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 16: 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 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. MRTALPCH6-DC3(RC): #35125... -
Page 17: Operation
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. -

Page 19: Preparing To Use The Remote Control System
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. -
Page 20: T O Attach The Pads To A Load
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Make sure the contact surfaces of the load and vacuum pads are clean (see “Pad Cleaning” on page 35). Positioning the Lifter on the Load 1) Center the pad frame on the load. 2) Make sure all vacuum pads will fit on the load and will be loaded evenly. -
Page 21: Powering Up The Lifter
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. -

Page 25: 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 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. -
Page 26: T O Rotate The Load
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. 1) Latch the pad frame in the vertical position (see “OPERATING FEATURES” on page 6). 2) Make sure the load has enough clearance to rotate without contacting anyone or anything. -
Page 27: T O Tilt The Load
OPERATION ILT 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. 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything. Use a control handle (circled in fig. - Page 28 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 (fig. 4A) or other appropriate means to control the load. Note: The pad frame automatically latches in place when it returns to the vertical position.
