4. Raise test loads only to the minimum extent needed and stay well clear of load at all times

during testing.

5. Do not use the wire rope as a ground for welding. Do not touch a welding electrode to the wire rope. 6. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury. 7. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working. 8.

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.

d. Repeat this action, as needed, until the tension on the wire rope eases. e. Pull on the STOP PAWL TRIGGER to release it from the cam and gently pull back on the tool to get wire rope slack and free it from the load. 5. To prevent entangling of the wire rope onto the drum, with the Load Hook still attached to the load, push the spring into its “Down” position. Hold the Anchor hook in one hand. While gently pulling against the load, swing the Handle back and forth to rewind the wire rope.

5. Check wire rope reeving. 6. Check puller lever for bends, cracks, or other damage. 7. Check for damage to the support for the puller. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM PULLER FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use. PERIODIC (THOROUGH) INSPECTION A qualified technician should perform the procedures in this section AT LEAST YEARLY. Inspection is needed more often for heavily used pullers.
