SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This user’s manual includes instructions on how to operate your appliance
and what precautions to take for your safety. Please read it carefully before
using the device for the first time and keep it for future reference. Do not
use this machine if any parts are missing or damaged. This product must not be
modified in any way. Fasteners that are over- or under-torqued and susceptible
to breakage, loosening or separation can lead to serious accidents. Unmounted
components can become projectiles. Assemblies that require a specific torque
should be checked with a torque gauge. If the markings indicating the rated
load, working pressure or warning signs are illegible or missing, they must be
replaced. Users and maintenance personnel must be physically capable of
supporting the load, weight and power of the equipment when connected and must
be able to carry out the work. This device is intended for professional use
only.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION
To protect yourself and others, please observe the following safety instructions:
- Wear protective gloves to limit the risks associated with vibration exposure. Repeated movement and exposure to vibrations can be harmful to both the hands and arms. In the event of numbness, itching, pain, or discoloration of the skin, stop using the tool and consult a doctor.
- Wear ear protection. Prolonged exposure to the noise of a pneumatic tool can lead to permanent hearing loss.
- Wear safety shoes to avoid accidents in the event that parts fall or when assembling the machine.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Slips, trips or falls are a major cause of serious injury or death. Pay
attention to loose hoses on the floor. Always use the tool at a safe distance
from people and objects around the work area. The PRO PULLING BRACKET is
intended for indoor use only in a well-lit environment on a flat surface.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRO PULLING BRACKET
The PRO PULLING BRACKET is intended to be used for straightening cladding
plates. It allows the operator to straighten the sheet metal not only at the
bodywork level but also at the flange level. With its rotating pole, the PRO
PULLING BRACKET can be used to straighten sheet metal at various angles. The
under-wheel support plate provides solutions for areas where underbody support
is not possible.

APPLICATION
- Firstly, rings must be welded or glued to the bodywork to allow the double claw foot chain to be attached. Pass a rod through the rings to allow the chain to be pulled through. The bracket can be positioned in two different ways on the vehicle to allow for easy pulling:
- If the vehicle has a lip under the chassis, use the metal piece shown opposite to rest against the lip and lock the bracket in place during pulling. To do this, turn the crank on the back of the drawer aligner.
- If the area to be straightened is near a wheel, you can use the plate by positioning the vehicle’s wheel on the plate. The plate swivels to position itself in the desired pull direction. If necessary, you can add support using the telescopic extensions.
- The PRO PULLING BRACKET has a rotating pole to change the pull angle to suit the pulling situation.
SAFETY WHEN USING AND MOVING
Be aware of the risks when using the PRO PULLING BRACKET. Before beginning to pull, always check the stability of the PRO PULLING BRACKET. If you are using the support arms, make sure they are firmly in place against the underbody or wheel. With the plate under the wheel, ensure that the vehicle rests correctly on the plate. Never stand behind the chain when it is under tension. If it comes off, there is a high risk of injury.
This drawing bracket is intended to be used for straightening cladding plates. This bracket must not be used on structural components (sleeper blocks, B pillars, lower-body reinforcements), as these elements are made of high- strength, high-tensile steel and require a very high pulling force. Any damage to the product resulting from use that does not follow these recommendations will not be covered by the warranty.
- Do not operate the pump on the pump stand as this may cause the pump to be deflated. Always place the pump on the ground when in use.
- Do not stand behind the drawbar when it is in operation. Risk of serious injury.
MAINTENANCE
In order for the product to work at its best, it is important to perform regular maintenance according to the instructions below. The frequently that maintenance is carried out is based on normal use and a daily usage of eight hours. For more intensive use, maintenance should be carried out more frequently.
- Check the condition of the chain and the pulling claw,
- Check the parts for possible cracks or wear,
- Check that the bolts are tight,
- Check the pump hose for damage,
- Check the oil level and top up if necessary,
- Check the tightness of the hydraulic connections.
Dusting can be done with an air gun before cleaning. Wash the PRO PULLING BRACKET with a product suitable for painted, steel surfaces. Follow the cleaning product’s instructions. After cleaning, wipe the PRO PULLING BRACKET with a cloth. Never use a high-pressure sprayer as this can damage the paint.
