Place the CP-50 puller on the duct with the duct adapter securely inside the duct and the standoff resting against the duct, keeping the unit in place. DUCT ADAPTERS Attach the nylon pulling rope to the string inside the duct. If a Rodder is used connect the pulling Rope to the end of the rodder. NOTE It is recommended the pulling rope be 1 4" to 3 8" diameter with a minimum of 500 pound capacity. Mule tape is not recommended for use with the CP-50 Puller 3.3
Section 3 OPERATION If the feed end of the duct is on a pole or above ground, install a stringing block over the feed end of the duct. Run the string through the block and pull the pulling rope back through the duct. If a rodder is used, feed the pulling rope over the block sheave after the pulling rope is pulled through the duct. Connect the pulling rope to the conductor by using a pulling grip and a secure knot. Run the grip and conductor through the stringing block and start it into the duct. CONDUCTOR NOTE If the feed end of the duct is pad mounted, use an underground roller or install a stringing block above the duct. PULLING GRIP 3.4
Section 3 OPERATION At the pulling end, route the pulling rope over the top sheave of the CP-50 and wrap it counterclockwise around the capstan sheave. NOTE To operate efficiently, the pulling rope should not have more than three wraps around the capstan sheave. Insert the gas powered drill into the drill mount, Make certain the drive adapter engages the hex shaft and the pin on the adapter is in the slot on the drill mount.
