ACCESSORIES
Snatch Block: Used properly, the
multi-purpose snatch block allows
you to: (1) increase your PullzAll’s
pulling power, and (2) change your
pulling direction without damaging
the wire rope. Proper use of the
snatch block is covered in the
“Rigging Techniques”.
Clevis/D-Shackles: The
D-Shackle is a safe means for
connecting the looped ends of
straps and snatch blocks. The
shackle’s pin is threaded to allow
easy removal.
Strap: Typically made of tough,
high-quality nylon, it provides the
operator an attachment method for
connecting the PullzAll wire rope to
a load or anchoring point.
Accessory kits are available
for the PullzAll. Contact Warn
customer service to learn more.
The PullzAll is a convenient
handheld pulling tool. Some of the
following accessories are vital to
the safe operation of the PullzAll,
while others offer added versatility
and convenience.
Gloves: Wire rope, through use,
will develop “barbs” which can
slice skin. It is extremely important
to wear protective gloves while
operating the PullzAll or handling
the wire rope. Avoid loose fi tting
clothes or anything that could
become entangled in the wire rope
and other moving parts.
Hook Strap: Used to hold the
hook and keep fi ngers away from
the fairlead as the rope is being
spooled in and out. Pulling tools
develop tremendous forces and
can easily remove fi ngers and
limbs that are placed in pinch
points. Put the hook into the loop
and hold the strap between the
thumb and forefi ngers.
Choker Chain: Can be used to
hook-up a load.
CAUTION
Never attach a
recovery strap to
the PullzAll hook
to increase the
length of a pull.
Never use
bungee straps
that develop
tremendous
and potentially
dangerous
amounts of force
when stretched.

RIGGING TECHNIQUES
Various pulling situations will
require application of other pulling
techniques. These could range
from too little distance to achieve
maximum pull/lift using straight line
rigging, increasing pulling power, or
maintaining a straight line pulling
situation. You will have to assess
what technique is correct for you
situation. Think “safety” at all times.
Think through each situation before
you act.
Increasing Pulling Power &
Duration
In some cases, you may fi nd
yourself needing more pulling
power. The use of snatch blocks
increases mechanical advantage
and increases your pulling power:
Double Line
Because pulling power
decreases with the number of
layers of rope on the PullzAll drum,
you can use a snatch block to
double line out more rope. This
decreases the number of layers of
rope on the drum, and increases
pulling power.
Single line
Double line
Start by spooling out the wire
rope. Attach the hook to an anchor
and run the rope through a snatch
block.
Using the snatch block, spool
out enough wire rope to reach your
load point. DO NOT spool out past
the red wire rope. Doing so can
cause the wire rope to spool on the
drum in the wrong direction. This
can damage wire rope and fairlead.
Secure to the load point with
a strap or choker chain. Attach the
clevis/shackle. Attach the shackle
to the two ends of the strap/chain,
being careful not to over tighten
(tighten and back-off 1/2 turn).
Lifting
Anchor the PullzAll so that it
is offset and not inline with object
to be lifted. Do not attempt to lift an
off-center load, this can cause the
load to swing dangerously. Never
allow the load to swing or twist.
WARNING
Never use pulling
tool to lift or move
persons.
Never use pulling
tool to lift over
persons.
Pallet Pulling Example:
WARNING
Never spool out
past red paint on
wire rope.
