4A). Securely position vacuum hose to avoid damage during lifter operation. Note: Consult the hoisting equipment manufacturer to determine how to mount the vacuum generating system in a safe location that will not interfere with hoisting.

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... -

Page 15: T O Attach The Pad To A Load
Determine which will be the top edge of the load while lifting, and position the vacuum pad near that edge, centering the pad from left to right (fig. 2B). Make sure the pad will fit entirely on the load. Rev 9.0/5-23 MT1TL6FAIR: #35080... -
Page 16: Sealing The Pad On The Load
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... -

Then continue to lower the lifter, carefully allowing the load and lifter to tilt forward and downward (fig. 1B and inset) until the entire load rests on the support. MT1TL6FAIR: #35080 Rev 9.0/5-23... -
Page 19: T O Release The Pad From The Load
1..If you released the vacuum pad by pulling its tab and the next lift is not imminent, place the air supply valve lever to the “release” position until you are ready to lift another load. Rev 9.0/5-23 MT1TL6FAIR: #35080... -
Page 20: After Using The Lifter
To prevent the lifter from tipping over on relatively horizontal surfaces, place the vacuum pad facedown on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Transporting the Lifter Secure the lifter in the original shipping container with the original shipping materials or equivalent. MT1TL6FAIR: #35080 Rev 9.0/5-23... -
