Operation
Attaching the Cable Puller
• Attach the Fixed Hook (1) onto the item to be pulled. Ensure the total load
will not exceed 2 tonne
• Check the item is securely attached and the Safety Bar (2) is closed
• Slide the Ratchet Drive Spring (5) across to the disengaged position so
that the handle does not engage the Ratchet Teeth (4)
• Press the Ratchet Lock Lever (3) and unwind sufficient Cable (6) from
the spool to attach the Cable Hook (7) to the anchor position. Release
the ratchet lock lever. Ensure hook is securely attached and safety bar
is closed
Pulling
• Slide the Ratchet Drive Spring (5) across to the engaged position so that
the handle engages the ratchet teeth
• Crank the Handle (8) backwards and forwards to tension the cable and
pull the load
Releasing the tension
• Slide the Ratchet Drive Spring (5) across to the disengaged position so
that the handle does not engage the Ratchet Teeth (4) (Fig 1)
• Carefully move the Handle (8) until the drive pawl pushes and disengages
the stop pawl and clears the ratchet teeth. Then move the Handle in the
opposite direction, to release the load by one notch
• Repeat this handle motion as often as required, to release the tension
one notch at a time, until enough slack has been provided to remove
the hooks
• Ensure load is stable and secure before removing hooks
WARNING: When releasing tension, avoid abrupt handle movements.
Apply pressure to the handle evenly and with a smooth action.
Abrupt movements can cause the load to shift, making it unstable
