SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and
use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal
injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal
injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1. Understand the equipment. Learn the pullers’ applications and limitations as well as
the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. Always inspect the puller before use. Ensure that all parts are in good condition and
operating smoothy, and that no cracks or distortion is apparent and the rope is not
corroded frayed or damaged in any way. If in doubt do not use.
3. Do not use the hand puller for lifting
purposes.
4. Do not exceed the pullers’ capacity.
5. Do not use handle extensions.
6. Ensure that all personnel stand well
clear of the load, and are not between
the load and the hand puller.
7. When using a car as an anchor point
ensure that it is “in line” with the load,
so that the rope does not pull the car
sideways.
8. Do not pass the wire rope around tree trunks or gate posts etc., to be used as fulcrum
points (see fig. 1) the abrasive action will cause severe damage to the rope.
9. Do not prevent the tool from pivoting to line up with the direction of pull (see fig. 1)
10. It is strongly advised that industrial gloves are worn at all times when using the puller.
Take care not to trap fingers within the moving parts.
11. When pulling or dragging a load, be aware that the load may suddenly ‘give’, eg. Pulling
a tree stump etc. Take the necessary precautions.
12. Never allow the rope to be unwound completely. Ensure there is at least ONE complete
turn on the drum.
13. Do not wear loose clothing, which could become entangled with the moving parts.
