• 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. Environments containing explosives, caustic chemicals and other dangerous substances must be avoided when using the lifter. -
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.

- Page 13 WARNING: Lift point must be adjusted so as to prevent interference between adjustable lift point tube and load. Note: If the load would extend higher than the lift point when lifted or tilted upright, the lift point must be adjusted to prevent interference between the adjustable lift point tube and the load (see ASSEMBLY: T ).
- Page 14 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 both vacuum gauges, except when used at high elevations (see SPECIFICATIONS: Operating Elevation). If not, make sure the vacuum switches are adjusted correctly (see MAINTENANCE: V ).
- Page 15 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 latches (see T ILT THE follow) and raise the lift bar to a vertical orientation before attempting to lift.

Page 16: In Case Of Power Failure
Controlling the Lifter and Load When vacuum indicators show that the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed to clear any obstacles in their path. Use the control handles or other appropriate means to keep the lifter and load in the desired orientation while they are suspended from the crane. - Page 17 ILT THE WARNING: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T PPLY unbalanced loads may tilt unexpectedly when latches are disengaged. The tilt feature allows the operator to transfer a load from the flat position to the upright position, and vice versa (see INTENDED USE: T ).

Operational Tests • Perform the V to follow. ACUUM • Test all features and functions of the lifter (see OPERATING FEATURES, OPERATION and MAINTENANCE). -
Page 21: Battery Test
ATTERY The lifter is equipped with a battery gauge to help the operator evaluate whether the battery has adequate energy for lifting. Factors such as the condition of the battery, the time required to execute a lift, and the porosity of the load It is the combine to determine how much battery energy is needed. -
Page 22: Battery Recharge
Only use a battery charger supplied by or approved by Wood's Powr-Grip; other chargers may reduce battery life. Charge the battery as soon as possible after any extended use of the lifter, or whenever the battery gauge indicates diminished energy (see B preceding). -
Page 23: Friction Coefficient
In addition, all pad inserts 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.

Page 26: Damper Adjustment
AMPER DJUSTMENT The lifter is equipped with a tilt damper, to slow the motion of the pad frame as it tilts from the vertical orientation to the horizontal orientation. This feature minimizes unexpected or rapid motions, for which the operator may not be prepared. The damper is set at the factory and should not need adjustment. -
