ASSEMBLY Repositioning Vacuum Pads Remove the cotterless hitch pin (fig. 1A) that secures a sliding/movable pad mount to the pad frame. 2) Position the pad mount as required on the T-arm assembly. 3) Use the cotterless hitch pin to secure the pad mount. Repeat these steps to position other pad mounts as needed.
1..A “single piece” of material includes curtainwall assemblies, unitized glazing systems and similar construction units. 2..Vacuum pads made from a heat-resistant rubber compound can enable you to lift loads with higher surface temperatures. Contact WPG or an authorized dealer for more information.
1..Although lifter use may be possible at higher elevations, lifting capacity is reduced whenever the lifter is unable to attain vacuum in the green range on the vacuum gauges. Contact WPG for more information. 2..Special provisions may allow the lifter to operate outside the specified temperature range. Contact WPG for more information. MRTALP4-DC3: #35058...
OPERATION EFORE SING THE IFTER Determine whether the vacuum lifter is capable of each intended task (see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 and “INTENDED USE” on page 13). Then complete the following preparations: Taking Safety Precautions • Be trained in all industry and regulatory Read all directions and safety standards for lifter operation in your region.
OPERATION Performing Inspections and Tests • Follow the “I ” on page 30 and “T ” on page 31. NSPECTION CHEDULE ESTING • Service the 2 air filters whenever a bowl contains Examine air filters regularly liquid or other contaminates, or an element and service when needed.
OPERATION Preparing to Use the Remote Control System The optional radio transmitter (fig. 1A) and radio receiver enable you to activate the lifter's “attach” and “release” functions at distances up to 250' [76 m], provided you have a clear and direct view of the lifter and its status indicators.
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Make sure that the contact surfaces of the load and the vacuum pads are clean (see “Pad Cleaning” on page 35). Positioning the Lifter on the Load Attach lifter to load as directed below. Failure to follow instructions could result in load damage or personal injury.
OPERATION Powering up the Lifter Press the lifter's power button , fig. 1A). The vacuum pump will run for a few seconds, as a normal function ® of the Intelli-Grip self- diagnostics. The lifter automatically tests the 9-volt battery for the notification buzzer each time the lifter is powered up.
1..The gauge face colors do not correspond with the circuit colors. 2..If the lifter is used above the maximum Operating Elevation (see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3), it may not be able to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting. Contact WPG for more information. MRTALP4-DC3: #35058...
OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Lift bar must be vertical to lift load. About the Tilt Linkage The tilt linkage minimizes operator effort and Unbalanced loads may tilt automatically holds a balanced load in either unexpectedly during lifter operation. the upright or the flat position. However, an Make sure load is positioned unbalanced load may tilt unexpectedly, correctly on lifter.
OPERATION Interpreting the Lift Light When the vacuum lifter is ready to lift the Never lift load unless Maximum Load Capacity, the vacuum lift lift light is illuminated, light turns on automatically and the vacuum because premature lifting pump turns off temporarily, to conserve battery could result in load release and personal injury.
OPERATION Controlling the Lifter and Load When the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed. Use a control handle (circled in fig. 1A) to keep the lifter and load in the required position. Once there is enough clearance, you may move the load as required.
OPERATION OTATE THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). Never disengage rotation and tilt latches at the same time, because this could result in load damage or personal injury. Never rotate load when lifter is attached “above center” (see “T TTACH THE ADS TO ”...
OPERATION ILT THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). Never disengage tilt and rotation latches at the same time, because this could result in load damage or personal injury. Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything.

OPERATION A load with overhang may force you to release the handle as the load approaches the flat position. In this case, use hand cups (circled in fig. 1A) or other appropriate means to control the load. Note: The pad frame automatically latches when tilted to the vertical position.
OPERATION ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. Hold the “function” button ( fig. 1A) and the “release” button , fig. 1A). If the vacuum seal does not break, follow the directions on the LCD screen.
OPERATION FTER SING THE IFTER Press the power button ( , fig. 1A) and the “function” button ( , fig. 1A) to power down the vacuum lifter. 2) Charge the battery after each workday as needed (see “12-V ATTERY ” on page 36). ECHARGE 3) Use the hoisting equipment to lower the lifter gently onto a stable support.
