BTH-1 1..Available with other rubber compounds for special purposes (see www.wpg.com). 2..These dimensions reflect pad configurations with the Maximum Load Capacity; other configurations are possible for lighter loads. 3..The Maximum Load Capacity is rated at a vacuum of 16" Hg [-54 kPa] on clean, smooth, nonporous flat surfaces with a friction coefficient of 1. Pad compound, load rigidity, strength, surface conditions, overhang, angle, center of gravity and temperature can also affect the lifting capacity.

ASSEMBLY 4) Suspend the lifter from appropriate hoisting equipment: 4.1) 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. 4.2) Attach the hoisting hook to the lift point (fig.
ASSEMBLY HANGE THE RAME ONFIGURATION If the lifter has an adjustable pad frame, various configurations enable it to match different load dimensions: MRPTHD1211LAC MRPTHD2011LAC 1) Choose a configuration to maximize support across the load surface and to minimize load overhang (see “L ”...
ASSEMBLY 2) Reposition telescoping pad arms and reposition or remove movable pad mounts as needed (see following sections): • To support the maximum load Route vacuum hoses as needed to prevent weight, you must install all damage to them during lifter operation. vacuum pads on the pad frame and connect all vacuum hoses to the pads (see following sections).
ASSEMBLY Extending/Retracting Telescoping Pad Arms Remove the cotterless hitch pin and slide a telescoping pad arm into or out of the pad frame until the hitch pin holes align at the desired position (fig. 1B). 2) Reinsert the pin to secure the telescoping pad arm (fig. 2B). 3) Repeat steps 1-2 to reposition other telescoping pad arms, as needed.
ASSEMBLY Connecting/Disconnecting Vacuum Hoses Make sure quick connectors seal completely and all vacuum hoses function correctly (see “Vacuum Test” on page 27). To connect a vacuum hose, push the male and female ends of the quick connector together until they lock (fig. 1B). To disconnect a vacuum hose, move the release ring on the female end until the quick connector separates (fig.
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.
1..Although lifter use may be possible at higher elevation, 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. Rev 1.0/2-21...
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 14). 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.
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Generating Airflow Place the power switch in the “on” position ( ), to engage the vacuum pump. Keep pump running throughout lift. The lifter is designed for the vacuum pump to run continuously. Placing the power switch in the “off” position ( ) during lifter operation could result in a load release and personal injury (see “In Case of a Power Failure”...
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” on page 3), it may not be able to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting. Contact WPG for more information. MRPTHD-AC: #35066...
OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Lift bar must be vertical to lift load. Interpreting the Lift Light When the vacuum lifter has Never lift load unless lift light is sufficient vacuum to lift the illuminated, because premature lifting Maximum Load Capacity, the vacuum lift could result in load release and personal injury.
OPERATION In Case of a Power Failure A vacuum reserve tank helps maintain vacuum temporarily in the event of a power failure. Although the lifter is designed to support the load for at least 5 minutes without power, this depends on many factors, including the “L ”...
OPERATION OTATE THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to rotate without contacting anyone or anything. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points between pad frame and lift bar. Keep the load under control at all times, using control lines, hand cups or...
OPERATION ILT THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything. Move the toggle switch on the movable control pendant up or down (fig.
OPERATION ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. Push the vacuum release button ( — circled in fig. 1A) on the movable control pendant, to break the vacuum seal. Do not move lifter until pads release completely, because such movement could result in load damage or personal injury.
OPERATION 3) Use the hoisting equipment to lower the vacuum lifter gently onto a stable support. Then detach the hoisting hook from the lift point. Storing the Lifter Unplug the power cord (see “ASSEMBLY” on page 8). 2) Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean (fig. 1A). !!–CE–!! To prevent the lifter from tipping over on relatively horizontal surfaces, use the parking stands as previously described, if the lifter has...
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 WARRANTY”...
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].
1..The load surface should have either a flat surface or no more curvature than the lifter is designed for (if any). 2..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.
MAINTENANCE Note: Refer to SERVICE MANUAL #35277 when applicable. ACUUM AINTENANCE Pad-to-Load Friction Coefficient The friction coefficient represents the lifter's ability to resist load slippage. 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.
4) Allow each 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. MRPTHD-AC: #35066...
