The operator must determine whether the hand cup is intended to be used in each work
environment, in accordance with the following restrictions:
WARNING: Never use hand cup in dangerous environments.
• This hand cup is not intended for use in any environment that is inherently dangerous to the
operator or likely to compromise the hand cup's ability to function. Environments containing
explosives, caustic chemicals and other dangerous substances must be avoided when using
the hand cup.
• The hand cup's work environment is limited by the Operating Elevation and Operating
Temperatures indicated in SPECIFICATIONS.
• Using the hand cup in wet environments may require the operator to take special precautions:
Moisture on contact surfaces of the load or the vacuum pad diminishes the hand cup’s slip
resistance, thereby reducing the lifting capacity (see MAINTENANCE: V

: Friction Coefficient).
WARNING: Moisture reduces slip resistance of vacuum pad.
Although the hand cup's exterior surfaces can tolerate some exposure to water vapor, they
are not designed to be water-tight. Submerging the hand cup or using it in rain may damage
hand cup components; these and similar conditions must be avoided.
