Operation
Hook Positioning with No Load (Freewheel)
(Fig. 1)
1. With no load on cable puller, position
forward/reverse lat c h ( B ) as shown on
dotted lines, to hold pawl (D) off r atchet
wheel (H).
2. Hold pull er fir mly with handle in upperm ost
position, and pr ess lock ing lever (J) to
disengage locking lever from ratchet wheel.
3. Have an assistant , also wearing gloves, pull
wire rope out; or, anchor the bottom hook

N – Top Hook
O – Wire Rope Gui de
4. Release locking lever, and re-set
forward/reverse lat c h to engage pawl with
ratchet wheel and begin "winching in."
Pulling or Lifting Load (Fig. 1)
1. Place forward/reverse latch (B) to position
as shown by solid lines. Thi s enables pawl
(D) to engage r atchet wheel (H) with spring
(C) assistance.
2. Load is held and locked in position by
locking l ever (J) and pawl engaging ratchet
wheel firmly.
3. Move handle (A) towards load, and ratchet
handle back and forth.
4. When pr essure on handle is reliev ed at the
end of its travel, locking lever (J) engages
ratchet wheel and locks the load. Repeat
ratcheting cycle.

Releasing or Loweri ng Load (Fig. 1)
Cable pul ler is designed to r atchet load tension
down one ratchet wheel tooth at a tim e:
1. While under load, place forward/reverse
latch (B) to the position as shown by the
dotted lines, freeing the handle (A) to move
in the dir ection of the top hook (N).
2. As the handle nears the end of its travel,
the pawl (D) is forced into contact with
ratchet wheel (H) , by spring loaded locking
lev er plunger (F ) and eventual ly locks int o
one of the ratchet wheel teeth.
3. Continue to pull handle, causing pawl to
turn ratchet wheel slightly, relieving full
load from locking lever (J). When you
have taken full load from locking lever,
allow handle to move back towards load.
The ratchet wheel will move one tooth,
releasing wire rope t he same amount, unti l
locking lever locks into place once more.
Repeat ratcheting cycle.
Using Snatch or Pulley Block (Fi g. 1)
Models JCP-2 and JCP-4 are provided with a
snatch or pulley block (safety hook with a
pulley). This allows a 2:1 lifting ratio. The
bottom hook (K) is looped back and hooked
over bolt (M) which secures the cable guide (O).
The snatch block is then attached to the load.
The length of the pull is thereby halv ed, but the
load capacity is doubled.
Pulli ng in Co nfined Spaces (Fig. 2)
The snatch block is al so useful f or pul l i ng a load
that is not directly in line with the puller. The
snatch bloc k m ust be f i rm l y anchor ed. T he wire
rope passes over the pul ley and to the load as
shown.
Snatch block must be fully
anchored when winching load out of line with
puller.
Maintenance
1. Inspect the cable puller before each use for
any damage. I f cracking or distortion
appears in the frame, t he c able puller is
considered beyond repai r , should not be
used, and must be repl ac ed.
2. Keep pawl, hook pins, hook latch pins,
ratchet pivot s, and wir e r ope lightl y oiled at
all times.
3. Inspect wire rope for kinks, cor r osion,
fraying, etc. If corrosi on is apparent, clean
with a stiff wire brush and l ightly oil. Do not

corroded.
4. Inspect hooks for wear, twisting or dam age.
Replace cable puller i f hooks are worn,
twisted or damaged.
