INTENDED USE HARACTERISTICS Make sure the vacuum lifter is intended Do NOT lift explosives, radioactive to handle each load according to these substances or other hazardous materials. requirements: • The load weight must not exceed the Maximum Load Capacity. • The load must be a single piece of relatively nonporous material with a flat and 1, 2 relatively smooth contact surface.
INTENDED USE PERATING NVIRONMENT Make sure the vacuum lifter is intended for use in each work environment, given the following restrictions: • This lifter is not intended for any environment Never use lifter in dangerous that is dangerous to the operator or damaging environme nts.
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 12). 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.
OPERATION Performing Inspections and Tests • Follow the “I ” on page 28 and “T ” on page 29. NSPECTION CHEDULE ESTING • Service the 2 air filters whenever a bowl contains Examine air filters regularly liquid or other contaminates, or an element and service when needed.
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.
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Make sure the contact surfaces of the load and vacuum pads are clean (see “Pad Cleaning” on page 33). Positioning the Lifter on the Load Center the pad frame on the load (fig. 1A). Make sure all vacuum pads will fit on the load and will be loaded evenly (fig.
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.
OPERATION To use the optional Remote Control System, press the “attach” button ( , fig. 1D) on the radio transmitter. The vacuum pump will run until the vacuum pads seal completely. If the lifter takes too long to attach, the notification buzzer chirps and the LCD screen displays “Vacuum not increasing normally”, along with a diagnostic code (see “I...

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. Make sure the load has enough clearance to rotate without contacting anyone or anything.
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. Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything.

OPERATION A load with overhang may force you to release the control handle as the load approaches the flat position. In this case, use hand cups (circled in fig. 1A) or other appropriate means to control the load. MRT4-DC3: #35068 Rev 6.2/2-20...
OPERATION ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. 1) Hold the “function” button ( , fig. 1A) and the “release” button ( , fig. 1A). If the vacuum seal does not break, follow the directions on the LCD screen.
OPERATION FTER SING THE IFTER Press the power button ( , fig. 1A) and the “function” button ( , fig. 1A) to power down the vacuum lifter. 2) Charge the battery after each workday as needed (see “12-V ATTERY ” on page 34). ECHARGE 3) Use the hoisting equipment to lower the lifter gently onto a stable support.

OPERATION Disconnect the electrical connectors (figs. 3A-B and figs. 3C-E) to prevent battery discharge. 4) Store the lifter in a clean, dry location. Store the battery between 32° and 70° F [0° — 21° C]. Avoid storage above 100° F [38° C]. Rev 6.2/2-20 MRT4-DC3: #35068...
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS NSPECTION CHEDULE Perform inspections according to the following frequency schedule. If any fault is found, correct it and perform the next most frequent inspection before using the vacuum lifter. Note: If a lifter is used less than 1 day in a 2-week period, perform the Periodic Inspection before using it.
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS ESTING Perform the following test to determine whether or not a load surface is too porous or rough: Lifter/Load Compatibility Test 1) Make sure the vacuum generating system is functioning correctly (see “Vacuum Test” on page 30). 2) Thoroughly clean the load surface and the vacuum pads (see “Pad Cleaning”...
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS Perform the following tests before placing the lifter in service initially and following any repair, when directed in the “I ” on page 28, or whenever necessary: NSPECTION CHEDULE Operational Tests Test all features and functions of the lifter (see “OPERATING FEATURES” and “OPERATION”). Vacuum Test 1) Clean the face of each vacuum pad (see “Pad Cleaning”...
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS Rated Load Test The following steps must be performed or supervised by a qualified person: 1) Use a test load that weighs 125% (± 5%) of the Maximum Load Capacity and has the appropriate “L ” (see page 12). HARACTERISTICS 2) Attach the vacuum pads to the load as previously directed.
MAINTENANCE Notes: Refer to SERVICE MANUAL #36105 when applicable. See final section for wiring diagrams. ACUUM AINTENANCE Pad-to-Load Friction Coefficient The friction coefficient represents the lifter's ability to resist load slippage. 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.
MAINTENANCE Pad Cleaning Regularly clean the face of each vacuum pad (fig. 1A), using soapy water or other mild cleansers to remove oil, dust and other contaminates. Never use harsh chemicals on vacuum pad. Solvents, petroleum-based products (including kerosene, gasoline and diesel fuel) or other harsh chemicals can damage vacuum pads.
MAINTENANCE 12-V ATTERY ECHARGE Charge the battery whenever the battery gauge shows reduced energy. Caution: Make sure the lifter is powered down. 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.
MAINTENANCE OTIFICATION UZZER ATTERY EPLACEMENT 1) Power down the lifter. 2) Release the buzzer battery holder by pressing inward and sideward in the direction marked on the holder. Slide the battery tray out (fig. 3A). 4) Install a new 9-volt battery according to the polarity markings. 5) Slide the battery tray back into position.
