OPERATING THE PULLZALL
OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Pulling or Lifting Procedure The following steps describe how to pull or lift using a single line rigging technique. Double or multiple line rigging techniques follow the same basic steps but use a snatch block to assist the process. For details, see the “Rigging Techniques” section in this manual. Step 1 : PUT ON GLOVES AND ATTACH HOOK STRAP. Ensure the hook strap is attached to the hook with latch on the wire rope, not the swiveling anchor hook.
Practice using your PullzAll before you pull or lift a load. A real situation is no time to be learning how to use your PullzAll. Knowing the proper pulling and lifting techniques can help keep you and others around you safe. And perhaps the most important part of the pulling process, regardless of the situation, is what you do before you pull. In this guide, you are shown the basic fundamentals for effective pulling/lifting. However, it is up to you to analyze the situation and make the decisions necessary for the proper use of your PullzAll. Apply your knowledge of your PullzAll and the basic fundamentals you have practiced to adjust your techniques to each unique situation. Some keys to remember when using your WARN PullzAll: 1. Always take your time to assess your situation and plan your pull or lift carefully. 2. Always take your time when using a PullzAll. 3. Use the right equipment for your situation. 4. Always wear leather gloves and do not allow the wire rope to slide through your hands.
Step 3: POWER ON THE PULLZALL. Flip the power switch to the ‘On’ position. Always leave the power switch in the ‘Off’ position when the PullzAll is not in use. Step 4 : SPOOL OUT WIRE ROPE TO LOAD. Press the directional switch to ‘spool out’. Always keep tension on the wire rope while spooling in and out. The wire rope may unwind inside the PullzAll unit causing bird nesting and binding, leading to wire rope damage.
Step 5 : ATTACH TO ANCHOR POINT. Attach the PullzAll to an anchor point using the swiveling anchor hook. That is capable of handling the load. Step 6: PLAN TO PULL. Line up your pull as straight ahead as possible. This prevents side pulls that can allow the wire rope to rub on the fairlead. Also, side pulls cause the wire rope to stack up at one end of the drum. This can damage the wire rope or the PullzAll. Step 7: SECURE TO THE LOAD. Establish a load point. Often a load does not have a secure load point. It may be necessary to secure the load with a choker chain or a load strap. Step 8: ATTACH THE CLEVIS/D- SHACKLE. Attach the shackle to the two ends of the strap or chain being careful not to over tighten the shackle (tighten and back-off 1/2 turn). Secure the shackle into the throat of the PullzAll hook. Step 9: PUT WIRE ROPE UNDER TENSION. Press the directional switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. Use the trigger control to slowly wind the wire rope until no slack remains. Tension in the wire rope will keep it from bird nesting and binding. Once the wire rope is under tension, stand well clear, and never step over the wire rope. Step 10: CHECK YOUR LOAD. Ensure all connections are secured and free of debris before continuing with the procedure.
WARNING
Always use suitable anchor point capable of handling load.
WARNING Always use supplied hook strap to hold hook when spooling rope in or out.
WARNING Never spool out past red paint on wire rope.
WARNING
Always use properly grounded 120V AC 50/60 Hz single phase receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Never remove ground pin from plug. Never operate this AC product in a wet environment. Never route electrical cables across sharp edges. Never route
WARNING
Always keep hands and clothing clear of the rope, hook and fairlead opening during operation and when spooling.
Step 2 : CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE. Corded 120 VAC PullzAll 1) Connect the PullzAll power cord to a properly grounded, 3-prong electrical socket. 2) Verify that power cords and extension cords are positioned so that the wire rope or mov- ing load will not damage the cords. 3) Verify that extension cords are rated for 15 Amps. Cordless 24V DC PullzAll 1) Ensure the battery pack is fully charged. 2) Verify the power switch is in the ‘Off’ position. 3) Slide battery pack into the body, making sure that the latch is fully engaged. The battery release button must be in the top position.
Spooling Alone : Attach the hook with latch to an anchor point and walk the PullzAll away from the load. Spooling with an Assistant : Have the person handling the rope hold the hook strap and walk the wire rope away from the PullzAll while spooling out the wire rope. NEVER spool the wire rope out past the red paint on the wire rope. The red paint is visible when 13 ft. (3.9 m) of wire rope is unwound. Doing so can cause the wire rope to spool on the drum in the wrong direction. This can damage the wire rope and fairlead.
WARNING
Never hook wire rope back onto itself. This damages the rope. CAUTION The Corded 120 VAC PullzAll has some delay in the trigger control use the slow spooling speed and release the trigger early to
electrical cables through or near moving parts. Never route electrical cables near parts that become hot.
5. Only one person should operate the PullzAll while pulling a load. 6. Think safety at all times. 7. Practice. Practice and practice the steps.
