Rev 1.0/6-14 3 EO2GSL: #35192
OPERATION
Using the Vacuum Lift Light requires minimal interaction from the operator. Operate the vacuum
lifter as directed in the OPERATION section of the lifter's instruction manual. After all vacuum
pads seal securely against the load and the lifter attains the vacuum level required for the
Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS in lifter's instruction manual), the lift light turns
on to indicate that the lifter is ready to lift the maximum load weight.
WARNING: Never attempt to lift load unless green lift light is illuminated.
Do not attempt to lift the load unless the lift light is illuminated; such an attempt could result in a
load release and possible injury to the operator. If the lift light does not turn on, press on any
pad that has not yet sealed.
WARNING: Lift light must be visible to operator throughout entire lift.
The lift light must remain completely visible to the operator, so that it can be monitored
throughout the entire lift. If the lift light turns off while you are lifting a load, make sure the
vacuum gauge shows a vacuum level of 16" Hg [-54 kPa] or higher. If not, move away and stay
clear of the load until it can be lowered to the ground or a stable support.
WARNING: Stay clear of any suspended load while vacuum level is lower than
16" Hg [-54 kPa].
Discontinue lifter use until the cause of the vacuum loss can be determined. If the lift light does
not turn on when the lifter is attached to clean, smooth, nonporous materials, the leakage is
likely to be in the vacuum system. In this event, perform a vacuum test (see MAINTENANCE in
lifter's instruction manual) and inspect the vacuum pads for damage (see MAINTENANCE in
lifter's instruction manual). If the vacuum loss cannot be remedied immediately, perform
inspection and maintenance as needed to identify and correct any deficiency before resuming
normal operation of the lifter.
MAINTENANCE
When performing inspections and tests of the lifter as directed in the MAINTENANCE section of
the lifter's instruction manual, be sure to include the Vacuum Lift Light whenever applicable.
