Safe Operating Practices
Important Safety Instructions
Electrical Requirement
1. This puller should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock
The power pack is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounding type plug to
fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green wire to a live terminal. If necessary, an adapter is available
for connecting 3-prong plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The adapter’s green-colored lug
must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Extension Cords
2. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the pullers plug.
Outdoor Use Extension Cords
3. If used outdoors, the extension cord must be marked with the suffix W-A following the
cord type designation (e.g., STJW-A).
4. Use an extension cord with the proper wire size for the length of the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating (See
Chart below).
5. Position the cord that it will be clear of any rotating parts and will not be a trip hazard to
the operator.
Don’t Abuse Electrical Cord
6. Never lift or carry the puller by the cord, and never yank the cord to disconnect it from
the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges
