UTILITY PULLING INTRODUCTION
HOW THE PULLZALL WORKS
So, you have your WARN PullzAll and you are ready to put it to use. This guide provides you with a basic understanding of your PullzAll and teaches you the basics of proper pulling/ lifting techniques. Before we get started, we must emphasize that the information in this guide is general in nature. Because no two situations are alike, it would be nearly impossible to review them all. We will, however, provide you with the general principles and techniques to use this tool safely and effectively. Then it is up to you to take the time to analyze the situation and apply the proper technique. Along with a little common sense, the information laid out in this guide can help you lift and pull safely. Just remember to think through each lifting or pulling situation before you act. To Go Prepared TM , the following instructions will help you understand the operation of the PullzAll.
To begin, you should familiarize yourself with your PullzAll and each of its components:

Fairlead When using the PullzAll at an angle, the fairlead acts to guide the wire rope onto the top of the spooling drum. It minimizes damage to the rope while it goes through the PullzAll mount. Gear Train The reduction gears convert the PullzAll motor torque into a large pulling force. The gear train design makes it possible for the PullzAll to be light and compact. Load Limiter ( not shown ) Is a device that automatically interrupts the power whenever the circuit becomes overloaded. The ready/ overload indicator LED turns red under extreme loads and fl ashes red when maximum load has been exceeded. 5. 6.
WARNING Never operate a PullzAll without reading or understanding the operator’s manual.

Motor The motor provides torque to the gear train, which turns the PullzAll drum and winds the wire rope. Spooling Drum The PullzAll drum is the cylinder from which the wire rope winds. The drum is driven by the gear train and motor. Its direction can be changed using the directional selector switch. The wire rope unwinds off the top of the drum. Wire Rope The rope’s diameter and length are determined by the PullzAll’s load capacity and design. Wrapped around the PullzAll drum and fed through the fairlead, the rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s clevis pin. 2. 3.
