Page 8: Assembly
ASSEMBLY 1) Open the shipping container and remove all materials for restraining or protecting the vacuum lifter. Save the container for use whenever lifter is transported. 2) Suspend the lifter from a crane as follows: Select hoisting equipment (crane and hoist, when applicable) rated to carry the maximum load weight plus the lifter weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity and Lifter Weight). -
Page 9: Intended Use
• In order to avoid damaging the vacuum pads, the load's surface temperature must not exceed the allowable Operating Temperatures (see SPECIFICATIONS). However, if such an application cannot be avoided, Wood's Powr-Grip does offer a heat-resistant rubber compound and other solutions that may enable you to lift loads with higher surface temperatures. -
Page 10: Operating Environment
PERATING NVIRONMENT The operator must determine whether the lifter is intended to be used in each work environment, in accordance with the following restrictions: WARNING: Never use lifter in dangerous environments. • 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. -
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. In addition, all of the following preparations must be completed prior to lifting any load. -
Page 12: T O Apply The Pads To A Load
the alarm volume must exceed ambient noise by In order to be considered clearly audible, at least 15 dBA at the operator position. Since the Maximum Alarm Volume is 103 dBA, ambient noise must not exceed 88 dBA under any circumstances. Furthermore, if ambient noise measures 88 dBA, the alarm volume must be set to maximum and the operator must remain within 2 ft [60 cm] of the warning buzzer, in order for it to be effective. -
Page 13: Reading The Vacuum Gauge
Reading the Vacuum Gauge green The vacuum gauge indicates the current vacuum level in the lifter’s vacuum system. The range indicates vacuum levels sufficient for lifting the maximum load weight, whereas the range indicates vacuum levels that are sufficient for lifting the maximum load weight. The gauge needle should show a sudden surge in vacuum as the vacuum pads seal against the load. -
Page 14: Ift And Ove The Oad
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 latch (see T ILT THE follow) and raise the lift bar to a vertical orientation before attempting to lift. -
Page 15: Monitoring The Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer (If Applicable)
Monitoring the Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer (if applicable) If the lifter is equipped with a low vacuum warning buzzer, an alarm sounds until the lifter attains sufficient vacuum to lift the maximum load weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Load Capacity). After the lifter has attained this vacuum level, the alarm stops sounding, to indicate that the lifter is ready to lift the load. -
Page 16: T O Rotate The Load Edgewise
OTATE THE DGEWISE WARNING: Never disengage both the rotation latch and the tilt latch at the same time. This lifter is not designed for rotation and tilt functions to be used at the same time. Disengaging the rotation and tilt latches simultaneously could cause uncontrolled and unpredictable load movement, potentially resulting in load damage or injury to the operator. -
Page 17: T O Tilt The Load
ILT THE WARNING: Never disengage both the rotation latch and the tilt latch at the same time. This lifter is not designed for rotation and tilt functions to be used at the same time. Disengaging the rotation and tilt latches simultaneously could cause uncontrolled and unpredictable load movement, potentially resulting in load damage or injury to the operator. -
Page 18: After Using The Lifter
FTER SING THE IFTER Leave the valve handle in the “RELEASE” position (power off). CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the vacuum pads. Built-in parking feet can be used to support an unloaded lifter when not suspended from a crane: Make sure the pad frame is oriented vertically with the parking feet at the bottom. -
Page 19: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always make sure battery is disconnected before servicing lifter. INSTRUCTIONS Note: One or more wiring diagrams are provided in the final section of this manual for reference when servicing the lifter or trouble-shooting a deficiency. NSPECTION CHEDULE Perform inspections routinely, according to the following frequency schedule: Every-Lift Inspection •... -
Page 20: Infrequent Use
CAUTION: Be sure to use appropriate cleaning methods for each type of electrical component, as specified by codes and standards. Improper cleaning can damage components. • Keep a written record of all Periodic Inspections. If any deficiency is detected during the inspection, correct it before using the lifter. If necessary, return the lifter to Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for repair (see LIMITED WARRANTY). -
Page 21: Aintenance Chedule
Note: See MAINTENANCE topics to follow for additional directions about inspecting and testing specific lifter components. Since the low vacuum warning buzzer is controlled by a vacuum switch, consult the V discussion for inspection, testing and adjustment ACUUM WITCH DJUSTMENT procedures. -
Page 22: Battery Recharge
ATTERY ECHARGE 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: Inspection
In addition, all pads 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. Inspection Inspect each vacuum pad for the following deficiencies routinely, as directed in the preceding and T . -
Page 24: Vacuum Test
ACUUM Test the vacuum system for leakage routinely, as directed in the preceding I NSPECTION ESTING CHEDULES 1) Clean the face of each vacuum pad as previously directed (see V ACUUM AINTENANCE Cleaning). 2) Apply the lifter to a clean, smooth, nonporous surface. The surface should be flat or possess no more curvature than the lifter is designed for (if any). -

Page 28: Vacuum Switch Adjustment
ACUUM WITCH DJUSTMENT Vacuum Switch Function A vacuum switch controls the low vacuum warning light and the vacuum pump (see OPERATING FEATURES for location of vacuum switch): The valve handle activates the warning light and the pump, which evacuates the vacuum pads. After the lifter attains a vacuum level sufficient for lifting the maximum load weight (hereafter, “minimum lifting level”), the vacuum switch automatically turns off the pump and the warning light. -
Page 29: Adjustment Procedure
Adjustment Procedure WARNING: Lifting capacity decreases whenever vacuum switch is adjusted to maintain lower vacuum level. 1) Using a 1/4" open-end wrench (as provided), turn the adjustment screw about 1/6th turn at a time (approximately one flat of the screw head). lower clockwise To maintain a... -
