So, you have your WARN PullzAll and you are ready to put it to use.
This guide provides you with a basic understanding of your PullzAll and teaches you the basics of proper pulling/ lifting techniques. Before we get started, we must emphasize that the information in this guide is general in nature. Because no two situations are alike, it would be nearly impossible to review them all. We will, however, provide you with the general principles and techniques to use this tool safely and effectively. Then it is up to you to take the time to analyze the situation and apply the proper technique.
Along with a little common sense, the information laid out in this guide can help you lift and pull safely. Just remember to think through each lifting or pulling situation before you act.
To Go Prepared
TM
, the following instructions will help you understand the operation of the PullzAll.
UTILITY PULLING INTRODUCTION
WARNING
Never operate a PullzAll without reading or understanding the operator’s manual.
HOW THE PULLZALL WORKS
To begin, you should familiarize yourself with your PullzAll and each of its components:
1.
Motor The motor provides torque to the gear train, which turns the PullzAll drum and winds the wire rope.
2.
Spooling Drum The PullzAll drum is the cylinder from which the wire rope winds. The drum is driven by the gear train and motor. Its direction can be changed using the directional selector switch. The wire rope unwinds off the top of the drum.
3.
Wire Rope The rope’s diameter and length are determined by the PullzAll’s load capacity and design. Wrapped around the PullzAll drum and fed through the fairlead, the rope is looped at the end to accept the hook’s clevis pin.
PullzAll at an angle, the fairlead acts to guide the wire rope onto the top of the spooling drum. It minimizes damage to the rope while it goes through the PullzAll mount.
convert the PullzAll motor torque into a large pulling force. The gear train design makes it possible for the PullzAll to be light and compact.

Before using your WARN PullzAll to pull or lift a load it is important to understand how it works. The major advantage of the PullzAll is its handheld convenience for performing numerous recreational and work tasks. Thinking through how you intend to use your PullzAll now could save you a big headache later.
Control of Your PullzAll
The PullzAll tool has an On/ Off power switch and is controlled by a directional switch and a variable speed trigger control.
The directional switch provides control of the forward and reverse rotation of the spooling drum. Keep tension on the wire rope when winding in or out to prevent “bird nesting” that can bind and entangle the wire rope causing damage to it and the PullzAll. When you see the red paint on the wire rope, do not spool out any further. Doing so, can cause the wire rope to spool on the drum in the wrong direction. This can damage the wire rope and fairlead. The direction selection arrow should always match the direction of the wire rope when it is spooling in or out.
HOW THE PULLZALL WORKS
How the PullzAll Reacts to Load
The PullzAll is rated by pulling capacity. The maximum pulling torque occurs when there is only one layer of wire rope on the drum. As the layers of wire rope on the drum increase, the pulling power decreases. This is the basics of mechanical advantage.
Load Limiter
Exceeding the PullzAll capacity will cause the load limiter to trip, which interrupts the power to the motor. This prevents overheating and potential motor damage. At 90% of pulling capacity the overload indicator turns red. When 100% of pulling capacity is reached the load limiter will cause the overload indicator to fl ash red and the PullzAll motor to stop. When this occurs, release the load by spooling out. Do not attempt to apply the same load if the load limiter has tripped, as this can be harmful to the unit. If the load limiter fails to reset contact an authorized service center.
WARNING
Always keep PullzAll and pulling load in sight during pulling operation.
WARNING
Never spool out past the red paint on wire rope.
NOTICE
The PullzAll is controlled by the variale speed trgger and direction selection switch.
HOW THE PULLZALL WORKS
PullzAll Mechanics
It is important to understand that the longer the pull, the more heat gets created within the motor. Spooling out the rope also generates heat. Let the motor cool between pulls because prolonged use without cooling the PullzAll will damage the motor.
Run Time/Duty Cycle
The PullzAll is rated for intermittent duty. It should not be operated for long periods with the motor at low RPMs. When the motor approaches stall speed a very rapid heat build up occurs which may cause motor damage. Follow the recommended run times and cooling times in the table shown. If the unit does not function after it is allowed to cool, call a Warn authorized service center.

If the load limiter continues to
trip, perform the following actions:
1) Reduce the weight of the load.
2) Increase the distance of the anchor point.
3) Rig a double line pull. For details: See “Rigging
Techniques” section in this manual.

Do not charge the battery in damp or wet environment.
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to a Warn authorized service center when service is required.
Important Charging Notes
1) The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maximum capacity with its fi rst few charge cycles. However, after the fi rst few charge cycles and normal usage, the battery will charge to full capacity.
2) The charger was designed to fast charge the battery, only when the battery temperature is between 32ºF (0º C) and 120ºF (49º C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the battery pack should not be charged. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy use.) Wait until the battery returns to room temperature before charging.
3) A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.
If the battery does not charge
properly:
a. Check for voltage at the outlet
by plugging in some other elec­trical device.
b. Verify charger voltage is ap-
proximatly 30vdc. Refer to charger plug pinout here or on charger label.
c. Check battery pack terminals
for dirt. Clean with a cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper
charging, contact Warn cus­tomer service.
Battery Disposal
The PullzAll battery uses NiMH technology. Check your local ordinances/regulations for disposal or recycling regulations. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminal with heavy insulating tape to prevent shortage.
Chemical First Aid: If leakage from battery comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and water. If liquid gets into eyes, fl ush with water for 15 minutes.

Practice using your PullzAll before you pull or lift a load. A real situation is no time to be learning how to use your PullzAll.
Knowing the proper pulling and lifting techniques can help keep you and others around you safe. And perhaps the most important part of the pulling process, regardless of the situation, is what you do before you pull.
In this guide, you are shown the basic fundamentals for effective pulling/lifting. However, it is up to you to analyze the situation and make the decisions necessary for the proper use of your PullzAll. Apply your knowledge of your PullzAll and the basic fundamentals you have practiced to adjust your techniques to each unique situation.
Some keys to remember when using your WARN PullzAll:
1. Always take your time to
assess your situation and plan your pull or lift carefully.
2. Always take your time when
using a PullzAll.
3. Use the right equipment for
your situation.
4. Always wear leather gloves
and do not allow the wire rope to slide through your hands.
5. Only one person should
operate the PullzAll while pulling a load.
6. Think safety at all times.
7. Practice. Practice and
practice the steps.
OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Pulling or Lifting Procedure
The following steps describe how to pull or lift using a single line rigging technique. Double or multiple line rigging techniques follow the same basic steps but use a snatch block to assist the process. For details, see the “Rigging Techniques” section in this manual.
Step 1: PUT ON GLOVES AND ATTACH HOOK STRAP. Ensure
the hook strap is attached to the hook with latch on the wire rope, not the swiveling anchor hook.
Step 2: CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE.
Corded 120 VAC PullzAll
1) Connect the PullzAll power
cord to a properly grounded,
3-prong electrical socket.
2) Verify that power cords and
extension cords are positioned
so that the wire rope or mov-
ing load will not damage the
cords.
3) Verify that extension cords are
rated for 15 Amps.
Cordless 24V DC PullzAll
1) Ensure the battery pack is fully
charged.
2) Verify the power switch is in
the ‘Off’ position.
3) Slide battery pack into the
body, making sure that the
latch is fully engaged. The
battery release button must be
in the top position.
WARNING
Always use supplied hook strap to hold hook when spooling rope in or out.
WARNING
Always use properly grounded 120V AC 50/60 Hz single phase receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Never remove ground pin from plug. Never operate this AC product in a wet environment. Never route electrical cables across sharp edges. Never route electrical cables through or near moving parts. Never route electrical cables near parts that become hot.

Step 3: POWER ON THE
WARNING
Always use suitable anchor point capable of handling load.
WARNING
Never spool out past red paint on wire rope.
WARNING
Always keep hands and clothing clear of the rope, hook and fairlead opening during operation and when spooling.
WARNING
Never hook wire rope back onto itself. This damages the rope.
CAUTION
The Corded 120 VAC PullzAll has some delay in the trigger control use the slow spooling speed and release the trigger early to prevent from spooling the hook loop into the fairlead.
PULLZALL. Flip the power switch to the ‘On’ position. Always leave the power switch in the ‘Off’ position when the PullzAll is not in use.
Step 4: SPOOL OUT WIRE ROPE TO LOAD. Press the directional
switch to ‘spool out’. Always keep tension on the wire rope while spooling in and out. The wire rope may unwind inside the PullzAll unit causing bird nesting and binding, leading to wire rope damage.
Spooling Alone: Attach the hook with latch to an anchor point and walk the PullzAll away from the load.
Spooling with an Assistant: Have the person handling the rope hold the hook strap and walk the wire rope away from the PullzAll while spooling out the wire rope.
NEVER spool the wire rope out past the red paint on the wire rope. The red paint is visible when 13 ft. (3.9 m) of wire rope is unwound. Doing so can cause the wire rope to spool on the drum in the wrong direction. This can damage the wire rope and fairlead.
Step 5: ATTACH TO ANCHOR POINT. Attach the PullzAll to an
anchor point using the swiveling anchor hook. That is capable of handling the load.
Step 6: PLAN TO PULL. Line up your pull as straight ahead as possible. This prevents side pulls that can allow the wire rope to rub on the fairlead. Also, side pulls cause the wire rope to stack up at one end of the drum. This can damage the wire rope or the PullzAll.
Step 7: SECURE TO THE LOAD.
Establish a load point. Often a load does not have a secure load point. It may be necessary to secure the load with a choker chain or a load strap.
Step 8: ATTACH THE CLEVIS/D­SHACKLE. Attach the shackle to
the two ends of the strap or chain being careful not to over tighten the shackle (tighten and back-off 1/2 turn). Secure the shackle into the throat of the PullzAll hook.
Step 9: PUT WIRE ROPE UNDER TENSION. Press the directional
switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. Use the trigger control to slowly wind the wire rope until no slack remains. Tension in the wire rope will keep it from bird nesting and binding. Once the wire rope is under tension, stand well clear, and never step over the wire rope.
Step 10: CHECK YOUR LOAD. Ensure all connections are secured and free of debris before continuing with the procedure.

Begin Pulling or Lifting the Load
The following steps describe how to operate the PullzAll after it has been properly rigged.
Step 11: LAY SOMETHING OVER THE WIRE ROPE. In the interest
of safety consider hanging a dense fabric midway between the PullzAll and the load point to absorb energy should the wire rope or load point snap loose. For example use a heavy blanket, heavy jacket, chain or a back pack.
Troubleshooting
If the PullzAll will not spool in or out, ensure that the On/ Off power switch is in the ‘On’ position. Verify that the overload indicator is not fl ashing and the green power indicating light is on.
On the Corded PullzAll unit, ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit has power.
On the Cordless PullzAll unit ensure that the battery is charged. Then try spooling the rope. If this does not solve the problem, contact a Warn authorized service center.
OPERATING THE PULLZALL
Step 12: MAKE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEAR. Be sure that
everyone in the immediate vicinity surrounding the pulling operation is completely aware of your intention before you pull or lift.
Declare where the spectators should not stand—never behind, in front of, or under the load and never near the wire rope or snatch block. Your situation may have other “no people” zones.
Establish “no people” zones

The rope must always be
spooled onto the drum.
As you spool in, make sure the rope winds evenly and tightly on the drum. This prevents the outer wire wraps from drawing into the inner wraps, “bird nesting” and binding can damage the wire rope and PullzAll.
During side pulls the wire rope tends to stack up at one end of the drum. To prevent stacking the wire rope on one side of the drum, line up the pull as straight ahead as possible.
Step 14: SECURE LOAD.
Once movement of the load is complete, be sure to secure the load completely. Only then should you release tension in the wire rope.
Step 15: DISCONNECT WIRE ROPE. Reverse directional switch
and spool out a short length of wire rope. Disconnect hook with latch from the load whenever possible.
Step 16: DISCONNECT FROM ANCHOR. Disconnect the
swiveling anchor hook from the anchor point.
Step 17: REWIND WIRE ROPE. Reverse directional switch to ‘spool in’ wire rope. Be sure any wire rope already on the spooling drum is wound tightly. Arrange the wire rope so it will not kink or tangle when spooled. Always keep the wire rope under tension when spooling the wire rope back onto the drum. Do not let the wire rope slide through your hand.
If alone, attach the hook with latch to an anchor point, apply light tension to the wire rope and slowly walk the PullzAll towards anchor point as wire rope winds on drum.
If a person is handling the rope, keeping tension, they should walk the wire rope in, using the hook strap. If you do not have the hook strap, use a length of cord or something similar. To prevent serious injury, NEVER put your ngers inside the hook area as you are spooling in.
DO NOT use the load limiter to stop the hook against the fairlead; the hook should not spool into the unit. . Step 18: TURN OFF THE PullzAll Flip the power switch to the ‘Off’ position. Store the PullzAll in a clean and dry place.
Pulling operations are now complete.

The PullzAll is a convenient handheld pulling tool. Some of the following accessories are vital to the safe operation of the PullzAll, while others offer added versatility and convenience.
Gloves: Wire rope, through use, will develop “barbs” which can slice skin. It is extremely important to wear protective gloves while operating the PullzAll or handling the wire rope. Avoid loose fi tting clothes or anything that could become entangled in the wire rope and other moving parts.
Hook Strap: Used to hold the hook and keep fi ngers away from the fairlead as the rope is being spooled in and out. Pulling tools develop tremendous forces and can easily remove fi ngers and limbs that are placed in pinch points. Put the hook into the loop and hold the strap between the thumb and forefi ngers.
ACCESSORIES
Snatch Block: Used properly, the
multi-purpose snatch block allows you to: (1) increase your PullzAll’s pulling power, and (2) change your pulling direction without damaging the wire rope. Proper use of the snatch block is covered in the “Rigging Techniques”.
Clevis/D-Shackles: The D-Shackle is a safe means for connecting the looped ends of straps and snatch blocks. The shackle’s pin is threaded to allow
easy removal. Strap: Typically made of tough,
high-quality nylon, it provides the operator an attachment method for connecting the PullzAll wire rope to a load or anchoring point.
CAUTION
Never attach a recovery strap to the PullzAll hook to increase the length of a pull. Never use bungee straps that develop tremendous and potentially dangerous amounts of force when stretched.
RIGGING TECHNIQUES
Various pulling situations will require application of other pulling techniques. These could range from too little distance to achieve maximum pull/lift using straight line
WARNING
Never spool out past red paint on wire rope.
rigging, increasing pulling power, or maintaining a straight line pulling situation. You will have to assess what technique is correct for you situation. Think “safety” at all times. Think through each situation before you act.
Increasing Pulling Power & Duration
In some cases, you may fi nd yourself needing more pulling power. The use of snatch blocks increases mechanical advantage and increases your pulling power:
Pallet Pulling Example:
Single line
Start by spooling out the wire rope. Attach the hook to an anchor and run the rope through a snatch block.
Using the snatch block, spool out enough wire rope to reach your load point. DO NOT spool out past the red wire rope. Doing so can cause the wire rope to spool on the drum in the wrong direction. This can damage wire rope and fairlead.
Secure to the load point with a strap or choker chain. Attach the clevis/shackle. Attach the shackle to the two ends of the strap/chain, being careful not to over tighten (tighten and back-off 1/2 turn).
Lifting
Anchor the PullzAll so that it is offset and not inline with object to be lifted. Do not attempt to lift an off-center load, this can cause the load to swing dangerously. Never allow the load to swing or twist.
Choker Chain: Can be used to hook-up a load.

WARNING
Never use pulling tool to lift or move persons. Never use pulling tool to lift over persons.
Double line
Double Line
Because pulling power decreases with the number of layers of rope on the PullzAll drum, you can use a snatch block to double line out more rope. This decreases the number of layers of rope on the drum, and increases pulling power.
