OPERATION
OPERATING TIPS
The following information does not include all conditions that
may be encountered in standard operations, but is intended to
supplement any operational and safety training. Contact your
Vacuworx representative for additional training information.
ATTACHING TO HOST MACHINE
1. Connect the host machine to the mounting assembly
(Fig. 1-1). Make sure the lock levers are fully engaged.
Fig. 1-1
2. Connect the three hydraulic hoses to the host machine
using the supplied quick connects (Fig. 1-2).
Fig. 1-2
3. Position the hydraulic hoses using the attached
magnets so they do not interfere with the operation
of the host machine.
4. Route the vacuum control hoses up to the cab of host
machine. Use attached magnets to secure hoses so they
do not interfere with host machine function (Fig. 1-3).
Fig. 1-3
5. Connect hoses to control box.
6. Mount controller to metal surface inside cab with
attached magnets (Fig. 1-4).
Fig. 1-4
7. Rotate storage legs into the operating position.
VACUUM GAUGES
Always position lifter so that the operator can see the
lifter gauge.
The lifter gauge should always read in the green range
(Fig. 1-5, 1) when operating. If the gauge is in the yellow
range (Fig. 1-5, 2), lower the load and rebuild vacuum.
We recommend you do not use the lifter below -18 inHg
(-61 kPa) of vacuum. If the gauge drops into the red range
(Fig. 1-5, 3), immediately stop, determine what the cause
is, and correct it before continuing.

AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS
1. Activate auxiliary hydraulics to build vacuum in
reservoir.
2. Repeat to build vacuum as necessary during operation
(refer to host machine owners manual).
