OPERATION

BEFORE USING THE LIFTER

The operator must determine whether the lifter is capable of performing each intended task, in

accordance with the SPECIFICATIONS and INTENDED USE sections of this

INSTRUCTIONS

manual. In addition, all of the following preparations must be completed prior to lifting any load.

Taking Safety Precautions

The operator must be trained in all relevant industry and regulatory standards for the operation

of the vacuum lifter in its geographical location (eg, ASME B30.20 in the USA).

The operator must read and understand this

INSTRUCTIONS

manual, including all

WARNINGS

before using the lifter. If necessary, contact Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for

assistance.

WARNING: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

The operator must wear any personal protective equipment and take any other precautions

required to handle the load safely. Consult appropriate trade association guidelines to determine

what precautions are necessary for each type of load material.

Performing Inspections and Tests

WARNING: Always check battery energy before using lifter.

(See MAINTENANCE: BATTERY TEST)

Perform all inspections and tests required by the INSPECTION and TESTING

SCHEDULES (see MAINTENANCE). In addition, if the lifter has been in storage,

always conduct a VACUUM TEST before placing it in service (see MAINTENANCE).

CAUTION: Examine each air filter regularly, and empty when necessary.

The lifter is equipped with one or more air filters to help protect the vacuum system from

contaminates. In order for a filter to function, the operator must empty the filter bowl before

enough liquid accumulates to contact any portion of the filter element (see MAINTENANCE: AIR

FILTER MAINTENANCE).

Confirming the Pad Frame Configuration

WARNING: Load capacity of lifter can vary, depending on pad frame

configuration.

Make sure the pad frame has been assembled in the configuration that will provide optimal

support of the load while lifting (see ASSEMBLY: TO CHANGE THE PAD FRAME CONFIGURATION). The

pad frame configuration selected must be appropriate, both for the weight and for the

dimensions of the load in question.
