4. MAINTENANCE
3. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and
apply Section 1 safety instructions.
The suction cup is designed to work best on float glass at
a room temperature of 20ºC. Cold temperatures, humidity
and other surface contamination may reduce the holding
capacity of the tool. The tool may not be as effective on
other sheet materials such as plastic and metal. Moisture
and other contaminants will also reduce the slip resistance
of the cup.
WARNING! This is a manual hand tool and must not
be used in conjunction with a crane or any other
lifting device.
3.1 Ensure that the workpiece to be moved is clean, dry and
free from oil and grease.
3.2 Remove the protective cover from the suction cup.
3.3 Holding the handle, firmly push the suction cup onto the
material and hold it there under pressure.
3.4 With your other hand, pump the plunger until it recedes
into the barrel and the red line disappears from view. The
suction cup should now be firmly attached and ready for
use.
3.5 Always keep the plunger in view during moving/lifting.
Should the plunger begin to rise and the red line
reappears, this indicates a loss of suction and you should
immediately put down the load.
3.6 Check that the suction cup and surface of the material are
clean and free from any foreign bodies or imperfections.
When satisfied, reattach the suction cup as previously
described.
NOTE: The suction cup is designed for lifting, carrying and
holding objects for a short period of time only. If
circumstances cause an object to be held for longer than
expected, the grip must be checked frequently with
reference to the plunger position and the visibility of the
red line.
3.7 Only release the suction cup when the load has been set
down. To release the suction cup from the surface to
which it is attached, lift the release tag at the side of the
cup. DO NOT use any sharp object to loosen the suction
cup as it may damage the rubber and prevent the tool
creating suction.
3.8 Refit the protective cover onto the suction cup and store it
in aclean, dry, childproof location.
4.1 Check condition of suction cup regularly, if damaged
replace using genuine parts only.
4.2 Always keep suction cup clean and free of oil and grease.
Clean regularly with a non-aggressive cleaner.
