4. Pull the wire rope through by hand to take
up the slack and make sure that the exit
point is not obstructed.
5. While keeping the wire rope taut, push down
on the clamp lever and allow it to spring
back to its natural position. This will engage
the wire rope within the puller.
6. Mount the telescopic handle to either the
forward or reverse lever, according to the
action desired. Rotate the handle until it is
secure on the lever.
7. The puller is now ready to operate.
Operation
The grip puller uses standard ASA wire rope
and may be used in any position to lift, pull,
lower or stretch heavy loads. Before attempting
operation of this product, you should become
thoroughly familiar with the warnings on page 3.
To operate the grip puller:
1. Place load cable(s) in the middle of the hook
and inside the safety latch. DO NOT attach
any cables outside the safety latch on either
the puller hook or the wire rope hook. See
Figure 5.
2. Lay out the wire rope correctly without
twisting. Twisting the wire rope reduces its
strength. See Figure 6.
3. To send the wire rope forward, set the
telescopic handle on the forward lever and
move it back and forth.
4. To send the wire rope backward, set the
telescopic handle on the reverse lever and
move it back and forth.
IMPORTANT: A shear pin (#25 in the parts list)
is installed in the forward lever. If the load being
handled is too excessive for the puller’s
capacity, the shear pin is designed to break. If
this occurs,
decrease the load or use other
equipment of higher pulling capacity . The
broken shear pin is easily replaced using one of
the spare shear pins which are found within the
hand grip of the 1-1/2 and 3-ton pullers (see
Figure 1) and in the telescopic handle of the 3/4-
ton puller.
