Operating Instructions

  Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at 

the beginning of this manual before set up or use of this product.

 

This Gear Puller will deliver up to 5 tons (10,000 lb.) of pulling force.   
DO NOT use tool on any work piece which cannot withstand the specified amount of pressure.

1.  Open Return Valve (7) to fully retract 

Piston (2).  Close the Return Valve by 
turning it clockwise until hand tight.  Do not 
overtighten, as this will damage the seal.

2.  Place the Jaws (1) around (or in) the item to 

be pulled.  Be sure they will have a firm grip.

3.  While holding the Jaws in place, rotate the 

Puller Unit on the Puller Sleeve (6), until the 
end of the Piston (2) contacts the work piece. 

4.  Pump the Handle (11) up and down 

to force the Piston down, causing 
the Jaws to pull upward. 

5.  Continue pumping the Handle, being 

sure the Jaws stay in place on the object 
and the object is not being damaged.

6.  In most cases, a certain amount of pressure 

will build up, and the Gear Puller will 
suddenly loosen and release.  Support the 
Gear Puller to prevent it from falling.

7.  When finished, open the Return Valve (7) 

by turning it 1 turn counterclockwise 
(do not remove), and remove the 
Gear Puller from the workpiece.

8.  To prevent accidents, clean, then 

store the Gear Puller in its case, 
indoors out of children’s reach.
