GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS _________________________________________________________________________

The MP-3 Manual Post Puller is meant to pull posts up to 4" x 4" wood posts or 4" x 6" H column beams. Do not over-
load the post puller. It is designed as a 3 ton puller.
APPLICATION OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER

SAFETY

Do not operate the post puller unless the operator and any others near the post puller are wearing
EQUIPMENT: hard hats, safety glasses, safety shoes, back supports, and any other safety equipment advised by
ANSI, NIOSH, OSHA, or any other safety regulatory agency, or the employer or the owner of this
post puller.
CARRYING/
STORAGE The Model MP-3 Manual Post Puller is shipped to you in the carrying/storage configuration.
CONFIGURATION: The unit should be carried by the round lever handle located on the back of the unit.
SETTING UP Set the puller with its base as close to the post as possible. Remove the lever from its storage
FOR USE: position by grasping the bottom of the handle, pushing up and rotating slightly, which automatically
pushes in the spring loaded pin to remove the handle from its socket. The Chain/Hook Assembly
has a large swivel chain hook on one end and a smaller clevis chain hook on the other end. The
large swivel chain hook is for use with the Rhino Post Grabber while the smaller clevis chain hook
is for use with any additional chain that is wrapped around the post being pulled. Additional chain
must be at least 3/8" grade 80 chain with a minimum working load capacity of 3 tons. Place a
Rhino Post Grabber around the post to be pulled and connect it to the large swivel chain hook. If
additional chain is used, double wrap the chain around the post and cross the chain over itself.
Crossing the chain over itself causes it to tighten up on the post as you start to pull. Lift the
lever/handle until it is a little above level and make sure the chain assembly is at the first notch
with the hook being used hanging down. The post grabber or wrapped chain on the post should be
few inches off the ground. This will allow the post grabber or chain to slide down the post as the
lever/handle is raised for the down stroke of the lever that will pull the post. Connect the safety
restraint now.
CONNECT SAFETY Detach the hook of the safety restraint from its storage position and hook it into the middle of the
RESTRAINT: chain assembly making sure the other end is still attached to the puller.
WARNING ALWAYS USE THE SAFETY RESTRAINT WHILE PULLING A POST. The purpose of the safety
restraint is to restrain the hook, post grabber, chain, etc. from striking the operator in the event the
chain or other pulling device breaks when the post is being pulled.
