INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Secure the Sock Around the Cable Properly
Make sure to place the cable pulling sock around the cable securely. The mesh should hold the cable firmly, but avoid overtightening. A secure fit will prevent the sock from slipping or damaging the cable during the pull.
Check Size and Load Capacity Before Use
Verify that you’re using the correct size and load capacity for your cable. Using the wrong size can lead to instability or damage. Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure you’ve chosen the right sock for your cable’s diameter and weight.
Inspect for Wear or Damage Before Each Use
Inspect the sock for any signs of damage such as fraying, tears, or mesh wear. If you find any issues, replace the sock immediately to maintain safety. Using a damaged sock could compromise your pull and potentially cause accidents.
Don’t Exceed the Recommended Load
Always make sure you’re not exceeding the sock’s recommended load capacity. Excessive force during a cable pull can stretch or break the sock, leading to unsafe conditions. Always match the pulling equipment to the sock’s rated capacity to ensure safe operation.
