Page 5: Specifications
SPECIFICATIONS Description: Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the FLEXR(L)-HV11AIR lifters employ vacuum to hold a load for lifting in the flat orientation. Model Number: FLEXR4HV11AIR FLEXR6HV11AIR FLEXRL6HV11AIR (w/4 Vacuum Pads) (w/6 Vacuum Pads) (w/6 Vacuum Pads) Load Capacity: (rated at 16"... -
Page 6: Warnings
Wood’s Powr-Grip cannot be responsible for the safety of a lifter that has been modified by the customer. For consultation, contact Wood's Powr-Grip (see LIMITED WARRANTY). Rev 3.0/7-15 FLEXR(L)-HV11AIR: #35036... -
Page 7: Operating Features
OPERATING FEATURES Note: Components featured in the following instructions for assembling, operating or maintaining the vacuum lifter are underlined on their first appearance in each section. Standard FLEXR6HV11AIR shown. 1 LIFT SPOOL 6 SLIDING PAD ARM 11 AIR SUPPLY VALVE 2 VACUUM CONTROL VALVE 7 AIR FILTER (large) 12 VACUUM GAUGE... -
Page 8: Assembly
ASSEMBLY 1) Open the shipping container and remove all materials for restraining or protecting the vacuum lifter. Save the container for use whenever the lifter is transported. 2) Suspend the lifter from a crane as follows: Select hoisting equipment (crane and hoist, when applicable) rated to carry the maximum load weight plus the lifter weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity and Lifter Weight). -
Page 9: 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 which may enable you to lift loads with higher surface temperatures. -
Page 10: Operating Environment
PERATING NVIRONMENT The operator must determine whether the lifter is intended to be used in each work environment, in accordance with the following restrictions: WARNING: Never use lifter in dangerous environments. • This lifter is not intended for use in any environment that is inherently dangerous to the operator or likely to compromise the lifter's ability to function. -
Page 11: Operation
OPERATION EFORE SING THE IFTER The operator must determine whether the lifter is capable of performing each intended task, in INSTRUCTIONS accordance with the SPECIFICATIONS and INTENDED USE sections of this manual. In addition, all of the following preparations must be completed prior to lifting any load. Taking Safety Precautions The operator must be trained in all relevant industry and regulatory standards for the operation of the vacuum lifter in its geographical location (eg, ASME B30.20 in the USA). -
Page 12: T O Change The Configuration Of Vacuum Pads
HANGE THE ONFIGURATION OF ACUUM The lifter can accommodate various load dimensions, depending on the position of the sliding pad arms and movable pad mounts on the pad frame (see illustration in OPERATING FEATURES). Move the pad arms and pad mounts inward or outward on the pad frame as needed to provide adequate support across the load surface. -
Page 13: Positioning The Lifter On The Load
Positioning the Lifter on the Load Make certain that the contact surfaces of the load and all vacuum pads are free of any contaminates that could harm the pads or prevent them from sealing against the load (see MAINTENANCE: V ACUUM AINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid accidental load release, always center lifter’s pad frame on... -
Page 14: Vacuum Level On Optimal Surfaces
Vacuum Level on Optimal Surfaces When the lifter is attached to clean, smooth, nonporous load surfaces, it should be able to maintain a vacuum level in the green range on the vacuum gauge, except when used at high elevations (see SPECIFICATIONS: Operating Elevation). If not, perform the V (see ACUUM MAINTENANCE) to determine whether there is a deficiency in the vacuum generating system. -
Page 15: Monitoring The Vacuum Gauge
Monitoring the Vacuum Gauge The vacuum gauge must remain completely visible to the operator, so that it can be monitored throughout the entire lift. WARNING: Vacuum gauge must be visible to operator throughout entire lift. The lifter’s vacuum pump runs continuously to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting the maximum load weight. -
Page 16: The Oad Release Thehe Pads Froadm Thehe Loadad
ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. When the load is at rest and fully supported, move the lever on the vacuum control valve to the back "RELEASE" position: Pull upward on the lever's knob, move the lever all the way (towards operator) and then release it. -
Page 17: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure power source is disconnected before servicing lifter. Note: One or more wiring/hose routing diagrams may be provided in the final section of this INSTRUCTIONS manual for reference when servicing the lifter or trouble-shooting a deficiency. NSPECTION CHEDULE Perform inspections routinely, according to the following frequency schedule: Every-Lift Inspection... -
Page 18: Infrequent Use
If any deficiency is detected during the inspection, correct it before using the lifter. If necessary, return the lifter to Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for repair (see LIMITED WARRANTY). Infrequent Use each time If a lifter is used less than 1 day in a 2-week period, perform the Periodic Inspection before using the lifter ESTING CHEDULE... -
Page 19: Aintenance Chedule
In addition, all pads should be replaced on a regular basis, preferably after no more than 2 years, to ensure that the friction coefficient is not compromised. If necessary, contact your dealer or Wood's Powr-Grip for more information. Inspection Inspect each vacuum pad for the following deficiencies routinely, as directed in the preceding and T . -
Page 20: Cleaning
Cleaning Regularly clean the face of each vacuum pad to remove oil, dust and any other contaminates. Acceptable cleaning agents include soapy water and other mild cleansers. Do use solvents, petroleum-based products (including kerosene, gasoline and diesel fuel) or any harsh chemicals for cleaning. -
