OPERATION
Cable Puller Components
I. CP800 Power Head
The power head consists of an electric DC motor rectified for AC current. The motor is mated to a
3-stage planetary gear drive system. Attached to the motor are the on/off switch, load meter and power cord.
At the gear drive output end is a capstan for rope. The entire power head assembly is bolted to a steel
bracket assembly. Maximum pulling capacity is 8,000 lbs. Power source requires 120VAC, 50/60 HZ and a
20 AMP circuit.
Avoid motor overheating during cable pulls. For pulls in excess of
4,000 lbs., stop motor, tie off rope, and let motor cool for five to seven
minutes. Use load meter to constantly monitor pulls. Sudden spikes or
jumps in pull forces indicate increased friction. The load meter is
calibrated in 1,000 lb. increments. Color coding provides a quick
reference of what pull range is being shown. Green 0 - 4,000 lbs;
Yellow 4,000 - 8,000 lbs; Red 8,000 - 10,000 lbs.
Immediately stop any cable pull during which the load meter registers in
the red zone. Do not operate puller when pull requires more than
8,000 lbs. of pulling force. Cable puller and accessories are rated for a
maximum of 8,000 lbs. pull force.
The CP800 power head assembly can be used alone or in conjunction with a variety of accessories. For
recommended set-ups, refer to the illustrations at the end of this instruction manual. Virtually every cable pull
has unique differences. Due to the differences, it is not possible to show every set-up. However, the principles
of cable pulling will be explained and each set-up must apply the principles correctly to avoid dangerous
situations.
Use only the mounting chains CP503 or CP504 to attach the power head
to accessories and fixed supports. Using any other chain could cause the
power head to stretch the chain, loosen or move. A loose or stretched
chain could cause injury, death or property damage.
Mounting the power head to another accessory is accomplished using two chains (CP503 or CP504) or
two CP505 eight-inch anchor pins. The pins are designed for mounting CP800 to the CP601 frame adaptor.
