10" [25 cm] nominal diameter, lipped (Model HV11), 55 standard rubber, spring-
mounted (¾" [20 mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
Vacuum Pumps:
2 diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow
or
1 diaphragm type, 3 SCFM [85 liters/minute] nominal airflow
Vacuum Reserve Tank:
Vacuum reservoir helps prevent immediate vacuum loss in case of power failure and
extends battery life by reducing pump cycles required to maintain vacuum.
Vacuum Gauge:
Dial gauge indicates 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 pumps to re-engage.
Options:
See separate instructions about optional features.
Operating Elevation:
Maximum = 7000 feet [2133 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.
