OPERATING THE PULLZALL
OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Begin Pulling or Lifting the Load
Step 12: MAKE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEAR. Be sure that everyone in the immediate vicinity surrounding the pulling operation is completely aware of your intention before you pull or lift. Declare where the spectators should not stand—never behind, in front of, or under the load and never near the wire rope or snatch block. Your situation may have other “no people” zones.
Step 13: BEGIN PULLING/ LIFTING. Press the directional switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. With light tension already on the wire rope, begin spooling in slowly and steadily. What to look for under load The rope must always be spooled onto the drum. As you spool in, make sure the rope winds evenly and tightly on the drum. This prevents the outer wire wraps from drawing into the inner wraps, “bird nesting” and binding can damage the wire rope and PullzAll. During side pulls the wire Step 14: SECURE LOAD. Once movement of the load is complete, be sure to secure the load completely. Only then should you release tension in the wire rope. Step 15 : DISCONNECT WIRE ROPE. Reverse directional switch and spool out a short length of wire rope. Disconnect hook with latch from the load whenever possible. Step 16: DISCONNECT FROM ANCHOR. Disconnect the swiveling anchor hook from the anchor point. rope tends to stack up at one end of the drum. To prevent stacking the wire rope on one side of the drum, line up the pull as straight ahead as possible.
Step 17: REWIND WIRE ROPE . Reverse directional switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. Be sure any wire rope already on the spooling drum is wound tightly. Arrange the wire rope so it will not kink or tangle when spooled. Always keep the wire rope under tension when spooling the wire rope back onto the drum. Do not let the wire rope slide through your hand. If alone, attach the hook with latch to an anchor point, apply light tension to the wire rope and slowly walk the PullzAll towards anchor point as wire rope winds on drum. If a person is handling the rope, keeping tension, they should walk the wire rope in, using the hook strap. If you do not have the hook strap, use a length of cord or something similar. To prevent serious injury, NEVER put your fi ngers inside the hook area as you are spooling in. DO NOT use the load limiter to stop the hook against the fairlead; the hook should not spool into the unit. . Step 18: TURN OFF THE PullzAll Flip the power switch to the ‘Off’ position. Store the PullzAll in a clean and dry place. Pulling operations are now complete.
NOTICE
The following steps describe how to operate the PullzAll after it has been properly rigged.
Avoid over heating the
PullzAll motor. For extended pulling, stop at reasonable intervals to allow the PullzAll motor to cool down. See table for run time guidelines. CAUTION The Corded 120 VAC PullzAll has some delay in the trigger control. Use the slow spooling speed and release the trigger early to prevent from spooling the hook loop into the fairlead.
Step 11: LAY SOMETHING OVER THE WIRE ROPE. In the interest of safety consider hanging a dense fabric midway between the PullzAll and the load point to absorb energy should the wire rope or load point snap loose. For example use a heavy blanket, heavy jacket, chain or a back pack.
WARNING Never use pulling tool to lift or move persons. Never use pulling tool to lift over persons.
Establish “no people” zones
NOTICE
Troubleshooting
Always avoid side pulls which can pile up rope at one end of the drum. This can damage wire rope or PullzAll. Always keep hands and clothing clear of the rope, hook and fairlead opening during operation and when spooling. WARNING
If the PullzAll will not spool in or out, ensure that the On/ Off power switch is in the ‘On’ position. Verify that the overload indicator is not fl ashing and the green power indicating light is on. On the Corded PullzAll unit, ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit has power. On the Cordless PullzAll unit ensure that the battery is charged. Then try spooling the rope. If this does not solve the problem, contact a Warn authorized service center.
