Pulling Flush Pounded Stakes with the JackJaw302 and AC0009 Adapter

VERY IMPORTANT:
If you are pulling a stake from a stake bar or frame plate, put
the metal base of the JackJaw unit
ON TOP
of the bar or plate. You must pull the stake
straight out of the bar or plate. If the unit is on the ground next to the bar or plate, a slight
misalignment can cause the stake to bind with the bar, making it dif
fi
cult to pull from the bar.
If you pound your stakes so that the heads of the stakes are
fl
ush with the surface or
fl
ush to a
stake bar or frame plate (Figures 6 & 7) you will need an optional stake adapter, AC0009. The Jack-
Jaw302 was designed speci
fi
cally to solve this problem.
Step 1:
Slip the AC0009 stake adapter over the head of the stake. See Figure 8.
Step 2:
Pull the ring pin at the bottom of the stake puller and extend the base to the high position.
Re-insert the pin in the highest hole. Figure 9.
Step 3:
Place the metal base of the stake puller as close to the stake as possible. When using a
stake bar system, put the metal base of the JackJaw on top of the bar. Figure 10.
Step 4:
Raise the handle of the stake puller, and put the shaft of the stake adapter between the
jaws of the stake puller. Be careful not to put your
fi
ngers in between the jaws and the adapter!
Step 5:
Let the handle down to close the jaws on the shaft of the stake adapter.
Step 6:
Push down on the handle, pulling up on the adapter (and the stake) until 4-5 inches of the
stake are exposed. It may take two or three pulls on the adapter. Figure 11.
Step 7:
Move the stake adapter to the next stake and repeat Steps 1 - 6 for each of
fl
ush pounded
stakes that you need to pull. After all stakes have been pulled up to expose 4-5 inches of each stake
shaft, go to Step 8.
Step 8:
Pull the ring pin from the high position and retract the base to the normal low position.
Re-insert the pin in the lowest hole. Figure 12.
Step 9:
Pull all the stakes the rest of the way out using the steps from “Basic Stake Pulling.”

Dif
fi
cult or Very Tight Stake Removal
If you encounter dif
fi
cult or very tight stakes, you can optimize the pulling power of the
JackJaw by positioning the lever arm perpendicular to the vertical shaft of the stake puller.
This maximizes the leverage from the
fi
rst and most important push on the handle. See
Figure 5.
To get this position, follow steps 1-2 to put the stake puller on the stake. Then, gently lift
the slide block with your hand from underneath so that the jaws slide up the stake slightly,
until the handle is perpendicular. This allows you to get your full weight, safely and comfort-
ably on top of the stake puller handle for the
fi
rst push. Since the handle is perpendicular,
the leverage is maximized in this position.

WARNING:
Do not lengthen the handle of the JackJaw stake extractors. The JackJaw unit
must only be used for stake removal. Use extreme caution in the vicinity of moving parts such
as the fulcrum area and gripping jaws. Improper use of this tool is likely to result in serious
bodily injury or damage for which Construction Accessories shall not be responsible.
