Setup And Operation - Greenlee 2001 Instruction Manual

Setup and Operation

While reading through this section of the manual, look
for components that are shaded in the illustrations. The
shading indicates components that are associated with
the accompanying text.
1. Fish the rope through the conduit.
2. Set up the cable puller mounting. Set it up so that
the rope will approach the capstan at an angle of
90° (±5°) as illustrated in Rope Approaching the
Capstan.
Note: If using an adapter sheave, flexible pipe
adapter, or mobile T-boom, see the illustrations in
this manual. If using a manhole sheave or floor
mount, see the instructions supplied with those
items.

When setting up the flexible pipe
adapter or puller, do not use the vise
chains on a structural support that
is less than 51 mm (2") or more than
254 mm (10") wide. An oversized
NO
or undersized structural support
can allow the puller to slide or break
loose and strike nearby personnel
with sufficient force to cause severe
injury or death.

Install the 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.
• Do not allow the vise chains to bind at the corners
when mounting the puller to a square or rectangu-
lar support. The vise chain must be uniformly tight
at all points.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
3. Install the vise chains as shown.

Set the positioner against the positioning blocks.
c. Wrap the chain around the conduit, pipe sheave
adapter, or structural element.
d. Pull the vise chain tight and insert the chain pins
into the chain pockets, or recesses.
e. Turn the handle to slightly tighten the chain.
f. Repeat Steps A - E for the other chain.
4. Rotate the vise chain handles, by hand, clockwise to
fully tighten the chain. Do not use tools, extensions
or "cheaters."
