Step 1: Unreeling Cable or Strap
UNREEL ONLYWHEN PULLER IS NOT
SUPPORTING A LOAD! DO NOT ALLOW
LOADED UNIT TO UNREEL FREELY!
1-1 Attach cable/strap end hook to fixed object strong
enough to support load being moved
or lifted. ENSURE SAFETY LATCH IS SECURELY
CLOSED.
1-2 Place thumb on flat “spring” in “Y”
of handle assembly, aligning it with
two-directional arrow on the label.
1-3 Push until “spring” bows in direction
of “Down (Cable Out)”. PAWL “B” IN HANDLE
ASSEMBLY BECOMES DISENGAGED FROM
RATCHET WHEEL.
1-4 Hold handle and hook assembly such that gold
ratchet guard is on top and then pull upwards on
handle until it no longer moves.
1-5 Place thumb on gold colored lever of Pawl “B” in
handle and press down unti both pawls disengage
(can visually see
disengagement).
1-6 While holding Pawl “B” in down position, walk back-
wards until cable or strap reaches desired length.
MAINTAIN AT LEAST 2 WRAPS OF
CABLE/STRAP ON RATCHET WHEEL DRUM
WHEN UNIT IS UNDER LOAD.
Step 2: Lifting or Pulling a Load
2-1 After completing Step #1 and reaching desired
length, attach swivel end hook to load. ENSURE
SAFETY LATCHES ARE SECURELY CLOSED.
2-2 Place index finger on flat “spring” in “Y” of
handle assembly, aligning it with two-directional
arrow on handle and push until “spring” bows in
direction of “Up (Cable In)”.
2-3 Stand on the hook assembly side of the Puller, tightly
grab hand grip and move handle back and forth to
take up slack. (For Strap Pull’R #WS-25 only) Pull
strap through ratchet guard, walking towards fixed
object as strap is pulled, to take up slack.
2-4 As load begins to move, visually inspect
support object and hooks. KEEP FINGERS,
CLOTHING, HAIR, ETC. AWAY FROM ALL MOV-
ING PARTS! KEEP HAND ON GRIP!
2-4a If support object shows ANY sign of being unable to
support load, STOP immediately and release tension
on load per Step #3. Detach Puller, move to alternate
support object and begin again with Step #1.
2-5 Continue to pull load to desired position/
location. If handle no longer moves, limit of Puller
has now been reached. NEVER use
a “cheater bar” or handle extender! You risk
exceeding the load limit and CAUSING YOURSELF
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.
Step 3: Lowering or Releasing a Load
3-1 Before releasing tension, BE SURE that positioned
load is supported and secure.
3-2 Place thumb on flat “spring” in “Y” of handle assembly,
aligning it with two-directional arrow on handle. Push
until “spring” bows in direction of “Down (Cable Out)”.
PAWL “B” IN HANDLE ASSEMBLY BECOMES DIS-
ENGAGED FROM RATCHET WHEEL.
3-3 Tightly grab hand grip and pull handle in direction of
swivel hook assembly until handle no longer moves.
RETAINER PAWL “A” IN FRAME ASSEMBLY
RELEASES FROM RATCHET WHEEL. PAWL “B”
WILL ENGAGE PAWL “A” AND PUSH IT OFF THE
RATCHET WHEEL (1 NOTCH AT A TIME).
3-4 Push handle away from swivel hook assembly area
until “click” is heard, then pull handle back towards
swivel hook assembly. Repeat until load is in place. AT
ALL TIMES KEEP ONE HAND ON HAND GRIP
WHILE KEEPING SECOND HAND TOTALLYAWAY
FROM PULLER UNIT!
3-5 Once load is in final position, STOP moving
handle, disconnect both hooks and remove Puller.
3-6
Wind excess cable or strap back onto ratchet wheel per
Step #4.
3-7 Conduct SAFETY INSPECTION of Puller unit,
checking cable or strap, ratchet wheel, hooks and other
moving parts for signs of
damage. LUBRICATE
MOVING PARTS AS NECESSARY.
Step 4: Rewinding Cable or Strap
REWIND ONLYWHEN PULLER IS NOT
SUPPO0RTING A LOAD! AS CABLE OR STRAP IS
REWOUND, INSPECT FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE.
4-1 Attach cable/strap end hook to fixed object. ENSURE
SAFETY LATCH IS SECURELY CLOSED.
4-2 Place index finger on flat “spring” in “Y” of
handle assembly, aligning it with two-directional
arrow on handle.
4-3 Push until “spring” bows in direction of “Up (Cable In)”.
PAWL “B” IN HANDLE ASSEMBLY BECOMES
ENGAGED WITH RATCHET WHEEL.
4-4 While holding other hook in one hand and hand grip in
the other hand, repeatedly ratchet handle back and
forth until cable or strap is fully wound onto ratchet
wheel. WALK TOWARDS FIXED OBJECT AS
CABLE OR STRAP IS WOUND.
4-4a (For Strap Pull’R #WS-25 only) WIND STRAP
ONLY TO THE LIMITS OF THE RATCHET
WHEEL. ONLY 12 FT. OF STRAPPING CAN BE
RATCHED AROUND THE RATCHET WHEEL OR
THE UNIT WILL JAM. TO UNJAM WEBBING,
REMOVE RATCHET WHEEL BOLT WHILE
THERE IS NO LOAD BEING APPLIED. Coil and
bind the remaining strapping for safe keeping.
