Do not use the hand power puller from a motor vehicle with a running
engine.
Before using the hand power puller, make sure the cable is in good
condition. Only use suitable lifting tackles for fastening the load.
Inspect the cable for any kinks, knots, breakage or any other dam-
age. If the cable is kinked or damaged, or if the hook latch (6) is
missing resp. if the cable is shaking under load, then do not use the
hand power puller any further, and have it inspected and repaired by
a qualified technician.
While the cable is under load do not stand directly behind or over the
hand power puller but stand sidewise, in an angle of 90° to the hand
power puller. If the cable breaks under load, it can swing back se-
verely. Do not stay in the danger area and ensure that others are not
endangered.
During operation, keep your hands away from the load bearing cable
and other parts of the hand power puller.
Turn the crank only by hand; do not attach motors of any kind.
Under load at least three windings of cable must remain on the cable
drum. Otherwise the cable will be torn for the anchorage when it is
entirely unrolled.
If you pull heavy loads, hang a blanket or a jacket on the cable in a
distance of about 1 – 2 m away from the hook in order to significantly
reduce the risks caused by a breaking cable.
Make sure the cable is wound properly on the cable drum, one
winding next to the other winding, without any knots or loops.
Make sure all warning signs are clearly legible at all times.
Service the hand power puller carefully. Check that movable parts
function correctly and do not jam, and whether any parts are broken
or damaged in such a way that the function of the hand power puller
is impaired. Have any damaged part repaired before using the hand
power puller.
The service life of the hand power puller and some parts are limited,
worn out parts must be replaced in a timely manner.
Only allow qualified technicians to repair your hand power puller
using only original replacement parts. Once a year, have the hand
