Description:
Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, PF-9DC lifters employ
vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and they provide manual 180° rotation and manual
90° tilt movements for load manipulation.
Power Source: 12 volts DC, 10 amps (with Thomas pump) or 3.5 amps (with Dynaflo pump)
Battery Capacity: 7 amp-hours
Vacuum Pads: 9" [23 cm] nominal diameter (Model VPFS9), standard rubber, spring-mounted (¼" [7
mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
Rotation Capability: Manual, 180°, with automatic locking at each ¼ revolution (when desired)
Tilt Capability: Manual, 90°, with automatic locking in vertical position
Vacuum Pump: Diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow
Vacuum Reserve Tank: Vacuum reservoir helps prevent immediate vacuum loss in case of power failure and
extends battery life by reducing pump cycles required to maintain vacuum.
Vacuum Gauge: Dial gauge indicates current vacuum level in positive inches of Hg and negative kPa.
Low Vacuum Warning Light: Red light is energized until vacuum level is sufficient to lift maximum load weight
(higher than 16" Hg [-54 kPa]) and whenever vacuum loss causes pump to re-engage.
Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer (if applicable): Maximum Alarm Volume = 103 dBA at 2' [60 cm]. While lifter is
powered up, audible alarm warns the operator whenever vacuum is not sufficient for
lifting the maximum load weight.
Options: See separate instructions about optional features.
Operating Elevation: Maximum = 6,000' [1,828 m]
Operating Temperatures: 32° to 104° F [0° to 40° C]
Service Life:
This lifter is designed to have a service life of 20,000 lifting cycles, when used and
maintained as intended. Vacuum pads, filter elements and other wear-out items are
excluded; see MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST for more information.
