Speed & Efciency
The Scotty line puller’s drive mechanism incorporates a positive drive gear
belt to turn the capstan. This highly efcient belt system is used by many
auto makers for valve timing, and the benet to the sherman is that power is
transferred from the motor at the greater efciency then worm gear drives used
in most line pullers. The result is a faster retrieval speed with less electric power
used.
Line Puller Safety
The Scotty Line Puller has been engineered to retrieve non-commercial,
sport-shing traps. Attempting to lift heavier traps may damage the unit, and may
cause personal injury to the operator. All sports have some physical hazards con-
nected with them and retrieving sport-shing traps calls for some common sense
and precaution.
• Do not attempt to lift a trap, that when fully loaded, is more weight than you
can safely handle.
• Do not attempt to use the Scotty Line Puller to lower your traps. It is not de-
signed for this purpose and may cause damage to the puller or personal harm
to the operator.
• When your trap reaches the surface, TURN THE UNIT OFF. Do not attempt to
lift a trap over the gunnel of your boat with the unit still running.
• Do not attempt to lift a snagged trap with the puller. If possible, the snagged
trap must rst be freed from the obstruction.
