Page 9: Assembly
ASSEMBLY 1) Remove all shipping materials and save them with the shipping container for future use. 2) Suspend the lifter from appropriate hoisting equipment: 2.1) Select a crane and/or hoist rated for the Maximum Load Capacity plus the Lifter Weight. Note: Any lifter use must comply with all statutory or regulatory standards for hoisting equipment in your region. - Page 10 ASSEMBLY Connect the electrical connectors (figs. 3A-B and figs. 3C-D). Remove the pad cover (fig. 4A) and save it for future use. 5) Perform tests as required under “T ”. ESTING FL1-DC: #35026 Rev 6.0/11-20...

Page 11: Intended Use
2..A “single piece” of material includes curtainwall assemblies, unitized glazing systems and similar construction units. 3..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. -
Page 12: Operating Environment
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 gauge. Contact WPG for more information. 2..Special provisions may allow the lifter to operate outside the specified temperature range. Contact WPG for more information. FL1-DC: #35026... -
Page 13: Operation
OPERATION EFORE SING THE IFTER Determine whether the vacuum lifter is capable of each intended task (see “SPECIFICATIONS” “INTENDED USE”). Then complete the following preparations: Taking Safety Precautions • Be trained in all industry Read all directions and safety rules before using and regulatory standards lifter. -
Page 14: Checking The Battery
OPERATION Checking the Battery Always check battery energy before every lift. Use the battery gauge to determine whether the battery needs to be charged (see “B ATTERY ”). Never use the lifter unless battery energy appears in the green range. ECHARGE •... -
Page 15: T O Attach The Pad To A Load
OPERATION TTACH THE AD TO A Make sure the contact surfaces of the load and vacuum pad are clean (see “Pad Cleaning”). Positioning the Lifter on the Load 1) Center the pad frame on the load, to avoid unexpected load movement or release. -
Page 16: Sealing The Pad On The Load
1..Although a vacuum pad may become distorted during shipping or storage, this condition should correct itself with continued use. 2..If the lifter is used above the maximum Operating Elevation (see “SPECIFICATIONS”), it may not be able to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting. Contact WPG for more information. FL1-DC: #35026... -
Page 17: T O Lift And Move The Load
OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Interpreting the Warning Light and Optional Warning Buzzer When vacuum is Never lift load unless warning devices turn off, because sufficient to lift the this could result in load release and personal injury. Maximum Load Capacity, the vacuum pump and the low vacuum warning light turn off temporarily, to conserve battery energy. -
Page 18: Controlling The Lifter And Load
OPERATION Controlling the Lifter and Load When the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed. Use the 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. -
Page 19: T O Release The Pad From The Load
OPERATION ELEASE THE AD FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pad. 1) Press the lever to release the latch and push the valve handle inward (fig. 1A) to the “release” position ( ). Do not move lifter until pad releases completely, because such movement could result in load damage or personal injury. -
Page 20: Storing The Lifter
OPERATION 4) To transport the lifter, secure it in the original shipping containers with the original shipping materials or equivalent. Storing the Lifter Use the pad cover supplied (fig. 1B) to keep the vacuum pad clean. !!–CE–!! To prevent the lifter from tipping over on relatively horizontal surfaces, place the vacuum pad facedown on a clean, smooth, flat surface. -
Page 21: Inspections And Tests
2..The Periodic Inspection is also required whenever the lifter has been out of service for 1 year or more. Keep a written record of all Periodic Inspections. If necessary, return the lifter to WPG or an authorized dealer for repair (see “LIMITED... -

12" Hg [-41 kPa] for 5 minutes. If not, lifting this load requires additional precautions (eg, a load sling). Contact WPG for more information. 8) Lower the load after 5 minutes or before the vacuum level diminishes to 12" Hg [-41 kPa]. -
Page 23: Operational Tests
1..The load should have either a flat surface or no more curvature than the lifter is designed for, if any. 2..Move the valve handle to the “release” position (power off) before reconnecting the battery. 3..For more information, search for your lifter’s Model Number at www.wpg.com and select the “Troubleshooting” link on the product page.

7) Prepare a written report of the test and keep it on file. 1..An equivalent simulation may also be used. Contact WPG for more information. 2..A “qualified person” has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work, either by possessing a recognized degree in an applicable field or a certificate of professional standing, or by possessing extensive knowledge, training and experience. -
Page 25: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Note: Refer to SERVICE MANUAL #36110 and consult the provided engineering drawings when applicable. ACUUM AINTENANCE Pad-to-Load Friction Coefficient The Maximum Load Capacity is based on a friction coefficient of 1, as determined by testing of clean, new, standard rubber vacuum pads on clean, dry, regular glass. If the lifter is used under any other conditions, a qualified person must first determine the effective lifting capacity. -
Page 26: Pad Cleaning
4) Allow the pad to dry completely before using the lifter. 1..A brush with bristles that do not harm rubber can help remove contaminates clinging to sealing edges. If these cleaning methods are not successful, contact WPG or an authorized dealer for assistance. FL1-DC: #35026... -
Page 27: Battery Recharge
MAINTENANCE ATTERY ECHARGE Charge the battery whenever the battery gauge shows reduced energy. Caution: Make sure valve handle is in “release” position ( / power off). Identify the input voltage marked on the battery Make sure power source has charger, and plug it in to an appropriate power ground fault circuit interrupter. -
