4.1.
4.1.1.
Pass the anchor pin through the puller body (fig.1). When it is as far as it can go rotate through a further 180° and insert fully home.
A 'd' pin (not supplied) may be pushed through the anchor pin to provide additional security.
4.1.2.
Attach the puller to a suitable anchor point, ensuring that it is capable of withstanding the maximum line pull, check any chains, strops
or shackles to ensure they are rated equal to or exceeding the maximum line pull. Do noT wrap the wire rope back on itself.
4.2.
inserTinG wire rope.
4.2.1.
Place forward and reverse levers away from the release lever. Push the release lever into the locked position as shown in fig 2.2,
this allows the internal jaws to open, enabling the wire rope to be inserted through the wire feed (fig 2.1).
Note:The release lever can be difficult to lock into place, it requires firm pressure downwards onto it (the forward and reverse
levers will be seen to move out), before also pushing forwards to lock it into place. This is best carried out with the winch tipped up
at an angle (see fig.3)
4.2.2.
Insert the wire rope through the feed (fig 2.1). Direct the wire rope out of the back and run above the anchor pin.
4.2.3.
Take up slack by pulling the cable through the winch. When the slack has been taken up unlock the release lever by pushing down
and back. The winch is now ready for use.

4.3.3.
moving the handle back and forth will pull the wire rope through the winch.
noTe: As an added safety feature the forward lever is fitted with a shear pin. If the load is greater than the capacity of the puller the
pin will shear. The pin will require replacing with part no. WRP1600.16 or WRP3200.16.
