- 1. Do not exceed a pulling tension of 20% of the ultimate breaking
strength of the cable (these figures are available from the cable maker.) - 2. Lubricate the raceway generously with a suitable pulling compound.
(Check with the manufacturer for types of lubricants that are best suited
to the type of cable.) - 3. Use pulling eyes for manhole installations.
- 4. For long underground runs, pull the cable both ways from a centrally
located manhole to avoid splicing. Use pulling eyes on each end. - 5. Do not bend, install, or rack any cable in an arc of less than 12 times
the cable diameter.
