WARN INDUSTRIES * THE BASIC GUIDE TO UTILITY PULLING

OPERATING THE PULLZALL
WARNING
Always use
supplied hook strap
to hold hook when
spooling rope in
or out.
Practice using your PullzAll
before you pull or lift a load. A real
situation is no time to be learning
how to use your PullzAll.
Knowing the proper pulling
and lifting techniques can help
keep you and others around
you safe. And perhaps the most
important part of the pulling
process, regardless of the situation,
is what you do before you pull.
In this guide, you are shown
the basic fundamentals for effective
pulling/lifting. However, it is up to
you to analyze the situation and
make the decisions necessary for
the proper use of your PullzAll.
Apply your knowledge of your
PullzAll and the basic fundamentals
you have practiced to adjust
your techniques to each unique
situation.
Some keys to remember when
using your WARN PullzAll:
1. Always take your time to
assess your situation and plan
your pull or lift carefully.
2. Always take your time when
using a PullzAll.
3. Use the right equipment for
your situation.
4. Always wear leather gloves
and do not allow the wire rope
to slide through your hands.
5. Only one person should
operate the PullzAll while
pulling a load.
6. Think safety at all times.
7. Practice. Practice and
practice the steps.
Pulling or Lifting Procedure
The following steps describe
how to pull or lift using a single
line rigging technique. Double or
multiple line rigging techniques
follow the same basic steps but
use a snatch block to assist the
process. For details, see the
“Rigging Techniques” section in this
manual.
Step 1: PUT ON GLOVES AND
ATTACH HOOK STRAP. Ensure
the hook strap is attached to the
hook with latch on the wire rope,
not the swiveling anchor hook.
Step 2: CONNECT TO POWER
SOURCE.
Corded 120 VAC PullzAll
1) Connect the PullzAll power
cord to a properly grounded,
3-prong electrical socket.
2) Verify that power cords and
extension cords are positioned
so that the wire rope or mov-
ing load will not damage the
cords.
3) Verify that extension cords are
rated for 15 Amps.
Cordless 24V DC PullzAll
1) Ensure the battery pack is fully
charged.
2) Verify the power switch is in
the ‘Off’ position.
3) Slide battery pack into the
body, making sure that the
latch is fully engaged. The
battery release button must be
in the top position.
WARNING
Always use
properly grounded
120V AC 50/60
Hz single phase
receptacle
protected by a
ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
Never remove
ground pin from
plug.
Never operate this
AC product in a wet
environment.
Never route
electrical cables
across sharp edges.
Never route
electrical cables
through or near
moving parts.
Never route
electrical cables
near parts that
become hot.

OPERATING THE PULLZALL
WARNING
Never hook
wire rope back
onto itself. This
damages the rope.
Step 3: POWER ON THE
PULLZALL. Flip the power switch
to the ‘On’ position. Always leave
the power switch in the ‘Off’
position when the PullzAll is not in
use.
Step 4: SPOOL OUT WIRE ROPE
TO LOAD. Press the directional
switch to ‘spool out’. Always keep
tension on the wire rope while
spooling in and out. The wire rope
may unwind inside the PullzAll unit
causing bird nesting and binding,
leading to wire rope damage.
Spooling Alone: Attach the hook
with latch to an anchor point and
walk the PullzAll away from the
load.
Spooling with an Assistant: Have
the person handling the rope hold
the hook strap and walk the wire
rope away from the PullzAll while
spooling out the wire rope.
NEVER spool the wire rope out
past the red paint on the wire rope.
The red paint is visible when 13 ft.
(3.9 m) of wire rope is unwound.
Doing so can cause the wire rope
to spool on the drum in the wrong
direction. This can damage the
wire rope and fairlead.
Step 5: ATTACH TO ANCHOR
POINT. Attach the PullzAll to an
anchor point using the swiveling
anchor hook. That is capable of
handling the load.
Step 6: PLAN TO PULL. Line
up your pull as straight ahead
as possible. This prevents side
pulls that can allow the wire rope
to rub on the fairlead. Also, side
pulls cause the wire rope to stack
up at one end of the drum. This
can damage the wire rope or the
PullzAll.
Step 7: SECURE TO THE LOAD.
Establish a load point. Often a load
does not have a secure load point.
It may be necessary to secure the
load with a choker chain or a load
strap.
Step 8: ATTACH THE CLEVIS/D-
SHACKLE. Attach the shackle to
the two ends of the strap or chain
being careful not to over tighten the
shackle (tighten and back-off 1/2
turn). Secure the shackle into the
throat of the PullzAll hook.
Step 9: PUT WIRE ROPE UNDER
TENSION. Press the directional
switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. Use
the trigger control to slowly wind the
wire rope until no slack remains.
Tension in the wire rope will keep it
from bird nesting and binding. Once
the wire rope is under tension, stand
well clear, and never step over the
wire rope.
Step 10: CHECK YOUR LOAD.
Ensure all connections are secured
and free of debris before continuing
with the procedure.
WARNING
Never spool out
past red paint on
wire rope.
WARNING
Always keep hands
and clothing clear of
the rope, hook and
fairlead opening
during operation
and when spooling.
WARNING
Always use suitable
anchor point
capable of handling
load.
CAUTION
The Corded 120
VAC PullzAll has
some delay in the
trigger control use
the slow spooling
speed and release
the trigger early
to prevent from
spooling the hook
loop into the
fairlead.
