ESTING CHEDULE
Perform these tests when placing the lifter in service
modification
. Correct any deficiency and retest before using the lifter.
Operational Tests
• Perform the V
ACUUM
• Test all features and functions of the lifter (see OPERATING FEATURES, OPERATION and
MAINTENANCE).
Load Test
Prove that the lifter can lift 100% of its Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS), using an
actual load or an equivalent simulation.
load:
1) Place a test load with appropriate L
support. Make sure the load is oriented in the upright position.
2) Apply the vacuum pads to the load as previously directed.
3) After the vacuum pump stops running, disconnect the electrical connector uniting the battery
with the vacuum generating system.
Note: After the test is completed, move the valve handle to the "RELEASE" position (power
off
) before reconnecting the battery.
4) Raise the load a minimal distance, to assure that it is supported by the lifter.
5) Hold the load for 5 minutes. The load must not slip or fall during this time period. If it does,
conduct a V
ACUUM
M : Inspection (see sections to follow). Correct any deficiency that is found and

retest the lifter.
Note: See MAINTENANCE topics to follow for additional directions about inspecting and testing
specific lifter components.

AINTENANCE
Unless specified elsewhere in this
maintenance on a routine basis. Instead, maintenance must be performed whenever a
deficiency is indicated by routine inspections or tests. Any maintenance warranted must be
performed before resuming normal operation of the lifter.
