Check air pressure levels: Confirm the air hydraulic system has adequate operating pressure.
Inspect tires and axle: Ensure correct tire pressure and axle stability.
Verify drum compatibility: Confirm that the cable drum weight and dimensions are within the rated 10-ton capacity.
Prepare the worksite: Use stable and level ground for loading and operation.
Loading the Cable Drum

Cable Pay-Out Operation
Once the trailer is positioned at the installation site:
Stabilize the trailer
Park on level ground and engage wheel chocks or stabilizers.
Align with the cable route
Position the trailer so the cable feeds directly toward the pulling direction.
Adjust the braking mechanism
Set proper brake resistance to control cable payout speed.
Begin cable pulling
Use a cable pulling machine or winch to draw the cable from the drum.
Maintain steady tension
Ensure smooth and controlled cable unwinding throughout the installation.
