PULLER ASSEMBLY
Please note that this Puller can be configured many different ways. It is very important to first
determine which configuration is best for the particular pulling application. Some of the variables
are as follows:
- 2 or 3 Puller Arm arrangement.
- Inside or outside Puller Arm finger directions.
- 3 Linkage attachment hole positions on each Puller Arm.
• Arrange Puller Arm (A) finger direction (in or out).
• Select Puller Arm attachment hole position (high, medium or low).
• Using 2 Nut, Bolt & Washer Sets (B), attach 2 Puller Arm Links (C) to each Puller Arm (A) and
the Center Yoke (D).
• Thread the Drive Ram (E) into the Center Yoke (D).
• Slip the Drive Ram Button (F) directly onto the end of the Plunger or add the Drive Ram Button
Extension (G) in between if needed.
• The Puller is now configured and ready for pulling (FIG 1).

PULLER OPERATION
• Place the Puller Arm (A) fingers securely under the edge of the object to be pulled.
• Back out the threaded Stem of the Drive Ram (E) with the “T” Handle until approximately
2” of thread are exposed.
• Thread the Drive Ram (E) inward until the Drive Ram Button (F) contacts the end of the shaft
to be pushed against. Hand tighten as securely as possible by gripping and turning the knurled
collar of the Drive Ram.
• Begin turning the “T” Handle of the Stem inward. As hydraulic pressure is applied, the turning
effort will noticeably increase.
• Continue to turn the “T” Handle until object being pulled releases.
• Remove, clean and disassemble the Puller to be placed back into the Case for storage.
Before attempting to pull an object, be sure it is of sufficient strength to
withstand the forces of pulling. Be aware that cracking and breakage of
valued components can and may occur.
Only apply whatever turning force is available by hand when rotating the
“T” Handle. DO NOT use a pipe or other torque amplifying device to exert more
pushing force on the Drive Ram as personal injury, part damage or
tool destruction could result.
