Introduction

The Model D4107 Come-Along is a handy tool for use in
farming, camping, hunting, and emergencies. This come­along features solid steel construction, ratcheting and
locking levers, drop-forged steel safety hooks, and non­slip handle grip.

LOAD CAPACITY. Always be aware of the
rated capacity of the come-along setup
and the pulling weight of the load. DO
NOT exceed the come-along capacity.

CABLE BIND. To ensure the cable does not
bind or kink, which could lead to break­age, DO NOT twist or bend the cable. DO
NOT wrap the cable around any object
and hook it back on itself, or pull the
cable over or around a corner.

COME-ALONG CONDITION. DO NOT oper­ate the come-along if any part of it is
damaged or inoperable. A failed come­along can unexpectedly release cable
tension causing serious personal injury or
property damage.

KEEP CABLE PATH CLEAR. To avoid entan­glement injuries with the cable, always
make sure the path between the load and
the come-along is clear of people, ani­mals, and obstructions.

HAND POWER ONLY. Using a powered
device with the come-along or a "cheater
bar" on the handle could cause damage
to the come-along, which could lead to
breakage and personal injury.

USE COME-ALONG AS DESIGNED. DO NOT
use the come-along as a hoist, lifting aid,
towing device, or for any purpose that it
is not designed for.

H. Winding Ratchet Lever. Press down on this lever to

disengage the winding pawl from the winding drum
ratchet.

I. Winding Pawl Lock. Use this lever to lock the wind-

ing pawl in position when it is engaged with the
winding drum ratchet.

J. Winding Pawl. This device engages the winding drum

ratchet and enables the handle to wind the cable
back onto the drum.

Figure 3. Levers and ratchet.

Use the drum safety pawl lever ONLY
when the cable is NOT under tension,
or the pulled load is in a stable location
and will not move when cable tension
is released. Releasing the drum safety
ratchet when the come-along is under
dynamic tension can cause the cable
to whip at a high rate of speed, which
could cause serious personal injury or
property damage.

Pulling Capacity

When all other conditions of the pulling operation remain
the same, pulling capacity reduces as the incline increas­es. For example, when using the come-along in a single­line configuration, the rated pulling capacity is 4000 lbs.
at a 0° incline. As illustrated in Figure 4, this pulling
capacity reduces as the incline increases.

The conditions of your operation directly affect the pull­ing capacity of your come-along. For instance, the initial
pulling capacity reduces if the load does not have wheels
and is at a "dead stop". Conversely, the pulling capacity
increases when pulling a floating object across water.

NOTICE

The pulling capacity of the come-along will vary with
the conditions of the operation. Always be aware
of these conditions when determining the pulling
weight of the load.

Figure 4. Example graph showing the

pulling capacity reduces as the incline

increases.

Single & Double-Line Setups

A single-line setup is when the hook at the end of the
pulling cable is connected to an attachment accessory
on the load, such as a sling or eyebolt (see Figure 5 for
examples).

In a double-line setup, the pulling cable is doubled back
to the come-along body and forms a loop (see Figure 6).

To configure the come-along for a double-line setup, con­nect the hook at the end of the pulling cable (1
onto the hanger. The hook in the middle of the cable (2
hook) becomes the end hook of the pulling cable, and will
attach to the load.

Operation

1. Read and understand this instruction sheet

and all of the included safety warnings.

2. Put on thick leather gloves and safety

glasses.

3. Determine the pulling weight of your load

and make sure the come-along setup is
adequate for the job.

4. If necessary for the pulling operation, con-

figure the come-along for double-line pull­ing.

5. Attach the stationary hook to a non-move-

able object that will adequately withstand
the tension of the pulling operation.

6. Pull back on the drum safety release lever

and pull out the necessary length of cable
to hookup the load.

7. Mount a chain, sling, eyebolt, or other

attachment accessory to the load that is
rated for more than the pulling weight of
the load.

8. Connect the end hook of the pulling cable

to the attachment accessory on the load.

D4107 4-Ton Come-Along Instructions

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 pre­vent it from becoming entangled or dam­aged.

• Store the come-along is a dry place to
avoid rust.

9. Make sure the winding pawl is engaged with

the winding drum ratchet, and the winding
ratchet lever is locked in position with the
ratchet lock.

10. Pump the handle back-and-forth to wind

the pulling cable onto the winding drum.

11. When your load has reached its destina-

tion, make sure that it is supported so that
it will not move when the cable tension is
released.

12. Unlock the winding ratchet lever, pull back

on the drum safety release lever, and pull
out enough cable so the you can unhook
the end hook from the load.
