Tips for Trouble-free Operation

• Take up slack between the reels and the cable feeder
before starting the pull.
• Start at a slow setting.
• Switch the cable feeder on and off as little as possible
during the pull. Use the speed control to match the
puller's speed.
• Use the speed control to prevent the cable between
the cable feeder and the conduit from becoming taut.
Allow that portion of cable to remain slack.
• If pulling a smaller diameter cable, the tires will
contact it at a larger radius than the other cables.
This may cause the ground cable to feed out faster
than the other cables. To compensate for this, pull the
ground cable back as follows:
(1) Increase the speed until you have built up a
15-second buffer of cable slack.
(2) Loosen the ratchet mechanism and pull back
the extra ground cable.
(3) Tighten the ratchet. Return the feeder to its
previous speed and continue pulling.
• If the ground cable slips excessively, place it and the
next cable between the first and second bars of the
cable divider. Place the other cables to the right.
• If any of the incoming cables approaches the cable
feeder at too steep an angle, the cable feeder may lift
upward. If this happens, move the feeder away from
the reels, anchor the feeder to the ground, or feed the
cable from underneath the reels.
