Controlling the Lifter and Load
When the vacuum indicators show that the lifter is ready, use the
hoisting equipment to raise the lifter and load as needed to clear
any obstacles in their path. Use the control handle to keep the
lifter and load in the desired orientation while they are suspended
from the crane, as shown. Once sufficient clearance is
established, the load can be rotated or tilted as desired (see T

to follow).
In Case of Power Failure
In the case of a power failure (ie, in battery), 2 vacuum reserve tanks are designed to maintain
vacuum temporarily and a power loss warning buzzer will sound an alarm to alert the operator of
potential danger.
Stay clear of any suspended load 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 (see INTENDED USE: L

suspended load until it can safely be placed on the ground or a stable support. Correct any
deficiency before resuming normal operation of the lifter.
