The Speed Booster is for use with
the Greenlee Ultra Tugger Cable
Puller only. The Speed Booster produces more than 120 volts; plugging
anything other than the Ultra Tugger
into the Speed Booster could result
in serious injury or death.
Read and understand the
instructions supplied with the Ultra
Tugger. Failure to observe this
warning could result in an accident
resulting in severe injury or death.
\
Description
The Speed Booster increases the voltage supplied to
the Ultra Tugger® motor. The Speed Booster will allow
the Ultra Tugger to pull cable approximately twice as
fast as normal when the pulling force is less than 2500
pounds. The Speed Booster shuts off automatically and
the Ultra Tugger resumes normal pulling speed when the
pulling force exceeds 2500 pounds.
In order to use the Ultra Tugger with the Speed Booster,
the plug on the end of the Ultra Tugger power cord must
be changed to t the receptacle of the Speed Booster.
An adapter cord is included with the Speed Booster so
that the Ultra Tugger can still be used without the Speed
Booster.

Setup
1. Use the instructions provided with the Ultra Tugger
to set up the puller.
2. Plug the Speed Booster into a 120 volt, 20 amp
receptacle.
3. Plug the puller into the receptacle on the Speed
Booster.
Operation
1. Turn on the Speed Booster using the circuit breaker/
power switch located in back of Speed Booster.
Note: The amber indicator will illuminate to indicate that
the power is ON.
2. Turn the puller on. Tail the rope as described in the
instruction manual supplied with the Ultra Tugger.
Note: Allow the puller to run at least 5 seconds before
engaging Speed Booster.
3. Press the toggle switch on the right to switch on
the high speed mode of the Speed Booster. The red
indicator will illuminate.
Note: It may be necessary to hold the switch momentarily.
4. Continue to tail the rope and monitor the force
gauge as usual.
Note: If the pulling force exceeds 2500 pounds, the
Speed Booster will switch off automatically. If the
pulling force drops to less than 2500 pounds, the Speed
Booster will not switch back on automatically; it must be
switched back on manually.
Note: If it becomes necessary to slow down the puller,
press the toggle switch on the left (“Low Speed”) to shut
off the Speed Booster.
Note: If the Speed Booster is used for extended time
in the High Speed mode, the unit may heat up and
automatically activate the thermal shutdown. When this
happens, the Speed Booster will run the puller at normal
speed, but will not boost until it has had time to cool
down.
5. Finish the pull as described in the Ultra Tugger
instruction manual.
6. Turn off the Speed Booster using the power switch
located at the rear. Unplug the Ultra Tugger from the
Speed Booster, and unplug the Speed Booster.

Ultra Tugger Plug Modification
Modication of the plug should only be done by
a Greenlee Authorized Service Center or qualied
electrician.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in
damage to Speed Booster or puller.
To modify the Ultra Tugger for use with the
Speed Booster:
1. Cut off the power plug to the Ultra Tugger.
2.
Connect the Speed Booster Adapter Plug (91868637)
as follows:
• W (Green) Green Wire Ground
• X (Silver) White Wire Neutral
• Y (Brass) Black Wire Line (Hot)
Maintenance
Use of the Speed Booster accelerates brush wear in
the motor of the Ultra Tugger. As the brushes wear,
graphite dust will begin to accumulate on the commutator. This buildup of graphite dust will cause electrical arcing and a noticeable popping noise when the
Speed Booster is used in high-speed mode. When this
happens, service the Ultra Tugger as follows:
1. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
Ultra Tugger. Disassemble the Control Box, End
Cover and Commutator.
2. Use compressed air to clean the parts. Wipe down
with a clean, dry lint-free rag.
3. Replace the worn brushes with new brushes
(91867053).
4. Reassemble.
Speed Booster Adapter Plug 91868637
Once the Ultra Tugger power plug has been changed,
use the Ultra Tugger Adapter Cord/Plug Converter
(50042874) to use the Ultra Tugger with 115 VAC 20
Amp line service.
Ultra Tugger Adapter Cord/Plug Converter 50042874
Do not use modied Ultra Tugger directly on 230 VAC
power. Modied Ultra Tugger should be used with
03561 Speed Booster or 50042874 Adapter Cable
only.
Failure to observe this warning could cause tool
malfunction, resulting in severe injury or death.
