT-70 are heavy duty drum pullers
designed for light transmission stringing. The reel drive
incorporates the latest in hydrostatic transmissions
that allow the operator to innitely vary the linespeed
and linepull for safe, positive control during the pulling
operation. The maximum desired linepull can be preset
prior to pulling so that the reel drive will stall if a restriction
to the line occurs avoiding damage to the conductor,
towers and hardware. In the tensioning mode, the
hydraulic system permits the line to be pulled at a steady
and controlled tension with automatic pull back to keep
the conductor suspended if the pulling force is reduced.
The central operator’s console allows the operator to
completely control the pulling operation with optimum
visibilty of the pulling rope. Operator controls include
linepull, linespeed, holding brake, levelwind and
engine controls. A freewheel disconnect and bronze
overspin brake are available for controlled payout
of the pulling rope.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
• Hydraulic overhead levelwind.
• 6052 Heavy duty pulling drum.
• Hydraulic front jack.
• Combination overhead/underground levelwind.
• Underground pulling drum.
• BR-6030 Breakaway reel.

SECTION I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DPT60 PULLER / TENSIONER
GENERAL
The DPT60 is a Trailer mounted combination Puller/Tensioner used for both overhead
and underground conductor installation. The unit has infinitely variable Linespeed and
Linepull control from ZERO to the MAXIMUM performance of the machine.
The machine is a trailer-mounted unit, which incorporates the TIMBERLAND Quick-
Change Reel Shaft System.
A drive pin, which is located on the drive sprocket, transmits the Reel torque between
the drive to the Reel Shaft. An adjustable combination lifting lug/locking collar prevents
any lateral movement of the reel on the reel shaft. Another lifting lug is attached to the
drive arm, allowing reels to be loaded by crane.

SECTION II
OPERATIONS
DPT60 PULLER / TENSIONER
CONTROLS
The controls that require explanation are described below.
BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH ALL
CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION. ONLY FULLY TRAINED PERSONNEL
SHOULD OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Figure 1: Control Panel
1. Hydraulic Gauge
This gauge shows the hydraulic pressure in the system. Do not continuously exceed
4500 PSI at any time during operation of the machine.
2. Linepull Control
The pressure in the hydraulic system is regulated with this control knob - See Figure
2. Clockwise rotation of the Linepull Control increases pressure and therefore
increases the Linepull. Counter clockwise rotation of the Linepull Control decreases

pressure and therefore decreases the Linepull. Once the system pressure is set with
the Linepull Control, the maximum Linepull will not exceed this setting. The Linepull
can be set at any level from zero to the maximum Linepull rating.
Figure 2 – Linepull Control Knob
3. Reel Brake
The brake is spring applied and released by hydraulic pressure- See Figure 3. To hold
the reel stationary, turn the Reel Brake Lever to the APPLY position. Turn to the
RELEASE position before driving the reel.
THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE CONDUCTOR UNDER STATIC
CONDITIONS ONLY
THE HOLDING POWER OF THE BRAKES AND PROPER FUNCTIONING OF ALL
MACHINE CONTROLS MUST BE VERIFIED BEFORE THE UNIT IS PUT INTO
SERVICE TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
WHEN STRINGING IN THE VICINITY OF ENERGIZED LINES.
Figure 3 – Brake Control

4. Directional Control
The reel turning speed (Linespeed) and direction is controlled by a single lever that
regulates the degree of pump stroke in both directions from the NEUTRAL Position –
See Figure 4. Movement of the Direction Control Lever in either direction – away from
the operator for ‘Pay Out’, and toward the operator for ‘Pull In’ increases the rotating
speed of the reel. The reel will remain stationary with the Direction Control Lever in the
NEUTRAL position.
Figure 4 – Direction Control
5. Direction Lever - Stop
A Stop positioned in front of the Direction Control Lever (4) will not allow the Lever to
be put in the ‘Pay Out’ direction without the operator lifting the Stop handle to allow the
Direction Control Lever to pass. The Stop automatically falls back into place when the
lever is returned to the NEUTRAL position or to the ‘Pull In’ direction.
6. Levelwind Direction Control (Option)
Lateral movement of the Levelwind post is accomplished by moving the Levelwind
Direction Control lever sideways in the direction you wish the Levelwind post to move.
7. Levelwind Speed Control (Optional)
Sideways speed of the Levelwind post can be regulated with the Levelwind Speed
Control knob.

8. Charge Pressure Gauge
This gauge displays the hydraulic system charge pressure. It should be approximately
300 psi.
Engine:
The manufacturer’s Engine Manual, which is included in the APPENDIX, contains
detailed technical information regarding the engine. Make sure you read and
understand the operating instructions contained therein.
DO NOT ALTER THE RPM GOVERNER SETTING OF THE ENGINE. THE
HYDRAULIC PUMP IS LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC MAXIMUM RPM AND CAN BE
DAMAGED IF DRIVEN FASTER THAN THE GOVERNED ENGINE SPEED.
PRE START CHECKLIST
Before starting the engine, make sure:
1. The Direction Control Lever (4) is in the NEUTRAL position.
2. The Brake Control (3) should be in the APPLY position.
Engine Start-Up
Refer to the Engine Manufacturer’s Operating Instructions in the APPENDIX.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the Direction Control Lever (4) to the NEUTRAL Position.
2. Move the Brake Control to the APPLY Position.
3. Decrease the engine speed to an idle.
4. Let the engine idle for a few minutes to cool down.
5. Shut down the engine.

FIELD SET UP / ANCHORING
Prepare the unit for operation as follows:
1. Locate the unit on level ground if possible, ensuring that the unit is aligned
properly with the line to be pulled or tensioned.
2. Level the unit using the front and rear jacks.
3. It is highly recommended to put wheel chocks around each trailer tire to
prevent movement of the trailer.
4. PROPER ANCHORING OF THE MACHINE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Anchor the unit using the anchoring lugs provided. Use anchors that will
hold three times the maximum pull of the unit.
Figure 5 - Job Site Setup – Anchoring
5. PROPER GROUNDING OF THE MACHINE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
The machine is equipped with a ground bar. To protect against electrical
hazards due to induction or electrical contact, the system must be
connected to a proper ground rod or the electrical system neutral. Follow
proper grounding procedures as required by IEEE and/or the applicable
standards in your area. Use of a ground mat and a running ground on the
conductor are highly recommended.
