different load setting. See section 11.B for details. For proper operation, the relief valve must be set at a
tension limit greater than the electronic tension limit.
D. ATTACH THE CAPSTAN

with the shaft’s pins. Push the capstan onto the shaft until it stops, then rotate clockwise until it stops.
Pull outward to lock the capstan into position. make sure the shaft locking pins are visible
through the holes in the capstan hub.
!NOTE: If using a capstan with a diameter other than 30 inches (762 mm), the hydraulic relief valve must be
recalibrated (section 11).
Set Up the Electronic Control
System
If the puller is not equipped with the electronic tension control system, go to section 7.
