SPECIFICATIONS Model Number: PT410AC Description: Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the PT410AC lifter employs vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and it provides powered 90° tilt movement for load manipulation. Power Source: See serial number plate for specific AC voltage, frequency and amperage.
For consultation, contact Wood's Powr-Grip (see LIMITED WARRANTY). Always employ a ground fault circuit interrupter when connecting the power cable to the power source. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
OPERATING FEATURES Note: Components featured in the following instructions for assembling, operating or maintaining the vacuum lifter are underlined on their first appearance in each section. Standard PT410AC shown. 1 LIFT SPOOL 6 VACUUM GAUGE 12 PAD FRAME 2 POWER SWITCH...
Then attach the hoisting equipment hook to the lift spool. WARNING: Hoisting equipment hook must be fitted with restraining latch to prevent lift spool from slipping off under any circumstances. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...

Remove the pad covers and save them for use whenever the lifter is stored. Now the lifter is operational. 4) Perform Operational and Load Tests for the lifter as directed in MAINTENANCE: T ESTING CHEDULE Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
The minimum continuous radius at the attachment area of the load must be either 45" [115 cm] around an axis parallel to the lifter's tilt axis or 95" [242 cm] around an axis perpendicular to the tilt axis (but not both). However, compound curves and complex shapes may permit loads with tighter radii to be lifted. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
ISPOSAL OF THE IFTER After the vacuum lifter has reached the end of its service life, you must dispose of the lifter in compliance with all local codes and regulatory standards that are relevant for the geographical region. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
In order for the operator to use the lifter on wet load surfaces, it must be equipped with 2 or more filters that are connected series . However, see MAINTENANCE: V : Friction Coefficient before using the lifter on wet load surfaces. ACUUM AINTENANCE Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
2" [5 cm] of the pad frame’s center point. Occasional loading deviations are permissible, provided that the operator can maintain control of the load at all times and that the load weight is low enough to avoid damaging the lifter. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
Certain load materials are too rough or porous to allow the lifter to form a seal which can be maintained for 5 minutes without power. However, in geographical locations where CE Standards do not apply, it may be possible to use the lifter to lift such loads. Contact Wood’s Powr-Grip for more information. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
Use the control handles to keep the lifter and load in the desired orientation while they are suspended from the crane. Once sufficient clearance is established, the load can be tilted as desired (see T ILT THE follow). Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
After the pads have disengaged completely from the load, move the lifter away. Continue to hold the release button until the pads are well away from the load; otherwise, the lifter would reattach itself to the load. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
Avoid placing the lifter in this position; or if this is unavoidable, place a support under the lift bar. Also be sure to provide manual assistance to the tilt actuator when raising the lift bar to the vertical position (see ASSEMBLY). Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
• 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 Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for repair (see LIMITED WARRANTY). Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
Any maintenance warranted must be performed before resuming normal operation of the lifter. ASME Standard B30.20 requires the lifter to be tested to 125% of its Load Capacity. Flat Lifters are exempt from this requirement. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
If the lifter is equipped with VPFS10T or VPFS625 pads, the sealing edge is the replaceable sealing ring. When it is damaged, install a new sealing ring insert. In such cases, see T to follow. EPLACE EALING NSERT IN ACUUM Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
If these cleaning methods are not successful, contact Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for assistance. Any test material used must be fully and independently supported, and capable of bearing the lifter’s weight. Do not use the lifter to lift the test material during the vacuum test. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
When the air filter is being used on a system, rather than with Never pressure, using the twist drain to remove liquid from the bowl is recommended. disturb the twist drain, as contaminants could lodge in the drain seal and cause a vacuum leak. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
2) Remove the four retainer screws (4) from the two retainer plates (5). Remove the cylinders (7), leaving the retainer plates and cups (6) inside. 3) Invert the cylinders (7) and push the retainer plates (5) out through the top. The cylinders and cups (6) will be replaced next. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
If the actuator is not used for a week or more at a time, oil may begin to separate from the lubricant and leak out. Although this leakage is not detrimental to the lubrication or operation of the actuator, you can avoid this condition by simply running the actuator for a few cycles each week. Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
In order to observe lifter functions while vacuum is decreasing, it may be necessary to create a controlled leak in the vacuum system (eg, by breaking the seal between one or more vacuum pads and the test surface). Rev 14.0/4-18 PT410AC: #35140...
