How Electric Powered Vacuum Lifters Work
 
Basic Operating Procedure
  1. Turn vacuum generator switch to "ON".
  2. Center lifter on load
  3. Load must not exceed dimensions and capacity
  4. Pads must be equally distributed over load.
  5. Make sure that valves to pads-in-use are open.
  6. Make sure lifter makes full contact with load then switch to "Attach". Wait until the vacuum gauge indicates sufficient vacuum level at pads.
  7. Lift load a few inches, stop and check for safe, stable vacuum, then proceed while observing all safety rules.
  8. If vacuum level drops, put lifter down, as lifter is unsafe. At end of lift, put load down, switch valve to "release".
  9. When finished with lifter, store unit on optional parking stands or with pads off the floor.
