!WARNING:
Inadequate size extension cords may fail. As
the distance from the supply outlet increases, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The accompanying table,
Figure 9, is based on limiting the line voltage drop to five
volts at 150% of the rated amperes. Inadequate size results
in voltage drop, loss of power, and possible motor damage.
Other precautions to protect the cord: keep cords away from excessive
heat, sharp edges, and the puller itself; and keep the cord out of damp or
wet areas. Also, repair or replace damaged extension cords before using.
!WARNING:
Excessive voltage and/or voltage boosters will
overwork the motor. Ensure the outlet voltage matches the
motor’s nameplate voltage. Excessive voltage could result in
motor failure.
8. To begin operations, set the motor to low speed by running the motor
momentarily and then turning the shift lever on the motor (See Figure
10) while the motor is idling down. Do not attempt to shift speed with
the motor off. (On the Standard and Plus Pullers, to adjust the speed,
pull out and twist the clutch knob located on the side of the power pack
assembly after the puller has stopped.) (See Figure 11)
9. Start the puller and begin pulling operations. Stay clear of the area
directly behind the puller. This is especially important during the first
stages of the pull when the pulling force has not yet stabilized.
!WARNING:
Strained rope may fail unexpectedly.
Downgrade or discard rope after a strenuous job. Recoil
force could cause serious personal injury or death.
