OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Begin Pulling or Lifting
the Load
The following steps describe
how to operate the PullzAll after it
has been properly rigged.
Step 11: LAY SOMETHING OVER
THE WIRE ROPE. In the interest
of safety consider hanging a dense
fabric midway between the PullzAll
and the load point to absorb
energy should the wire rope or
load point snap loose. For example
use a heavy blanket, heavy jacket,
chain or a back pack.
Step 12: MAKE YOUR
INTENTIONS CLEAR. Be sure that
everyone in the immediate vicinity
surrounding the pulling operation is
completely aware of your intention
before you pull or lift.
Declare where the spectators
should not stand—never behind,
in front of, or under the load and
never near the wire rope or snatch
block. Your situation may have
other “no people” zones.
Troubleshooting
If the PullzAll will not spool
in or out, ensure that the On/
Off power switch is in the ‘On’
position. Verify that the overload
indicator is not fl ashing and the
green power indicating light is
on.
On the Corded PullzAll unit,
ensure that the power cord is
plugged in and the circuit has
power.
On the Cordless PullzAll
unit ensure that the battery is
charged. Then try spooling
the rope. If this does not solve
the problem, contact a Warn
authorized service center.
Establish “no people” zones
WARNING
Never use pulling
tool to lift or move
persons.
Never use pulling
tool to lift over
persons.

OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Step 13: BEGIN PULLING/
LIFTING. Press the directional
switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. With
light tension already on the wire
rope, begin spooling in slowly and
steadily.
Step 14: SECURE LOAD.
Once movement of the load is
complete, be sure to secure the
load completely. Only then should
you release tension in the wire
rope.
Step 15: DISCONNECT WIRE
ROPE. Reverse directional switch
and spool out a short length of
wire rope. Disconnect hook with
latch from the load whenever
possible.
Step 16: DISCONNECT FROM
ANCHOR. Disconnect the
swiveling anchor hook from the
anchor point.
Always avoid
side pulls which
can pile up rope
at one end of
the drum. This
can damage wire
rope or PullzAll.
NOTICE
What to look for under load
The rope must always be
spooled onto the drum.
As you spool in, make
sure the rope winds evenly
and tightly on the drum. This
prevents the outer wire wraps
from drawing into the inner
wraps, “bird nesting” and
binding can damage the wire
rope and PullzAll.
During side pulls the wire
rope tends to stack up at one
end of the drum. To prevent
stacking the wire rope on one
side of the drum, line up the pull
as straight ahead as possible.
Avoid over
heating the
PullzAll motor.
For extended
pulling, stop
at reasonable
intervals to allow
the PullzAll
motor to cool
down.
See table for run
time guidelines.
NOTICE
WARNING
Always keep
hands and
clothing clear of
the rope, hook
and fairlead
opening during
operation and
when spooling.
CAUTION
The Corded 120
VAC PullzAll
has some delay
in the trigger
control. Use the
slow spooling
speed and
release the
trigger early to
prevent from
spooling the
hook loop into
the fairlead.
Step 17: REWIND WIRE ROPE.
Reverse directional switch to
‘spool in’ wire rope. Be sure any
wire rope already on the spooling
drum is wound tightly. Arrange
the wire rope so it will not kink or
tangle when spooled. Always keep
the wire rope under tension when
spooling the wire rope back onto
the drum. Do not let the wire rope
slide through your hand.
If alone, attach the hook with latch
to an anchor point, apply light
tension to the wire rope and slowly
walk the PullzAll towards anchor
point as wire rope winds on drum.
If a person is handling the rope,
keeping tension, they should
walk the wire rope in, using the
hook strap. If you do not have the
hook strap, use a length of cord
or something similar. To prevent
serious injury, NEVER put your
fi ngers inside the hook area as you
are spooling in.
DO NOT use the load limiter to
stop the hook against the fairlead;
the hook should not spool into the
unit.
.
Step 18: TURN OFF THE PullzAll
Flip the power switch to the ‘Off’
position. Store the PullzAll in a
clean and dry place.
Pulling operations are now
complete.
