will not exceed 4 ton
• Check the item is securely attached and the Safety Bar (2) is closed

the spool to attach the Cable Hook (7) to the anchor position. Release
the ratchet lock lever. Ensure hook is securely attached and safety bar
is closed
Pulling

the handle engages the ratchet teeth
• Crank the Handle (8) backwards and forwards to tension the cable and
pull the load
Releasing the tension
1. Slide the Ratchet Drive Spring (5) across to the disengaged position so
that the handle does not engage the Ratchet Teeth (4) (Fig 1)
2. Crank the Handle (8) to operate the reverse step mechanism. Each crank
will step the ratchet back one tooth
3. Repeat until enough slack has been provided so that you can remove the
hooks
4. Ensure load is stable and secure before removing hooks

Apply pressure to the handle evenly and with a smooth action.
Abrupt movements can cause the load to shift, making it unstable
