1. Set the Anchor Point
• The anchor point must be strong enough to take the full load and be near enough
to attach the cable puller to the load.
• If the anchor point is too far away from the load, a chain or cable of stronger
capacity than the load must be used to connect to the cable puller.
• Attach the anchor hook to the anchor point making sure the sprung catch is
closed.
2. Release the Cable from the Drum
• Free the drive pawl by sliding the pawl spring to the top position, shown in Fig. 2.
• Now, pull the cable whilst releasing the ratchet stop - See Fig. 3
( leave 3 turns of cable on the drum).
3. Attach the Load
• With enough cable removed from the drum, re-engage the ratchet stop. - See Fig. 3.
• Attach the pulling hook to the load.
4. Apply Tension
• Move the pawl spring to the lower position to re-engage the drive pawl with
the ratchet teeth as shown in Fig. 4.
• Pull the lever towards the anchor hook, the drive pawl will locate in the ratchet
teeth and wind the cable back onto the drum.
5. Release Tension
• When the load is in the required position, make secure to prevent return to
starting position.
• Move the lever into the position shown in Fig.1
• Release the tension by sliding the pawl spring to the top position, shown in Fig. 2.

Limitations
The capacity of the puller is based on a load with free running wheels and does not allow for drag. Loads without wheels
require significantly more power to move, as will loads pulled up a gradient.
The diagram below illustrates the reduced capacity when pulling up a gradient.
Do not exceed 180% gradient when pulling any load. TTH
