WARNING – TOOL USE HAZARDS (continued)
Do not operate cable puller in wet or damp locations. Do not expose to rain. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere. Some components of the mobile cable pulling package exceed 50 lb. and will require more than one person to lift, transport, or assemble. Always inspect pins to be sure they are the correct part number for the assembly and are fully inserted through holes and have spring clips properly attached. Do not substitute any other object for factory supplied pins. When making a vertical pull, keep the area underneath the cable puller clear of all personnel. Use caution during assembly and disassembly of boom components. Keep pins in place to avoid uncontrolled movement. Have control of boom components before removing any pins. Always ensure factory supplied boom tubes are fully inserted into the receiver tubes and that the spring loaded boom pins are fully engaged. Do not switch between low and high speeds while the foot pedal is depressed. Always make sure the puller has completely stopped before switching from low to high speed or high to low speed. Do not alter this cable puller. Doing so will void the warranty. Guards and safety features are provided for your protection. Do not use an extension cord longer than 100’. Extension cord should be a minimum of 12 gauge wire with ground. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING – ROPE HAZARDS
Do not use nylon or polypropylene rope, extreme force can be stored when rope stretches. Inspect all aspects of the rope before each use. Only use 9/16” diameter or larger double braided composite pulling rope with a minimum average breaking strength of 32,000 lb. Pulling rope should be the only thing in contact with the capstan. Never let swivels, grips, etc. come in contact with the capstan. Keep as much rope confined in conduit as possible. This will help prevent injury should the rope break. Do not wrap rope around any body parts. Do not wrap rope around wrists. Always keep rope away from operator’s feet. Rope must always be pulled over a rotating sheave. If a sheave does not rotate, turn cable puller off immediately and determine problem before continuing the pull. Never allow rope to slip on a rotating capstan for more than a couple of seconds. The rope will wear in that spot and could break under pressure. If you need to stop the pull, turn the cable puller off and tie the rope off to hold it in place until you restart the pull. Never allow rope to overlap on the capstan. If this condition begins to occur, immediately release the tailing force on the rope. To do this, stop the cable puller, switch to reverse gear, unload capstan, stop puller again, place in forward gear, and finish the pull. The pulling rope must come in contact with all the sheaves used in the boom system.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

Attaching Conduit Adapters
Option 1 - Using the universal adapter (Figure 1)
1. Loosen the 1/2” bolt on either side of the front head.
2. Slide the universal adapter in or out to accommodate the appropriate size of conduit, as shown in Figure 3.
3. Make sure that the adapter engages the conduit, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The universal adapter is to be used for pulling loads under 5,000 lbs. For loads over 5,000 lbs., the conduit adapters provided with your puller should always be utilized.
Option 2 - Using the appropriate 2” – 4” adapter (Figure 2)
1. Place the desired conduit adapter size into the top of the universal adapter. See Figures 5 and 6.
2. Slide the adapters toward the puller until the male pin on the adapter engages the female opening and stops. Tighten the 1/2” bolt on the side of the head body. See Figure 7.
3. Remove the adjustment hitch pin. Slide the puller into position and place the conduit adapter into the conduit. See Figure 8.
4. Replace all hitch pins.

Underground Wire Pull
1. Pivot front extension assembly as needed and reinsert pin.
2. Lift up front end and place conduit adapter into conduit. Always make sure conduit adapter sits flush around the conduit you are pulling through.
3. Replace pin front assembly to lock all parts tight. (This must be pinned for the puller to operate safely and properly.)
4. Make sure side set screw is tight on the universal adapter.
5. Do not stand in-line with the rope being pulled, (stand to the side of the puller) to avoid injury if the rope breaks.
6. Use proper lubricant to make pulling jobs smoother.
7. Determine which capstan you will be using. For lighter loads at high speed, use the large diameter capstan. For heavy loads, use the small diameter capstan. Note: To achieve the optimum pulling speed when making a wire pull, listen to the sound of the motor. If it is determined that the motor is straining, switch to the small diameter capstan.
8. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan. Start the capstan turning by stepping on the included footswitch. Pull on the rope to produce some tension. The rope will begin to advance. Note: If balling or backlashing occurs, reduce the number or wraps around the capstan.
9. Maintain tension on the rope. The rope will slip on the capstan during normal operation. Keep the rope moving so that the capstan does not contact one spot on the rope for more than a few seconds. If the rope stays in contact with the capstan for more than a few seconds, it will heat up quickly and may break. Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lbs.) of tension on the rope. If the pull becomes difficult, add another wrap or two of rope to the capstan. If excessive force becomes necessary, stop the pull and inspect the set up.

Overhead Wire Pull
1. Convert the Cannon 12K to an overhead configuration by removing the cinch pin at the main knuckle. Pull the snap pin, and rotate the front end right or left to the desired position.
2. To achieve optimum balance, slide base to adjust the front knuckle weight.
3. Adjust front knuckle and main knuckle for proper alignment of the adapter into and onto the conduit.
4. Use the universal adapter if the pull is under 5,000 lbs. If the pull is over 5,000 lbs. attach the correct size adapter and thread the rope through the adapter.
5. Install and tighten all pins.
6. Do not stand in-line with the rope being pulled, (stand to the side of the puller) to avoid injury if the rope breaks. Note: Use only low stretch rope designed for wire pulling, 5/8” to 7/8” sizes.
7. Use proper lubricant or no-lube wire to make pulling jobs smoother.
8. Determine which capstan to use. For lighter loads at high speed, use the large diameter capstan. For heavy loads, use the small diameter capstan. Note: To achieve optimum pulling speed, listen to the sound of the motor. If the motor is straining, switch to the small diameter capstan.
9. Loosely wrap rope around the appropriate capstan. Step on the included foot switch to start the capstan turning. Pull on the rope to produce some tension. The rope will begin to advance. Note: If balling or backlashing occurs, reduce the number of wraps around the capstan
10. Maintain tension on the rope. The rope will slip on the capstan during normal operation. Keep the rope moving so that it does not contact one area of the capstan for more than a few seconds, or it may heat up and break. Note: Do not exceed about 45 N (10 lb.) of tension on the rope. If the pull becomes difficult, add another wrap or two of rope to the capstan. If excessive force becomes necessary, stop the pull and inspect the set up.
