ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The PM-1AIR is equipped with (1) T-Handle, (1) 24” threaded pipe, (1) 6” vinyl cup, (1) 6” x 8” Head
To assemble the PM-1AIR:
1.
Ensure threads are clean before assembly
2.
Thread the 24” threaded pipe onto the T-Handle. Thread until tight (about 4 full turns). Do not
overtighten threaded connections.
3.
Thread the 6” vinyl cup onto the 24” threaded pipe.Thread until tight (about 4 full turns). Do not
overtighten threaded connections.
4.
When tightening threaded connections, the connection should be easily turned by hand. If the
connection does not turn easily by hand, stop tightening and ensure the threads are started correctly.
The PM-1AIR works by applying air flow through a specialized valve. The airflow generates vacuum to
the vinyl suction cup. The PM-1AIR weighs 7 lbs. Before operating the PM-1AIR, it should be assembled
and properly set up.
To Operate the PM-1AIR:
1.
Verify that the material to be lifted is 75 lbs. or less
2.
Position the PM-1AIR on top of the material that will be lifted
3.
Connect the PM 1-Air to a 120 psi, 6 cfm or higher air supply
4.
Position cup on top of the material to be lifted.
5.
Depress the control valve as vacuum is applied to material surface
6.
Keep control valve depressed and use both hands to lift by the handles.
7.
Lower the material in desired position and release the control valve (Note: Safe operating height
should be no higher than 5” above working surface)
8.
Repeat steps 2-8 as needed to complete moving of material
DAILY MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION
• Perform a daily inspection prior to using this device.
• Inspect the unit for any loose fittings or damaged parts.
• Inspect threads for damage prior to assembly.
• Inspect the vinyl cup or foam strip for tears or damage that would prevent a proper seal to
material.
• If any defects are found, discontinue use of the device immediately.
• Only use the PM-1AIR for its intended purpose of handling material.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the PM-1AIR will not lift material:
1.
Check vinyl cup or foam for damage
2.
Check air supply for damage or operating issue
3.
Check material porosity (material may be too porous to lift)
4.
Check material weight (material may be too heavy to lift)
5.
Unit may need to be cleaned to remove debris
• Connect to proper air supply
•
Remove 6” vinyl cup or memory foam pad from 24” pipe
•
Place 24” pipe into 5 gallon bucket of warm water
•
Depress control valve and suction water through the unit - water will be expelled through control
valve end so point in a safe direction.
•
Continue depression of control valve until all water is suctioned through the unit
• Repeat if necessary
