5. Release the Stop Pawl Trigger.
6. Do not wrap the puller wire rope around the load.
7. Attach the load to the load hook securely by properly
rated, suitable means, such as chains, shackles,
hooks, lifting slings, etc. Load must be attached to
prevent accidental disconnection.
8. Properly seat the sling or other device in the base
(bowl or saddle) of the hook (see the left side
diagram on Figure F). Do not allow the hook
hitch to support any part of the load.
9. Do not apply the load to the point of the hook
(shown in Figure F on the right side diagram).
10. Before moving the load, make sure wire rope is not kinked or twisted or that multiple part wire
ropes are not twisted around each other.
11. Do not operate the puller unless wire rope is seated properly on the drum, pulleys, or sprockets.
12. Do not pick up a load in excess of the rated load appearing on the puller or load block, except
during properly authorized tests.
Do not use a puller overload limiting device to measure the maximum load to be pulled.
13. Give specific attention to load balancing and hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.
1. Slide the Pawl Spring down to the engaged position, as shown in Figure D. The Drive Pawl
will be pressed against the Ratchet.
2. Do not engage in any activity which will divert the operator’s attention while operating the puller.
3. Respond to signals from a designated person only. However, always obey a stop signal,
no matter who gives it.
4. Do not move a load with the puller until the operator and all other personnel are clear of the load.
5. Make sure the load and puller will clear all obstacles before moving or rotating the load.
6. Do not move a load more than a few inches until it is well balanced in the sling or pulling device.
7. Each time a load approaching rated capacity is handled, check puller brake action by pulling the
load just clear of supports and continuing only after verifying that the brake system is operating
properly.
8. WARNING! Do not carry any load over any person.
9. WARNING! Do not carry personnel on the hook or the load.
10. Pull the Handle toward the Anchor side of the Puller. This will pull the Load.
11. Swing the Handle back and forth until the load has been pulled to the desired position.
MOVING THE LOAD
1. Do not leave a supported load unattended unless specific precautions have been instituted
and are in place.
2. Exercise care when removing a sling from under a landed and blocked load.
3. Secure the load so it will not move before releasing the tension on the wire rope.
4. To release the wire rope tension:
a. Swing the Handle away from the Anchor Hook to expose the Drive Pawl.
b. Slide the Pawl Spring up to the disengaged position. The Drive Pawl will be held clear
of the Ratchet.
c. Swing the handle to the Anchor Hook side and force the spring loaded STOP PAWL
pin down, then slowly raise the handle. This action will allow the wire rope drum to
back off by one cam step.
