    (red or green). 2) MALE END Note: Whenever a quick connector is disconnected, the corresponding vacuum pad does not contribute to the load capacity, whether or not the pad is mounted on the pad frame. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 13: Intended Use

    Note: Vacuum pads can stain or deform load surfaces with light colors or soft coatings. The operator should test such surfaces for detrimental effects before using the lifter on them. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 14: Perating Nvironment

    After the vacuum lifter has reached the end of its service life, you must dispose of the lifter in compliance with all local codes and regulatory standards that are relevant for the geographical region. Note: This lifter is equipped with a battery, which may be subject to special disposal regulations. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 15: Typical Applications

    YPICAL PPLICATIONS Though the lifter is designed with the flexibility to be used in many different ways, these illustrations represent some typical applications. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

    2 ft [60 cm] of the warning buzzer, in order for it to be effective. Consult CE Standard EN 457 for alternative ways to determine whether the alarm is clearly audible to operators. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 17: Confirming The Pad Frame Configuration

    Although the operator can reset the circuit breaker, the power interruption may indicate an electrical problem that requires attention. Correct any deficiency before resuming normal operation of the lifter (see wiring diagram provided). Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 18: Positioning The Lifter On The Load

    2" [5 cm] of the pad frame’s center point. Occasional loading deviations are permissible, provided that the operator can maintain control of the load at all times and that the load weight is low enough to avoid damaging the lifter. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 19: Sealing The Pads Against The Load

    If it takes more than 5 seconds for the vacuum level to reach 5" Hg [-17 kPa] on a vacuum gauge, press on any pad that has not yet sealed. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 20: Vacuum Level On Optimal Surfaces

    Certain load materials are too rough or porous to allow the lifter to form a seal which can be maintained for 5 minutes without power. However, in geographical locations where CE Standards do not apply, it may be possible to use the lifter to lift such loads. Contact Wood’s Powr-Grip for more information. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 21: Positioning The Lift Bar

    (see MAINTENANCE) and inspect the vacuum pads for damage (see MAINTENANCE: V ACUUM : Inspection). If the vacuum loss cannot be remedied immediately, perform AINTENANCE inspection and maintenance as needed to identify and correct any deficiency before resuming normal operation of the lifter. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 22: Controlling The Lifter And Load

    The appropriate way to tilt the load differs, depending on whether the lifter is attached to the load "above center" or "on center" (see To Apply the Pads to the Load: Positioning the Lifter on the Load preceding), as follows: Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 23: Tilting Loads When Lifter Is Positioned Above Center

    To lock out the tilt latches, push the tilt control lever upward until it locks in the disengaged position. Whenever tilt is not required, keep the tilt latches engaged, to prevent accidental damage to the load and possible injury to the operator. Rev 10.3/10-16 MTCL8FS10TDC: #35079...

  • Page 24: T O Release The Pads From The Load
