Unpacking
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to
your distributor and shipping agent. Do not
discard any shipping material until the Grip
Puller is assembled and operating properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are
intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported
to your distributor. Read the instruction manual
thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and
safety instructions.
Contents of the Shipping Container

1 Telescopic Handle
1 Swivel Hook
1 Wire Rope, 5/16” diameter (sold and
packaged separately)
1 Owner's Manual
1 Product Registration Card
Assembly and Set-Up
Pre-Lubrication
Before proceeding with assembly, lubricate the
puller as follows: Apply oil to the puller
mechanisms while continuously operating the
reverse lever (see Figure 1). This will help
spread oil to internal parts. Use special care to
oil pawls and links well. A wear-resistant oil is
recommended.
Without proper lubrication,
the pawls will fail to engage the wire rope,
and the wire rope will not move.
Inserting Wire Rope
1. Attach the eye of the swivel hook to the
fastening bolt on the puller. Be sure to install
the cotter pin through the fastening bolt.
Attach the hook to a suitable anchorage
point, as shown in Figure 2.
2. Release the clamp by pushing the clamp
lever securely into the notch on the puller
body.
3. Insert the end of the wire rope (the end is
welded to provide easy entrance) into the
rope inlet at the rear of the puller. Feed the
wire rope through until it emerges at the
other end.
