In Case of Power Failure
The vacuum package is equipped with a vacuum reserve tank, designed to maintain vacuum
temporarily in case of a power failure.
WARNING: 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, including the condition of the load and the lifter’s vacuum system (see

). If a power failure occurs, keep all personnel clear of the 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.

unbalanced loads may tilt unexpectedly.
Remember that the load requires more vertical space when tilted
to the upright position, as well as more horizontal space when
tilted to the flat position. Make sure there is sufficient clearance
for the load to tilt without contacting the operator or any nearby
objects. Maintain a firm grip on the control handle to keep the
load under control at all times. Lift upward or press downward on
the control handle to tilt the load as desired, and continue to
apply pressure as necessary to maintain the desired load
orientation. If load size permits, maintain control with the handle
throughout the tilt. For loads with overhang, it may be necessary
to release the control handle as the load approaches the flat position. If so, keep the load under
control using hand cups or other appropriate means.
