Porta Puller Instructions (American Power Pull EZ2000)

Note: The poorly written the Porta Puller (EZ2000) operating instructions are printed in faint, miniscule text. Here's what I've inserted into the box for emergency use.

Raise the Handle


Straighten the handgrip and push the handle cylinder’s slot fully down over the spring-loaded button.

Do not use the holes in the cylinder. They have no purpose.

Unreel the Cable


Put the control lever (Up/Down Switch) into the forward position towards the long cable end.

Disengage the retainer pawl underneath by holding the lever (tail) of the retainer pawl against the frame, freeing the ratchet wheel to spin freely.

Tighten the Cable


Put the control lever (Up/Down Switch) into the reverse position towards the clevis end and away from the cable.

Pull the handle.

Honda Pioneer 500 Emergency Gear Change Selection

If something goes wrong with your gear shifting on a Honda Pioneer 500, you can use a tool under the seat to put the machine into a gear that will get you home.

I've scanned two pages from the Honda Pioneer 500 User manual so I can blow it up and keep these instructions handy under the seat.

Here's a picture of the diagram showing where the special tool goes:

You may also want the instructions of the two pages, scanned as PDFs.

I haven't been able to find an online PDF from Honda. That's odd, because the dealer gave me links to the shop manual as PDFs.
