damage the puller. Do not operate the puller with less than 3 wraps of cable on the spindle. Always use an adequate sling, eyebolt, or other accessory attached to the load to be pulled. Make sure there is positive engagement of the puller hook to the load. Wear heavy duty gloves and be careful not to pinch your fingers. Make sure the load is on a flat, level surface before it is released.
3. Release Cable. To allow the cable to run freely, squeeze up the stop pawl trigger. Walk with the cable puller back to the anchor point. 4. Release Stop Pawl Trigger. Once you reach the anchor point, release the stop pawl trigger and make sure it is fully engaged back into the ratchet sprocket. 5. Attach Anchor Hook. Attach the anchor hook to the anchor point that you will be pulling from.
Pulling the Load 1. Engage Drive. To begin pulling the load, the drive will have to be engaged. Push the drive pawl spring into the down position which will enable the main ratchet drive pawl to engage with the ratchet drive sprocket. 2. Crank Lever. Start cranking the lever handle backwards and forwards to begin ratcheting. Every time the lever handle is moved towards the anchor point, the load is pulled.
3. Pull Load. Keep moving the lever handle back and forth until the load is pulled to the desired position. 4. Secure Load. Make sure you secure the load that has been pulled so it does not move when the tension is released.
Releasing the Tension After Pulling 1. Disengage Ratchet Drive. First push the drive pawl spring into the up position to disengage the main ratchet drive. This will loosen the cable. 2. Push Lever Handle. Push the lever handle completely over to the anchor hook side. This will force the spring-loaded stop pawl mechanism pin down. Then, slowly raise the lever handle. Repeat these actions until the cable tension is released.
3. Loosen Cable. Now that the cable tension is eased, squeeze up the stop pawl trigger to release it from the cam and gently pull back on the puller to loosen the cable further. 4. Push Drive Pawl Spring. Leave the load hook attached to the load you have pulled and push the drive pawl spring into the down position.
5. Wind Cable. Hold the anchor hook in one hand and gently pull against the load while moving the lever handle back and forth to rewind the cable back onto the drum.
