Instruction for Vacuum Suction Cups
Load and Environmental Conditions
Use the cup on clean, relatively smooth, nonporous surfaces, at
temperatures from 10° to 120° Fahrenheit [-12° to 49° Celsius]. Moisture or
contaminants can reduce the slip resistance of the cup. The red-line indicator
may not perform reliably at elevations above 5000 feet [1524 meters]; see
Service.
OPERATION
To Attach
1) Position the hand cup on the contact surface so the red line will be visible
if it should appear while lifting the load. CAUTION: Test the cup for staining
or deformation of load surfaces with light colors or soft coatings.
2) Pump the plunger until the cup attaches completely. When the red line is
hidden, vacuum is sufficient for lifting.
3) Check the plunger frequently to make sure the cup remains securely
attached. If the red line appears while lifting, set down the load immediately
and pump the plunger until the red line is hidden again (see WARNINGS).
To Release
1) Set the load on a secure support.
2) Pull one of the release tabs (on 6" [15 cm] cups) or press the valve
release lever (on other cups) until the cup disengages completely.
CAUTION: Remove the cup when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
Service
Since aging and wear reduce the capacity of the rubber pad, it should be
replaced at least once every 2 years or whenever damage is discovered (see
Inspection).
If the hand cup does not function normally, the cup face may be dirty or the
cup may require service. First clean the cup face according to the directions
to follow. If the condition persists, contact us at 800-980-7808 or visit
www.toolocity.com for assistance.
Cleaning
1) Remove the air filter from the cup face.
