LAYING CABLES IN TRENCHES
- Pull the greatest amount of cable under the plate and then start pulling with the cable on your shoulder, with your back straight.
- Lift one end of the cover and rest it on the edge of the box. With the help of a workmate, let it fall in a controlled manner and adjust it so as to avoid sustaining and lifting the weight of the cover.
