POSITION POST IN LINE WITH HOOKUP AND ACNHORS

Make sure the post is directly in line with hookup, back chain anchors, AND ANCHORS HOLDING THE AUTOMOBILE. Prevent shifting of car.

DO NOT STAND NEAR THE
POST DURING A PULL

Always stand a minimum of six feet away from post during a pull. NEVER STAND DIRECTLY BEHIND POST DURING A PULL.

DO NOT OVERLOAD SKYHOOK DURING VERTICAL PULL
Exercise care and good judgement when making a vertical pull. Excessive loading may damage post and/or skyhook beam.

DO NOT OVER-EXTEND HEIGHT OF POST
Pulling mechanism does not have a built-in stop at end of pulling height.

   The Big Champ Powered Post incorporates a few innovations most likely unfamiliar to repair technicians trained in the use of conventional pulling post designs. It is for this reason that this manual has been prepared. Refer to this this manual on-line or print the pages to keep handy near the repair stall so when you have to make a hookup, just go to the appropriate section and follow the step by step instructions.

    Before operating the post, though, it will help if you first read the page containing the DETAIL OF THE POST so you won’t become confused later when trying to make a hookup.

    Also, spend a few minutes learning the CHAIN THREADING PATTERNS, CHAIN LOCK POSITIONS, and the basic hookups showing AUTOMATICALLY EQUALIZED DOUBLE PULLS. This is a feature that only CHAMP has. Equalization of back chain pressures on the double pull will ensure proper distribution of forces between the two pulls and will prevent uneven loading of the post during a pull.

    Only use chain by the manufacturer when using the post. Observe safety precautions at all times. The operator must always be prepared for the event of a breakaway. If safety chains are not used, the post could tip over backwards and cause possible property damage, injury, or death. Safety chains should be used on all hookups. Only qualified, trained personnel should be permitted to operate this equipment. The author and manufacturer assume no liability for any incidental or consequential damages.
