Leave both valve handles in the “RELEASE” position (power off).
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the
vacuum pads.
The control handles at the end of the pad channels can be used to support an unloaded lifter
when not suspended from a crane: Make sure the pad channels are oriented vertically with the
handles at the bottom. Use the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter until the handles
support the entire weight of the lifter. Make sure the lifter leans securely against an appropriate
support; then detach the hoisting equipment hook from the lift spool.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping containers 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 frame to a horizontal
orientation and place a support under the lift spool.
Charge each battery completely when placing it in storage and at six-month intervals thereafter
(see MAINTENANCE: B

). 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 a 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.
