Description:
Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, PF-9DCO lifters employ vacuum to hold a
load for lifting, and they provide manual 180° rotation and manual 90° tilt movements for load
manipulation.
Power Source:
12 volts DC, 10 amps (with Thomas pump) or 3 amps (with Dynaflo pump)
Battery Capacity:
7 amp-hours
Vacuum Pads:
9" [23 cm] nominal diameter (Model VPFS9), standard rubber, spring-mounted (¼" [7 mm] travel),
with #60 filter screen
Rotation Capability:
Manual, 180°, with automatic locking at each ¼ revolution (when desired)
Tilt Capability:
Manual, 90°, with automatic locking in vertical position
Vacuum Pump:
Diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow
Vacuum Reserve Tanks: Vacuum reservoirs help prevent immediate vacuum loss in case of power failure and extend battery
life by reducing pump cycles required to maintain vacuum.
Vacuum Gauges:
Dial gauges indicate current vacuum level in positive inches of Hg and negative kPa.
Low Vacuum Warning Light: Red light is energized until vacuum level is sufficient to lift maximum load weight (higher than
16" Hg [-54 kPa]) and whenever vacuum loss causes pump to re-engage.
Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer: Maximum Alarm Volume = 103 dBA at 2 ft [60 cm]. While the lifter is powered up, an
audible alarm warns the operator whenever vacuum is not sufficient for lifting the maximum load
weight.
Options:
Model EO10DVS - Dual Vacuum System. Two vacuum system circuits allow the lifter to maintain the
vacuum level in one circuit even if an unexpected vacuum loss occurs in the other one (eg, due to
load breakage). See separate instructions about other options.
Operating Elevation:
Maximum = 6000 feet [1828 meters]
Operating Temperatures: 32° to 104° F [0° to 40° C]
Service Life:
This lifter is designed to have a service life of at least 20,000 lifting cycles, when used and
maintained as intended. Vacuum pads, filter elements and other wear-out items are excluded; see
MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST for more information. For the D
