ASSEMBLY

TO SET UP THE LIFTER

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 crane as follows: Select hoisting equipment (crane and hoist, when

applicable) 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 must conform to all statutory or regulatory standards that

relate to the hoisting equipment when used in its geographical location (eg, relevant OSHA

standards in the USA).

WARNING: Hoisting equipment hook must be fitted with restraining latch to

prevent lift spool from slipping off under any circumstances.

If the lifter is equipped with the optional tilt lock, make sure it is either disengaged or locked

out (see OPERATION: TO LIFT AND MOVE THE LOAD: Using or Locking out the Optional Tilt Lock).

Then raise the lift bar to a vertical orientation and attach the hoisting equipment hook to the

lift spool.

Note: Some hoisting equipment hooks could interfere with an upright load that extends

beyond the lifter's pad frame. If the load would contact the hook during lifter operation, the

operator must prevent this by attaching a sling (or other rigging that does not interfere with

the load) between the hook and the lift spool.

WARNING: Any sling used must be rated to carry maximum load weight plus

lifter weight.

Use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter out of the shipping container, being careful to

avoid damaging any vacuum pads. The control pendant for the hoisting equipment can be

attached to the lifter by inserting it into the hoist pendant basket provided. Remove the pad

covers and save them for use whenever the lifter is stored.

3) Arrange the pad frame in the configuration that will provide optimal support of the load while

lifting (see TO CHANGE THE PAD FRAME CONFIGURATION to follow).

4) Connect the electrical connectors uniting the battery to the battery charger and the vacuum

generating system. Now the lifter is operational.

5) Perform Operational and Load Tests for the lifter as directed in MAINTENANCE: TESTING

SCHEDULE. If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, also perform the REMOTE

CONTROL SYSTEM TEST (see MAINTENANCE).
