Read instruction sheet before operation.
3.0 KEY SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Do not use the cable puller for any other purpose or
application beyond its intended use. It is intended for pulling
wire or cable through fixed conduit, with the conduit adaptor
engaged in the conduit and fastened to the cable puller.
2. Do not operate the cable puller in poorly lit areas.
3. Do not exceed the maximum rated 10,000 lbs. pulling force.
4. Inspect all cable puller components prior to operation.
5. Keep the pull rope away from the operator’s feet. Gather the
tailing rope in an area where the operator or crew cannot
become entangled.
6. Never stand directly under a vertical pull or directly in line with
pull rope under tension.
7. Never use general purpose rope; always use double braided
polyester rope and inspect the rope for damage after each
pull. Do not use damaged rope for pulling cable.
8. Do not allow the rope coils to overlap on the Capstan.
9. Keep bystanders away from operations. Distractions increase
chances of injury.
10. Do not use the cable puller while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
11. Do not operate near water or other liquids.

7.0 MOTOR, GUAGE & WIRING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The CP10K utilizes a DC Permanent Magnet motor. AC power from the wall socket is routed through the Pull Meter & Switch Box
(Item 19) and a Bridge Rectifier in the circuit converts the AC voltage supply to a DC voltage supply to support the motor.
7.1 GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
If the capstan does not rotate, there are several possible reasons outlined below.
1. Mechanical Failure
A. Capstan/shaft key is missing
B. Internal gearbox failure
2. Electrical System Failure
A. Source Voltage Failure
B. Foot Switch Failure
C. Pull Meter Switch failure
D. Wiring Circuit Failure
E. Bridge Rectifier Failure
F. Motor Failure
DANGER: All electrical troubleshooting can be successfully
completed with the cable puller disconnected from the voltage supply.
DO NOT CONNECT THE CABLE PULLER TO POWER WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS DANGER WARNING WILL RESULT IN
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
7.2 MECHANICAL FAILURE TROUBLESHOOTING
A. If the motor runs when power is applied, but the capstan does not rotate, then confirm that the Capstan/shaft key is intact. See
Section 10.0, Figure 3.
B. If the motor runs when power is applied and the Capstan/shaft key is intact, the Capstan is not rotating due to an internal
gearbox failure. Replace the gear motor or have it serviced.
7.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE
A. Source Voltage Failure
Check for correct 120 volt AC voltage supply at the wall socket and extension cord if utilized.
B. Foot Switch Failure
Plug the foot switch into a 120 AC volt voltage supply. Do not connect the Foot Switch to the Cable Puller. With the foot switch
depressed to the on position, check the output plug for correct 120 AC voltage supply. Replace the Footswitch if necessary.
C. Pull Meter Switch Failure
Unplug the Cable Puller and Foot Switch from the voltage supply. !! IMPORTANT !!
Remove the 2 screws holding the Pull Meter & Switch Box cover in place.
Carefully pull the cover, including the pull meter away from the box as shown in Figure 1.
Use the probes of a continuity instrument to touch the two switch terminals (WITH NO POWER APPLIED) and check the
operation of the switch. The instrument should indicate continuity with the switch in the on position. The instrument should
indicate no continuity with the switch in the off position. Replace the Switch if necessary.
D. Wiring Circuit Failure
Re-assemble the Pull Meter & Switch Box cover if you removed it in step C.
Make certain that there is no voltage supply to the system.
Remove Pull Meter and Switch Box cover. See Figure 1. This will expose the Bridge Rectifier.
Use a continuity instrument to check for continuity between the Pull Meter & Switch Box plug and the two terminals on the
Bridge Rectifier marked “AC”. Note: the Pull Meter & Switch Box switch has to be in the ON position to allow continuity. The
wiring circuit is okay if each of the plug posts has continuity to one of the Rectifier AC terminals.
