Page 11: To Install/Remove Pad Frame Extensions
To Install/Remove Pad Frame Extensions 1) Set the lifter with the vacuum pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. 2) To install pad frame extensions, insert the tabs extending from one pad frame extension between the rails of the pad frame. If the tabs do not fit between the rails, loosen the bolts that connect the tabs to the extension. -
Page 12: To Route Vacuum Hoses
To Route Vacuum Hoses Each of the two pad frame configurations requires specific routing for vacuum hoses connecting to the vacuum pads via two quick connectors on each end of the pad frame. Labels attached to each of the blue hoses near the male end of their quick connectors provide assistance for making the correct circuit connection in either configuration. -
Page 13: Intended Use
• In order to avoid damaging the vacuum pads, the load's surface temperature must not exceed the allowable Operating Temperatures (see SPECIFICATIONS). However, if such an application cannot be avoided, Wood's Powr-Grip does offer a heat-resistant rubber compound and other solutions that may enable you to lift loads with higher surface temperatures. -
Page 14: Perating Nvironment
Conversely, allowable thickness increases as load weight decreases. In addition, an operator may be able to manually counteract the tendency of unstable loads to tilt out of the upright position, provided that the operator maintains control of the load at all times (see OPERATION: T : About the Tilt Linkage and T ). -
Page 15: Disposal Of The Lifter

-
Page 21: T O Lift And Move The Load
IFT AND OVE THE Positioning the Lift Bar WARNING: Lift bar must be oriented vertically to lift load. Never lift the load from a flat position with the lift bar latched parallel to the load. Always disengage the tilt latch (see T ILT THE follow) and raise the lift bar to a vertical orientation before attempting to lift. -
Page 22: Monitoring The Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer
Monitoring the Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer Using the low vacuum warning buzzer requires minimal interaction from the operator. The warning buzzer sounds an alarm until the lifter attains sufficient vacuum to lift the maximum load weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity). After the lifter has attained this vacuum level, the alarm stops sounding, to indicate that the lifter is ready to lift the load. -
