3. Assembly and Setup
The WORKPRO Stand Up Weed Puller Tool is designed for simple assembly. It typically consists of an L-shaped handle, a push rod, and a foot pedal. Follow these general steps for initial setup:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
- Connect Handle and Rod: Securely attach the L-shaped handle to the main aluminum push rod. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Attach Foot Pedal: Ensure the foot pedal mechanism is correctly aligned and attached to the main rod. The foot pedal is designed to be foldable for storage and should snap into place for use.
- Inspect: Before first use, verify that all parts are securely connected and the tool is stable.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective weed removal:
- Position the Tool: Place the 4-claw head directly over the center of the weed you wish to remove.
- Engage Claws: Step on the foldable foot pedal to push the steel claws firmly into the soil around the weed's roots. Ensure the claws penetrate deep enough to grasp the entire root system (approximately 3.14 inches).
- Extract the Weed: While keeping your foot on the pedal for leverage, tilt the handle of the tool towards the foot pedal. This action will cause the claws to grip the weed and pull it out of the ground along with its roots.
- Eject the Weed: Use the sliding handle mechanism to release the weed from the claws, typically into a waste bin or compost pile, without needing to bend down.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your WORKPRO Stand Up Weed Puller Tool:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove any soil or debris from the claws and shaft. A quick wash with water is sufficient.
- Drying: Allow the tool to air dry completely before storage to prevent rust, especially on the steel claws.
- Storage: Retract the foot pedal for compact storage. Store the tool in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and moving parts for wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Weed not pulling out completely. | Claws not deep enough; weed too large/deep-rooted. | Ensure claws penetrate fully by applying more pressure to the foot pedal. For very large weeds, try repositioning or loosening the soil around the weed first. |
| Tool feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections; foot pedal not fully extended. | Check all assembly points and tighten if necessary. Ensure the foot pedal is locked into its operational position. |
| Weed not releasing from claws. | Debris caught in mechanism; insufficient force on sliding handle. | Clear any trapped soil or plant matter. Apply firm pressure to the sliding handle to eject the weed. |
