    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 9.0/5-23...

    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. MT1TL6FAIR: #35080...
  • Page 17: T O Lift And Move The Load

    When the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed. Use the control handle (fig. 1B) to keep the lifter and load in the required position. Once there is enough clearance, you may move the load as required. Rev 9.0/5-23 MT1TL6FAIR: #35080...
