Wood’s Powr-Grip CF2EAO - Manual (Page 4)

Rev 0.0/1-13 2 CF2EAO: #35171
ASSEMBLY
Removable Pad Arms must be installed or removed from the lifter's pad frame as needed to
support a specific load’s weight and dimensions. To support the maximum load weight and
larger load dimensions, all pad arms must be installed on the pad frame and all vacuum lines
must be connected to the vacuum pads. To support smaller weights and dimensions, some
vacuum lines may be disconnected and the corresponding pad arms removed,
provided that
the lifter still has sufficient capacity to support the load .
Always arrange pad arms in a symmetrical configuration, to keep the lifter balanced. Utilize as
many vacuum pads as possible for each load, to maximize lifting capacity and to minimize load
overhang (see INTENDED USE: L
OAD
C
HARACTERISTICS
in lifter's instruction manual).
WARNING: Removing any pad arm reduces lifting capacity.
To calculate the lifting capacity when some pad arms are removed from the lifter's pad frame,
consult the Per-Pad Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS in lifter's instruction manual) and
multiply by the number of pads currently in use. Note that calculated capacities may not
exceed the Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS in lifter's instruction manual).

The vacuum line for each Removable Pad Arm is connected to or
disconnected from the vacuum system by means of a quick
connector. To connect the vacuum hose, push the male and
female ends of the connector together until they lock. To
disconnect the vacuum hose, move the release ring on the
female end away from the male end until the connector
separates. The quick connector must be disconnected in order
to remove a pad arm.
WARNING: Make sure vacuum hoses are coiled or routed to avoid damage
during lifter operation.
Make sure all vacuum hoses are secure and routed to avoid being punctured, pinched, kinked,
entangled, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in operation.
Note: Whenever a quick connector is disconnected, the vacuum pad served by that connector
does not contribute to the lifting capacity, whether or not the pad arm is mounted on the pad
frame.
