Set Up The Cable Puller

A. FOR CABLE PULLING FROM TRAILER
Move the cable puller from the travel position, if necessary, to achieve the best
possible pulling position as determined in section 4. There are two steps to
achieve this.

1. Change the placement of the cable puller on the trailer bed by inserting the

puller into one of the two mounting holes on the side rails of the trailer
frame. Note that the center (travel) position on the trailer bed already has
its own mount. Pin the mount from below the trailer bed. Lower the cable
puller on the mount.

!CAUTION:

The cable puller is heavy (125 lbs.). Lift only with

proper equipment or sufficient man power. Personal injury may
result if improper lifting practices are used.

2. Adjust the cable puller on the mount, corner positions only (figure 9). Align

holes in mount and cable puller. Place the lock pin (supplied) through the
entire mount and hook to secure the cable puller.

B. FOR CABLE PULLING WITH THE REMOTE MOUNTING STAND

In the event that the trailer cannot be positioned for optimum cable pulling
operation, you may choose to use the remote mounting stand integrated on the
trailer bed.

1. Remove the cable puller from the remote mounting stand first. Do not

attempt to remove the remote mounting stand from the trailer bed with the
cable puller attached.

2. Use a 1 1/8" wrench to remove the bolts securing the remote mounting

stand to the trailer bed (figure 11).

3. Position the remote mounting stand on a level surface for cable pulling.

Follow the guidelines in section 4.

4. Loosen the two screw-knobs on the base and slide the support tubes until

centered. Retighten the two screw-knobs.
