The operator must never attempt to move the lifter or load until the vacuum pads are completely
disengaged, as this could cause an unexpected load release and potential injury to the operator
or others. If the vacuum pads do not disengage completely on the first attempt, repeat the
release process. If the load cannot be successfully released for any reason, reapply the vacuum
pads to the load as previously directed (see T

preceding) prior to
moving the lifter or load.
After the load is successfully released, the lifter will automatically activate a stand-by mode to
conserve the battery energy until the lifter is ready to lift another load. Once the stand-by mode
is activated, only the blue power light remains illuminated.
Prior to lifting another load, perform the Every-Lift Inspection as directed in MAINTENANCE:

Make sure the power switch on the lifter is in the OFF ( ) position. The power light shuts off
when the operator powers down the lifter.
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the
vacuum pads.
Use the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter onto a stable support; then detach the
hoisting equipment hook from the lift spool.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the
lifter so as to protect the vacuum pads and all other components from damage while in transit.
Storing the Lifter
Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean.
!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively
horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the
pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Then lower the lift bar to a horizontal
orientation and place a support under the lift spool.
Charge the battery completely when placing it in storage and at six-month intervals thereafter
(see MAINTENANCE: B
ATTERY
R
ECHARGE
). After charging the battery, disconnect the electrical
connectors uniting the battery to the battery charger and to the vacuum generating system, in
order to minimize power drainage. Preferred temperatures for storing the battery are 32° to
70° Fahrenheit [0° to 21° Celsius]. Higher temperatures require the battery to be charged more
frequently. Storage at temperatures above 100° Fahrenheit [38° Celsius] should be avoided.
