ASSEMBLY
1) Open the shipping container and remove all materials for restraining or protecting the vacuum
lifter during shipping. Save the container for use whenever the lifter is transported.
2) Suspend the lifter from a crane as follows: Select hoisting equipment (crane and hoist, when
applicable) rated to carry the maximum load weight plus the lifter weight (see
SPECIFICATIONS: Load Capacity and Lifter Weight).
Note: Any application of the lifter must conform to all statutory or regulatory standards that
relate to the hoisting equipment when used in its geographical location (eg, relevant OSHA
standards in the USA).
WARNING: Hoisting equipment hook must be fitted with restraining latch to
prevent lift bail from slipping off under any circumstances.
Tilt the lifter upward enough for the lift bar to move freely, without interference from the
shipping container. Swing the lift bar to the center position of the 180° rotation range, where
it latches in position automatically.
Disengage the tilt latch (see OPERATION: T

) and raise the lift bar to a vertical
orientation. Then attach the hoisting equipment hook to the lift bail.
Note: Some hoisting equipment hooks could interfere with an upright load that extends
beyond the lifter's pad frame. If the load would contact the hook during lifter operation, the
operator must prevent this by attaching a sling (or other rigging that does not interfere with
the load) between the hook and the lift bail.
WARNING: Any sling used must be rated to carry maximum load weight plus
lifter weight.
Use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter out of
the shipping container.
3) Attach each Powr-Grip model N5450 hand cup to the
pad frame, as follows (see illustration): 3
Remove the four screws from the corners of the
hand cup’s handle base.
Slide the hand cup over the mount on the pad
frame.
Insert the 1/4-20 x 5/8" screws (provided) through
the mount and into the hand cup; then tighten the
screws securely. Now the lifter is operational.
