Operating

the Capstan Adaptor

The capstan adapter is designed to pull wire through

underground conduit and is not meant for pulling

heavy loads (i.e., being used as a winch).

IMPORTANT: Two people are required to

operate the capstan.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• If the capstan is used as a winch (i.e.,

winding rope or cable around the capstan

and pulling heavy loads), the traction unit

could become unstable and tip over.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• If the traction unit tips over, you or others

could be crushed.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

• DO NOT use the capstan adaptor as a

winch.

• Never wind the rope around the capstan

more than three times and always pull the

excess r

ope off of the capstan during

operation.

1. Start the engine and run it at a low speed. Place

the pump selector valve in the fast (rabbit)

position.

2. Position the capstan adaptor so its axis is

horizontal and it is close to the ground.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Keep the capstan adaptor

close to the ground during operation.

3. Tie one end of a rope to the wire to be pulled.

4. Keeping the rope tight between the wire and the

capstan, wrap the rope around the capstan three

times.

5. While one person pulls up on the free end of the

rope to keep it tight and perpendicular to the

incoming rope, the other should use the auxiliary

hydraulics lever to rotate the capstan adaptor in

the appropriate direction.

Note: The person pulling on the free end of

the rope can control the speed and

pulling force by changing the tension

on the free end.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• If the outgoing rope is pulled inline with

the incoming rope and the rope breaks, the

rope may snap back dangerously.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•

The r

ope could seriously injure your or

someone else’

s eyes.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

• Always pull the out going rope

perpendicular to the incoming rope.

• Always wear safety glasses when operating

the capstan.

6. When finished, stop the auger drive head, stop

the engine, and remove the rope.
