Diagram of Components:

The diagram below pairs names with parts. However, models PAL-12, PAL-21, and PAL-LP have a chain in

place of the shackle. Model PAL-12 does not have link arms.

Inspections and Maintenance:

Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to keep the puller in satisfactory operating condition.

Inspections:

DO NOT use the puller if it fails any part of the inspection described below.

Inspect the puller before it is used for the first time. Thereafter, inspect the unit regularly, i.e. at least once per

week. Inspect the following:

1. Jaw arms and link arms: examine the arms for twisting, bending and warping regions. Pay particular

attention to pivot points.

2. Pins: check all pivot pins and the shackle pins for straightness. Each pin should be able to rotate freely.

3. Shackle or chain: inspect for cracks, elongations and deformations.

4. Grippers: confirm soundness of welds to the jaw arms.

5. All components: check for excessive wear.

Maintenance:

1. Clean the puller periodically to preserve the paint.

2. Lubricate all of the pivot points.
