Before each use, examine the come-along,
pulling cable, and hooks for any damage or
excessive wear. When under the tension of
pulling a load, a damaged come-along can fail
and lead to death, serious personal injury, or
property damage.

Maintenance

Apply light machine oil on the pivot points
of the winding drum, levers, and ratchets
to ensure smooth operation and to prevent
rust.
Before each use, check the pulling cable
for kinks, irregular bends, or fraying. If
the cable is damaged or worn in any way,
replace it before using the come-along.
Always keep the pulling cable tightly wound
in the winding drum when not is use to pre-
vent it from becoming entangled or dam-
aged.
Store the come-along is a dry place to
avoid rust.
