Wood’s Powr-Grip CF15CEO - Manual (Page 14)

Rev 0.0/11-11 12 CF-CEO: #35186AFT
Be sure to adjust the position of vacuum pads so as to optimize load support and minimize load
overhang for the intended use. Pads must be arranged symmetrically, to keep the lifter
balanced. Make sure that all pads will fit entirely on the contact surface of the load and that they
will be loaded evenly while lifting (see Maximum Per-Pad Load Capacity in SPECIFICATIONS).
After confirming that pads are positioned to support the load correctly, continue to operate the
lifter as directed in the lifter's instruction manual.
Note: Depending on the position of pad mounts, the pad frame may extend beyond the edges of
smaller loads. When moving such loads, be careful to avoid any obstacles to the pad frame, as
well as to the load.
MAINTENANCE
When performing inspections and tests as directed in the lifter's instruction manual, be sure to
include all parts of each Pad Frame T-Arm Assembly, Extension Kit and Rocker Arms whenever
applicable. In particular, inspect and replace the vacuum pads or foam rubber pad inserts as
directed in the section covering vacuum pad maintenance.
Note: Vacuum pads for cladding and textured materials are designed with a higher leak-off rate
than other rubber vacuum pads from Wood's Powr-Grip. When you are performing a vacuum
test as directed in the lifter's instruction manual, use the following standard:
The vacuum level
should not decrease by more than 4" Hg [-14 kPa] in 5 minutes.
