5. Mount the cable puller on the remote mounting stand. Be sure the capstan

is placed between the support tubes, not over the support tubes (figure 12).

C. UNPACK THE COMPONENTS

1. Remove the capstan from its storage rack and place on the cable puller.

Align slots on capstan with pins on shaft and push on (figure 10). The
capstan sleeve contains a spring that must be compressed all the way,
then rotate clockwise until the capstan springs into place over the shaft
pins. The pins on the shaft must be visible through the holes in the capstan
sleeve. You should not be able to rotate the capstan at this point if it is
properly installed.

2. Remove the foot control and hydraulic hoses from the trailer bed. Set aside

for connection later.

3. Remove the Electronic Control Box, if equipped, and its power cord

(supplied). Set aside for connection later.

D. CONNECT THE HYDRAULICS

!WARNING:

Escaping fluids under pressure can penetrate the

skin and cause serious personal injury. Observe the following
precautions to avoid hydraulic hazards:

1. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Relieve

pressure before disconnecting hoses.

2. Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Do not use hands!

3. Do not exceed working pressure of hydraulic hoses.

4. Visually inspect hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
