    Fishing Conduit With Little Buddy
    1. Disconnect power 
    2. Identify both ends of conduit. Ensure switch gear or other components in area of vault or box will not be damaged by tape entering vault or box. 
    3. If conduit has existing wire, use flex tip on rod for pushing. 
    4. Insert rod through safety feed guide. 
    5. Tighten or loosen brake handle to minimum drag required so rod does not feed itself from canister. 
    6. Push rod through duct using short thrusts (approximately 6-12" long). This will take advantage of rod's column strength and minimize danger of rod breakage. 
    7. When rod end enters box at end of conduit and contacts vault or box wall, vibrations can normally be felt in rod. 
    8. Attach Pulling Eye to rod. Attach wire or cable being pulled to Pulling Eye. 
    9. Load rod back into canister as it is being pulled out of conduit. Use short, straight pulls to push back into canister. Do not bend, twist or jerk rod. Do not spin canister. 
    10. If pull stops, check for kinking in cable or wire at entry.
    Splicing Rod Or Attaching New End Ferrule 
    1. Cut away damaged section(s) of rod with a fine-tooth hacksaw or sharp knife. Strip jacket back about 1/2". Do not cut into or crush fiberglass core. 
    2. Use emery cloth to lightly roughen surface of fiberglass core end (Fig. 1). 
    3. Clean end of fiberglass core with solvent such as lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol. Allow it to dry completely. 
    4. Apply drop of adhesive to fiberglass core end (in case of a splice, do one end at a time as in Fig. 2A) and spread over core with toothpick or nail. 
    5. Twist ferrule while inserting rod (Fig. 2A and 2B). Clean off excess glue. For end ferrule repair, use emery cloth to sand off excess rod extending from end of ferrule 
    6. Allow sufficient time for adhesive to cure. It sets in seconds, but requires 24 hours for full cure.
