1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT VAC-U-PULL
Thank you for choosing Pro Spot’s VAC-U-PULL. The VAC-U-PULL provides an excellent solution for dent repair on
vehicles consisting of a portable pulling system that is xed to the ground by means of a vacuum system. The 500 lbs
pulling force, controlled by a winch system, provides the necessary force for each repair.
The correct operation of this equipment is subject to the correct connection of the dierent parts that make it up.
These operations must be carried out by trained and experienced personnel.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the safety of the equipment if the instructions for use, maintenance and repair
in this manual are not followed, or if the equipment is used for other purposes.
The VAC-U-PULL system is simple to learn, easy to use, safe and very ecient.
WARNING! For your safety, read this manual carefully.
Be very careful, as incorrect handling can cause serious damage to materials and people. The necessary
precautions for use and safety are listed below:
• Standing behind or in front of the equipment when it is under tension can cause serious injury. Always
stand o to the side.
• Ensure the oor area is clean (dust, liquids or other elements) and without cracks to guarantee the
correct sealing of the foam.
• When moving the VAC-U-PULL, tilt it back onto the rear wheels until the foam is o the ground to prevent
damaging the foam seal.
• The equipment requires compressed air supply for its operation (recommended operating pressure 60 psi).
Check that the base is xed.
WARNING! Always use it with connected compressed air.
Always check the air connection before unscrewing the sheet metal, otherwise, the oor fastening will
not be secured.
If the equipment will operate without compressed air, Pro Spot is not responsible for any damage to
persons, materials or other items in the vicinity.

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 OPERATING VAC-U-PULL
2.2 PRECAUTIONS
All the following operations must only be carried out by trained and qualied personnel.
Failure to comply with the instructions below or tampering with the pneumatic connections, exempts the
manufacturer from any liability for non-compliance or damage caused by malfunctioning of the equipment.
The following are the steps for the proper use of the VAC-U-PULL equipment:
1. Clean the area you intend to place the VAC-U-PULL.
2. Tilt back the unit onto its rear wheels until the foam base is o the ground then roll it to your
intended work area and position it so it is pointing at the area of repair, as straight as
possible.
3. Connect compressed air and press down on the base with your foot and the base should
stick to the ground.
4. Adjust the height so that it is level with what the VAC-U-PULL will be pulling.
5. Attach the VAC-U-PULL hook or multi-hook attachment to the pulling point.
6. The pull force required will depend on the repair to be carried out with the limitation of
550 lbs. A higher pulling force could damage the mechanism or cause the base to lose its
vacuum, resulting in the possible overturning of the base.
All the following operations must be carried out only by trained and qualied personnel. Failure to comply
with the provisions below or tampering with the pneumatic connections, exempts the manufacturer from any
liability for non-compliance or damage caused by malfunctioning of the equipment.
The following instructions must be observed by the operator.
The base does not empty suciently due to poor sealing of the base or rubber, excessive force, or failure of
the compressed air supply or ejector. In such a situation, the VAC-U-PULL will lose its hold and may fall in the
direction of the force being exerted.
WARNING! Always use this system for pulling forces of less than 500 lbs.
WARNING! When pulling the chain, no persons or materials should be placed around the equipment.

5.0 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
All maintenance and repair work must be carried out by trained personnel who have read this manual and
the operating instructions.
The following are recommendations for possible repairs to the machine.
The machine should be located in a place that is preferably at, free of scratches, cracks and cracks, and
as clean and dust-free as possible.
The foam acts as a sealant and should be checked to ensure that it is watertight when the vacuum is applied.
If it is in poor condition, always use original consumables to ensure correct operation of the equipment.
If the problem persists, call the Pro Spot technical assistance service.
Check the condition of the chain and its fasteners before exerting traction forces on them. In case of damage
or wear, always use original consumables to ensure correct operation of the equipment.
