Vestil CP Series - Manual (Page 5)

Use Instructions:
The operating instructions in this manual should supplement the operation recommendations of
ASME B30.21.
Only trained, designated persons should use the cable puller. “Designated person” means someone selected by his
or her employer, or by a representative of the employer, as competent to use the cable puller. Maintenance persons
and personnel who perform tests also may use the cable puller when necessary to fulfill their employment
responsibilities.
Step 1: Perform a complete “Frequent Inspection” as described in the most recent edition of ASME B30.21, BEFORE
using the puller. (Also see “Maintenance and Inspections” on p. 6-8). Proceed to the next step ONLY IF the puller
passes each part of the inspection and is deemed to be safe to use by designated inspection personnel.
Step 2: Inspect the cable. (See “Maintenance and Inspections” on p. 6-8).
Step 3: Connect the puller to an anchoring device/structure. The anchoring device must be able to safely handle the
weight of the cable puller, the cable, and the maximum rated load of the puller.
Step 4: Open the cable-ratcheting mechanism, by locking the cable release lever (E) and positioning the ratcheting
levers as shown in the photos below:
