IMPORTANT - USER SAFETY AND PROTECTION: In setting up systems, take care to select the proper components and design to insure appropriate integration with your operations and existing equipment. Observe all safety measures to avoid the risk of personal injury and property damage from your application or system.

INTRODUCTION
GB Electrical produces three different models of cable pullers. Each version uses the CP800 power head assembly. Differences between models are based on the accessories included with each model or the length of rope provided with the cable puller. Since the same CP800 power head is part of each model, the instructions and safety information apply to all uses of GB powered cable pullers.
Cable pulling encounters a wide variety of situations and materials. Because of that variety, it is not possible to provide instruction that applies to each unique situation. Principles presented here provide as much general assistance as possible. Assembly instructions are specific. Follow them precisely to ensure safe, reliable and effective cable puller installations.
All instructions are important, but safety is paramount during pulling. Safety alert symbols are located throughout this manual, and a separate section is included to identify specific safety concepts.
Before operating the GB cable puller, read and understand this entire manual. If you do not understand any area or subject, contact GB Electrical, Inc. at 1-414-352-4160 or 1-800-624-4320.
Ask for Technical Services.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
DANGER
DANGER
The powered cable puller CP800 and its accessories are designed specifically for pulling electrical cable through conduit or across cable trays. GB does not recommend pulling any other objects or materials. Using this unit for any other pulling or lifting activity could result in serious injury or death.
Operate the Cable Puller only in well lighted areas.
Cable puller models CP800, CP8003, CP8006 and CP8000D plus accessory items are rated at 8,000 lbs. maximum pulling force. Attempts to exceed 8,000 lbs. could result in severe injury, death and major property damage.
All pull set-ups must be approved by qualified supervisors. Follow all safety precautions and wear appropriate safety clothing.
Keep the pull rope away from the operator’s feet. Coil the tailing rope in an area where the operator cannot become entangled.
Do not allow pull rope to wrap around the legs, arms or torso of anyone. A quick release of the rope will cause severe injuries.
Never stand directly under a vertical pull. Do not stand directly in front of a pull rope under tension. The operator must stand at an angle to the capstan. Keep all other personnel away from the cable puller.
Inspect all cable puller components prior to pulling cable. Never use worn or damaged parts or accessories.
Never use general purpose rope. Use only GB double braided polyester, 3/4” diameter rope. All rope must have a working load of 8,000 lbs. minimum.
Rope that breaks under tension may recoil, causing serious injuries and property damage.
After each pull, inspect the rope for abrasion and cuts in the strands. Do not use damaged rope for pulling cable.
