3) Suspend the lifter from appropriate hoisting equipment: 3.1) 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. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...

Remove the pad covers (fig. 4A) and save them for future use. 5) If the lifter has an optional pad frame, arrange it for optimal load support (see “P RAME ” PTIONS 6) Perform tests as required under “T ”. ESTING Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
Per-Pad Load Capacity (see “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3) and multiply by the number of pads currently in use). 1..Whenever a quick connector is disconnected, the corresponding vacuum pad does not contribute to the lifting capacity, whether or not the pad is mounted on the pad frame. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
4) Repeat steps 1-3 with other pad arms, as needed. Maintain symmetrical arrangement of the pad frame while proceeding. 5) Reverse steps 1-4, to reinstall the pad arms. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
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 34.2/11-22...
(see “A ” in SERVICE MANUAL). ILTER AINTENANCE 1..Lifters used on wet load surfaces must be equipped with 2 or more filters connected in series. See “O ” for restrictions. PERATING NVIRONMENT Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
Capacity and multiply by the number of pads currently activated. Always activate pads in a symmetrical configuration and use as many pads as possible for each load being lifted, to maximize lifting capacity and to minimize load overhang. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
2..The lifter is designed to handle the maximum load weight when the load’s center of gravity is positioned within 2" [5 cm] of the pad frame’s center point. Uncentered loads may rotate unexpectedly or interfere with the lifter’s tilt capability. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
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”), it may not be able to maintain sufficient vacuum for lifting. Contact WPG for more information. Rev 34.2/11-22...
2) Stop using the lifter until the cause of the vacuum loss can be identified: Conduct the “Pad Inspection” and perform the “Vacuum Test”. 3) Correct any faults before resuming normal operation of the lifter. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
If a power failure occurs, keep everyone away from a Stay clear of any suspended suspended load until it can be safely lowered to a stable load during power failure. support. Correct any faults before resuming normal operation of the lifter. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
4) To stop load motion, let go of the rotation release lever and guide the load to the next stop. Note: Whenever rotation is not required, keep the rotation latch engaged, to prevent load damage or personal injury. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
Move the tilt toggle switch (circled in fig. 2A) up or down on the movable control pendant, to tilt the load as desired. 3) Release the switch to stop motion. Note: See “L ” about HARACTERISTICS allowable load overhang. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
2) Use the hoisting equipment to lower the vacuum lifter gently onto a stable support. Then detach the hoisting hook from the lift point. Caution: Do not set the lifter on surfaces that could soil or damage vacuum pads. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
Transporting the Lifter Secure the lifter in the original shipping container with the original shipping materials or equivalent. 1..Storing the lifter without placing a support under the lift bar can result in damage to the tilt actuator. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
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...
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].
Correct any fault in the vacuum system before This service must be performed returning the lifter to service. by qualified service personnel. 1..The load should have either a flat surface or no more curvature than the lifter is designed for, if any. Rev 34.2/11-22 MRPT89AC: #35060...
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.
