In Case of Power Failure

The lifter is equipped with a vacuum reserve tank, designed to maintain vacuum temporarily in

case of a failure at the lifter's power source.

WARNING: Stay clear of any suspended load in the event of a power failure.

Although the lifter is designed to support the load for at least 5 minutes without power, this

depends on many factors, including the condition of the load and the lifter’s vacuum system (see

INTENDED USE: LOAD CHARACTERISTICS and MAINTENANCE: VACUUM PAD MAINTENANCE, VACUUM

TEST). If a power failure occurs, keep all personnel clear of the suspended load until it can safely

be placed on the ground or a stable support. Correct any deficiency before resuming normal

operation of the lifter.

TO RELEASE THE PADS FROM THE LOAD

WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.

When the load is at rest and fully supported, push the vacuum release button to force air into the

vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. After the pads have disengaged completely

from the load, move the lifter away. Continue to hold the release button until the pads are well

away from the load; otherwise, the lifter would reattach itself to the load.

AFTER USING THE LIFTER

Place the power switch in the “OFF” position.

CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the

vacuum pads.

Parking feet are built into the bottom of the pad frame to support an unloaded lifter when not

suspended from a crane: Use the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter until the parking

feet support its entire weight. Make sure the lifter leans securely against an appropriate support;

then detach the hoisting equipment hook from the lift spool.

If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the

lifter so as to protect the vacuum pads and all other components from damage while in transit.

Storing the Lifter

Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean.

!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively

horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the

pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Since the lifter’s intended use does not

include tilting, be careful to protect the vacuum pads and support the lifter while tilting it to the

horizontal position.
