Greenlee G10 Tugger Manuel D'instructions page 7

Attach the pulling rope to the cable with
appropriate types of connectors. Select
connectors with a maximum rated
capacity of 4.5 kN (10,000 lb). An under-
rated connector could break under tension
and result in ying debris.
Set up the cable puller so that the rope will
approach the capstan at an angle of 90°
(±5°). Angles outside of this range could
cause the rope to overlap.
BOOM SETUP
Always lock boom components in place
during assembly or disassembly.
Unsecured components could move
unexpectedly when maneuvering the boom.
Never place fingers through holes in
boom components. Always keep elbow
unit locked with pivot pin except while
adjusting. Rotating parts could cut
off ngers.
Use only Greenlee supplied booms or
straight 3" diameter rigid steel conduit or
schedule 40 steel pipe for the boom tubes.
Do not use boom tubes longer than
3 meters (10'). Longer booms could bend
and break.
BOOM TRANSPORTATION
When using the wheeled carriage to
transport the G10:
• Keep personnel out of the path
of transport
• Evaluate the terrain over which the
carriage is to move. If in doubt, obtain
additional help and move the carriage
slowly.
• Do not transport over inclines of more
than 15°.
• Do not transport the carriage with boom
tubes longer than the supplied 3' and 4'
boom tubes.
CHAIN MOUNT SETUP
Install vise chains properly.
• Follow the vise chain tightening
instructions carefully. Improperly
tightened chains can allow the puller
to slide or break loose and strike
nearby personnel.

G10 Tugger™ Portable Cable Puller
• Do not mount the chain mount to steel
conduit less than 63.5 mm (2-1/2") in
diameter. This will not support the loads
imposed by the puller.
• Do not mount the chain mount to PVC
conduit of any size. This will not support
the loads imposed by the puller.
• Do not setup the vice chains on a
structural support that is less than
51 mm (2") or more than 254 mm (10")
wide. Mounting to an undersized or
oversized structural support can allow the
puller to slide or break loose and strike
nearby personnel.
• Do not allow the vise chains to bind at
the corners when mounting the puller
to a square or rectangular support.
The vice chains must be uniformly tight at
all points.
FLOOR MOUNT SETUP
Install the oor mount anchors properly.
• Follow all oor mounting instructions
carefully. An improperly attached oor
mount can come loose and strike nearby
personnel.
• Do not attach the oor mount to masonry,
brick or cinder block. These materials will
not hold the anchors securely.
• If any of the four anchors spin before the
minimum torque is achieved, abandon the
location and start elsewhere. An improperly
installed anchor can allow the puller to
break loose.
