TROUBLESHOOTING

 

If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following points can be used as a guide to correct the problem. 
When diagnosing faults in operation of the spike puller, always check the battery power source and battery 
charge level. 

Problem: 

Solution: 

Spike puller does not cycle properly 

Check the power source for proper contact and make 
sure the tool is properly lubricated. 

Spike puller does not pull effectively  

Check power source for damage and check trigger       
switch to ensure proper setting for pulling. 

Spike puller operates slowly 

Check for low battery level and replace the battery. If 
a Milwaukee drill is used, make sure it is set to #3. 

Jaw does not retract or extend while operating 

Check power source for proper contact, low battery, 
or remove the battery and look into the chute for an 
impedance. Remove impedance and replace the 
battery. 

*NEVER ACCESS UNIT WITH BATTERY ENGAGED 

 

 

Always store the tool in a clean, dry space, safe from damage or pilferage. Also, ensure the battery is 
disengaged and not on the tool. 

 

Do not exceed the rated limits or use of the tool for applications beyond its designed capacity. (see 
manual) 

 

Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible. 

 

Permit only authorized and certified dealers to perform tool repair.
