ASSEMBLY 1) Remove all shipping materials and save them with the shipping container for future use. 2) 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 7) Connect the lifter to an appropriate compressed air supply (see Power Source under “SPECIFICATIONS”): Note: Qualified service personnel should This installation should be performed install the female quick connector by qualified service personnel. (supplied) on the compressed air line. Caution: Make sure the air line is routed so that it does not become tangled or damaged during operation.
- Page 11 ASSEMBLY 7.4) Adjust the air pressure regulator to supply 80 psi [550 kPa]: Pull up the adjustment collar on top of the regulator. Turn the collar clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure (fig. 7E). When the pressure gauge registers a minimum air pressure of 80 psi [550 kPa], push down the collar to lock it in place.

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 14: 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. PT-10TAIR: #35143... -
Page 15: 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 16: 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 18: 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. PT-10TAIR: #35143... -
Page 19: Ift And Ove The Oad
OPERATION IFT AND OVE THE Lift bar must be vertical to lift load. Interpreting the Vacuum Gauge Vacuum is sufficient Never lift load unless vacuum gauge registers in the to lift the Maximum green range, because premature lifting could result in Load Capacity whenever the load release and personal injury. -
Page 20: Controlling The Lifter And Load
OPERATION Controlling the Lifter and Load When the lifter is ready, use the hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed. Use a control handle (circled in fig. 1A) to keep the lifter and load in the required position. Once there is enough clearance, you may move the load as required. -
Page 21: T O Tilt The Load
OPERATION ILT THE Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (as previously directed). Caution: Unbalanced loads can interfere with the lifter’s tilt capability. 1) Make sure the load has enough clearance to tilt without contacting anyone or anything. 2) Use the tilt control valve to tilt the load as required: •... -
Page 22: 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. Move the lever on the vacuum control valve to the “release” position ( ): Simultaneously press the control valve’s button and turn the lever clockwise (fig. -
Page 23: After Using The Lifter
OPERATION FTER SING THE IFTER 1) Place the air supply valve in the “off” position ( ). 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 lifter on surfaces that could soil or damage vacuum pads. -
Page 24: 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... -

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 28: 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 29: 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. Rev 18.0/11-23... -
