Puller Operation - Greenlee G10 Tugger Manuel D'instructions

Puller Operation

1. Fish the rope through the conduit.
2. Set up the cable puller. Refer to the illustrations and
instructions in the "Typical Setups" section.
WARNING
Set up the cable puller so that the rope will approach
the capstan at an angle of 90° (±5°). Angles outside
of this range may cause the rope to overlap.
90° (±5°)
3. Set the rope ramp as follows:
Pull Side Pull Side
Surface A
Surface A
a. Wind the rope several times around the
capstan.
b. Pull the ramp away from the mounting plate and
rotate it until Surface A contacts the rope.
c. Push the ramp toward the mounting plate and
rotate it counterclockwise until it locks into
place.
4. Plug the puller into a 20 amp grounded outlet.
Turn on the switch/circuit breaker.
5. The lights will cycle through a power up sequence
with only the "0" light remaining lit. The default
startup speed is high. The high speed light will
be lit. To change the speed to low, double tap the
foot switch. The low speed light will illuminate.
Double tap the foot switch again to change back
to high speed.

6. After the foot switch is depressed, the green light
indicating 0 lb will be lit. As the force climbs, an
additional light illuminates for every 1000 lb increase
in pulling force.
• If the continuous operating limit of the puller is
exceeded in high speed mode, the green lights
start to ash.
• If the continuous operating limit of the puller is
exceeded in low speed mode, the yellow lights
illuminate.
• The red light illuminates at 10,000 lb to indicate
that the maximum operating limit of the puller
has been reached. The circuit breaker (or current
limiting) may shut down the puller before or
shortly after the red light illuminates.
7. Make sure all nearby personnel are not standing in
line with or close to the pull rope. The right angle
sheave on the G10 should be used to allow the
operator to stand off to the side as required.
8. Position yourself so that you can see the force
gauge indicator lights. Refer to the table below.

9. Grasp the tailing end of the rope. Apply a slight
amount of tailing force.
10. Start the puller by pressing and holding down the
foot switch.
11. Tail the rope, allowing the spent rope to accumulate
on the oor between the operator and the puller.
12. When the cable grip emerges from the conduit,
stop the cable puller and terminate pull accordingly:
Pull the appropriate amount of extra cable through
the conduit for termination. Stop before allowing
the grip to come into contact with the capstan. If
performing a vertical pull, without removing the rope
from the capstan, tie the rope off and then securely
anchor the cable. Once the cable is secured the
rope may be removed from the capstan.
