Page 9: Assembly
ASSEMBLY 1) Remove all shipping materials and save them with the shipping container for future use. 2) Suspend the lifter from appropriate hoisting equipment: 2.1) 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. - Page 10 ASSEMBLY Connect the lifter to an appropriate compressed air supply (see Power Source under “SPECIFICATIONS”): Note: Qualified service personnel should install the female quick connector (supplied) on the compressed air line, when necessary. Caution: Make sure the air line is routed so that it does not become tangled or damaged during operation.

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. -
Page 12: Indirect Loading
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. MT-10TAIR: #35090... -
Page 13: Operation
OPERATION EFORE SING THE IFTER Determine whether the vacuum lifter is capable of each intended task (see “SPECIFICATIONS” “INTENDED USE”). Then complete the following preparations: Taking Safety Precautions • Be trained in all industry Read all directions and safety rules before using and regulatory standards lifter. -
Page 14: T O Use The Pad Shutoffs
OPERATION SE THE HUTOFFS Each pad shutoff on the pad frame controls the vacuum line to the adjacent vacuum pad. Activating or deactivating the airflow at specific pads enables the lifter to handle loads with different weights and dimensions (see “SPECIFICATIONS”) or to avoid holes in the load surface. To support the maximum load weight and larger load Closing any pad shutoff dimensions, all pads must be activated;... -
Page 15: T O Attach The Pads To A Load
OPERATION TTACH THE ADS TO A Make sure the contact surfaces of the load and vacuum pads are clean (fig. 1A — see “Pad Cleaning”). Positioning the Lifter on the Load Determine which will be the top edge of the load while lifting, and position the long row of vacuum pads near that edge (fig. -
Page 16: Sealing The Pads On The Load
2..Although a vacuum pad may become distorted during shipping or storage, this condition should correct itself with continued use. 3..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. MT-10TAIR: #35090... -

OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Interpreting the Vacuum Gauge Vacuum is sufficient to lift the Never lift load unless vacuum gauge registers Maximum Load Capacity in the green range, because premature lifting whenever the vacuum gauge registers could result in load release and personal injury. in the green range. -
Page 18: In Case Of A Power Failure
OPERATION Never allow any pad shutoff to be opened or closed while lifting, because this could result in a load release and personal injury. In Case of a Power Failure A vacuum reserve tank helps maintain vacuum temporarily in the event of a power failure. Although the lifter is designed to support the load for at least 5 minutes without power, this depends on many factors, including the “L... -
Page 19: T O Tilt The Load
OPERATION ILT THE 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything. 2) Tilt the load to the position needed: • Tilting the load to the upright position (fig. 1A) happens automatically when it is lifted. •... -
Page 20: T O Release The Pads From The Load
OPERATION ELEASE THE ADS FROM THE Make sure load is at rest and fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. Do not move lifter until pads release completely, because such movement could result in load damage or personal injury. Place the vacuum control valve lever perpendicular to the vacuum line (ie, “release”... -
Page 21: Inspections And Tests
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 “REGISTRATION AND 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]. -
Page 23: Operational Tests
INSPECTIONS AND TESTS Perform the following tests before placing the lifter in service initially, following any repair, when directed in the “I ”, or whenever necessary: NSPECTION CHEDULE Operational Tests Test all features and functions of the lifter (see “OPERATING FEATURES” and “OPERATION”). Vacuum Test 1) Clean the faces of the vacuum pads (see “Pad... -

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. -
Page 25: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Note: Refer to SERVICE MANUAL #36112 when applicable. ACUUM AINTENANCE Pad-to-Load Friction Coefficient The friction coefficient represents the lifter's ability to resist load slippage. The Maximum Load Capacity assumes a friction coefficient of 1, based on testing of clean, new, standard rubber vacuum pads on clean, dry, regular glass. -
Page 26: Pad Cleaning
4) Allow the pad to dry completely before using the lifter. 1..A brush with bristles that do not harm rubber can help remove contaminates clinging to sealing edges. If these cleaning methods are not successful, contact WPG or an authorized dealer for assistance. MT-10TAIR: #35090... -
