WARNINGS
Wood’s Powr-Grip has taken great care to produce the most reliable vacuum-operated
handling devices available. Nevertheless, mistreatment or misuse may damage a hand
cup or otherwise create conditions which could cause the hand cup to fail, resulting
in an unexpected release. The following warnings are offered to help users avoid most
potential hazards.
Failure to observe WARNINGS could damage
the cup or the load, or cause injury to the user.
•
Do not use the cup to lift loads that exceed the load capacity.
•
Do not use the cup to support a person.
•
Do not leave a cup unattended which could injure people if it disengages unexpectedly.
•
Do not place the vacuum pad against surfaces which could damage the sealing edge.
•
Avoid conditions that could cause the cup to slip or to disengage prematurely, such as:
contaminants, cuts or scratches in the pad face or load surface; attaching the cup to porous
materials; or applying pressure against the pad edge.
•
Do not use the cup to lift when the red line is visible. If the red line reappears frequently,
discontinue use and follow the instructions for general maintenance and testing.
•
Do not allow anything to interfere with free movement of the plunger while the cup is attached.
This could prevent the red line from warning the user of vacuum loss.
•
Do not touch any release tab while lifting.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as solvents or gasoline) or rubber cleaners and conditioners
to clean the pad. See www.WPG.com for more information.
