PERATIONS
Operate the vacuum lifter as directed in the OPERATION section of
the lifter's instruction manual. Be sure to follow all directions and
observe all warnings. However, when you encounter the following
topics, adjust your actions as indicated:
To Apply the Pads to a Load
WARNING: Keep apply function activated throughout lift.
Press the apply button ( ) on the Movable Control Pendant to make sure the apply function is
activated. This energizes the vacuum pump, causing air to be drawn at the vacuum pads
immediately. A low vacuum warning buzzer also sounds an alarm until the lifter attains sufficient
vacuum to lift the maximum load weight. The lifter must remain in the apply mode throughout
the entire lift.
To Release the Pads from the Load
WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.
The lifter is designed to prevent an accidental load release, which could result from
unintentionally interrupting the apply mode: When the load is at rest and fully supported, press
and hold the enable button ( ) and the release button ( ) on the Movable Control Pendant, to
force air into the vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold both buttons
until the vacuum pads disengage completely from the load.
WARNING: If vacuum pads do not disengage completely, do not attempt to
move the lifter or load.
The operator must never attempt to move the lifter or load until the vacuum pads are completely
disengaged, as this could cause an unexpected load release and potential injury to the operator
or others. If the vacuum pads do not disengage completely on the first attempt, repeat the
release process. If the load cannot be successfully released for any reason, reapply the vacuum
pads to the load as directed, prior to moving the lifter or load.
