Cable Puller Heavy Duty 598501
Pulling Tool Safety
Ensure your cable puller is maintained in a safe working condition. Observe
the following important guidance:
• Before each use, check the condition of the equipment. Pay particular
attention to cables and locking mechanisms
• Cables should be free from kinks and should not show any evidence of
fraying or cutting
• Locking mechanisms should work freely and should be clean of
excessive dirt or grease
• Ensure the safety latches on the hooks are closed and the load is secure
before pulling commences
• Test all safety devices (including automatic) before use
• DO NOT attempt to pull items around or over a corner
• DO NOT wrap cable around any object and hook it back on itself
• DO NOT OVERLOAD: Ensure the weight of all loads is within the capacity
of this equipment (see specification)
• DO NOT LIFT with this puller. This equipment is not designed to hoist
• When pulling, allow for rolling resistance which will significantly increase
the weight of an object – particularly in cases when pulling through mud,
snow or water
• Take into account any angle of incline over which the load will be pulled
• Use an adequate sling, eyebolt or other attachment on the load to be
pulled and ensure that there is a positive engagement of the puller hook
to the load
• Do not use a pipe, lever or other device to lengthen the handle for
additional leverage; the pulley may fail, causing damage and/or personal
injury
• Under no circumstances use pulling equipment to pull people or objects
with people attached
• Do not modify any pulling equipment. Any attempt to tamper with this
equipment will invalidate its guarantee, and could result in serious injury
to yourself or others around you
• Pulling equipment should be inspected by a qualified person at least once
each year and the results of the inspection recorded in an inspection
book for future reference
• If you are in any way unsure about the safe method of using this
equipment, do not use it
