Mechanical Pullers
1. Make sure that all items being pulled are supported by a means other than the puller. Do not
use the puller for lifting or supporting objects.
2. Before each use, lubricate the center bolt threads with a graphite-based lubricant.
3. To operate puller, grasp the puller with one hand and turn the T-handle counter-clockwise
with the other hand until the jaw opening is big enough to fit over the component to be
pulled.
CAUTION
Do not pinch your fingers during this process.
4. Place puller over component to be pulled. When only the inner bearing race is remaining on
the shaft, clean the shaft first with emery cloth and then attach the jaws in the ball groove.
If the jaws appear to be coming out of the ball groove, loosen the center bolt and re-tighten
the T-Handle by hand. This may be necessary when the puller is new to get the jaws to
properly seat in the cage.
5. Turn the T-Handle clockwise to tighten the jaws firmly onto the component. (See Figure 3.)
6. Make sure that the center of the puller is aligned with the center of the shaft of the
component to be pulled. Using hand tools only, tighten the center bolt to pull the component
off of its shaft. (See Figure 4.)
To remove the component from the puller, turn the T-Handle counter-clockwise to open the
jaws. (See Figure 5.)
Maintenance
Always clean the puller after use and store in a clean, dry place.
Hydraulic Pullers
1. Make sure that all items being pulled are supported by a means other than the puller. Do not
use the puller for lifting or supporting objects.
2. Install cylinder into puller by threading collar threads clock-wise into the jawhead assembly.
Make sure that the cylinder collar threads are fully engaged in the puller. Attach lift plate
to the coupler-end of the cylinder. Remove the saddle from the cylinder and insert the ram
point into the plunger. Select the ram point that will provide maximum contact with the shaft
end.
3. To operate puller, grasp the puller with one hand and turn the T-handle counter-clockwise
with the other hand until the jaw opening is big enough to fit over the component to be
pulled.
CAUTION
Do not pinch your fingers during this process.
