HOW TO OPERATE A LONG HAUL ROPE PULLER

Step 1: Installing the Rope

NO NEED TO REMOVE ROPE ONCE
INSTALLED UNLESS LONGER LENGTH IS
NEEDED.*

1-1

Rope provided separately from Rope Puller.

USE ONLY 1/2" ROPE

.

1-2

Place index finger on flat “spring” in “Y” of
handle assembly, aligning it with two-
directional arrow on handle and push until
“spring” bows in direction of “Up (Cable In)”.

1-3

Rest unit on ratchet guard with handle point-
ed upwards, take plain end of rope
and insert through rope guide in direction of
ratchet wheel.

1-4

Lead rope over top of ratchet wheel, then
extend rope downwards between black
spring and ratchet wheel.

1-5

Grab end of rope underneath black spring,
pull to length of approximately 12"
and insert snugly between ratchet
wheel and ratchet guard.

1-6

Repeatedly move handle back and forth
until rope comes out other side of guard.

KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY
FROM MOVING PARTS! 

Step 2: Positioning a Puller

2-1

With rope properly installed per Step #1,
attach rope hook to a fixed object strong
enough to support load being  moved 
or lifted. 

MAKE SURE SAFETY LATCH IS

SECURELY CLOSED!

2-1A If using a rope without a hook attached,

then 

SECURELY TIE

rope to fixed object.

2-2

To position behind load, pull rope through
ratchet guard, walking towards fixed object
as rope is pulled.

2-3

With Rope Puller in position, attach
swivel end hook to load.

*Note:

All specifications for the Maasdam Long Haul 

Rope Puller are based on rope provided by Maasdam
Pow’R-Pull. Results and capacity limits may vary 
with rope supplied by other manufacturers.

Step 3: Lifting or Pulling a Load

3-1

After completing Steps #1 and #2, remove slack
in rope by  either pulling loose
end of rope through ratchet guard until  rope is
snug or, while standing on hook assembly side
of the  Puller, tightly grab hand grip and move
handle back and forth until rope is taut.

3-2

As load begins to move, visually inspect 
support object and hooks.  

KEEP FINGERS,

CLOTHING, HAIR, ETC. AWAY FROM ALL
MOVING PARTS! KEEP HAND ON GRIP!

3-2a If support object shows ANY sign of being 

unable to support load, 

STOP

immediately 

and release tension on load per Step #4.
Detach Rope Puller, move to alternative 
support object and begin again with Step #1.

3-3 Continue to pull load to desired position/

location. If handle no longer moves, limit 
of Rope Puller has now been reached. 

NEVER use a “cheater bar” or handle extender!

You risk exceeding the load limit and 

CAUSING

YOURSELF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.
