Rev 23.0/1-13 4 MT-HV11FDCO: #35092
ASSEMBLY
1) Open the shipping container and remove all materials for restraining or protecting the vacuum
lifter. Save the container for use whenever the lifter is transported.
2) Suspend the lifter from a forklift or other hoisting equipment as follows: Select hoisting
equipment rated to carry the maximum load weight plus the lifter weight (see
SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity and Lifter Weight).
Note: Any application of the lifter and its remote vacuum package must conform to all
statutory or regulatory standards that relate to the hoisting equipment when used in its
geographical location (eg, OSHA Standard 1910.178 “Powered industrial trucks” for forklifts
used in the USA).
Make sure the lift slings are securely attached to the lifter. Then attach the free eye of each
lift sling to the hoisting equipment.
WARNING: Hoisting equipment must be fitted with restraining latch to prevent
lifter from slipping off under any circumstances.
Note: It may be desirable to use a large clevis to connect the lift slings to the hoisting
equipment. This makes suspending the lifter easier, since only the clevis must be attached to
or removed from the hoisting equipment.
WARNING: Clevis and clevis pin must be rated to carry maximum load weight
plus lifter weight.
Use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter out of the shipping container. Be careful to
avoid damaging any vacuum pads. Remove the pad covers and save them for use whenever
the lifter is stored.
