Lever Action Suction Pads
Warning! - The devices are for hand use only, do not use with hoists or other lifting gear.
1) Only use on smooth non-porous surfaces such as, glass, metal, plastic, marble etc. Porous materials such as wood, plaster/cement board cannot be gripped by any hand operated lifter.
2) Ensure the gripping face of the suction lifter is clean and free from contamination, such as grease, oil, water, glue, grit, adhesive tape or other matter. If the gripping face is wet it must be dried before use.
3) Ensure the surface to be lifted/gripped is clean and dry and free from contaminants as above.
4) Place the lifter cup(s) down on the surface to be gripped, apply light downward force and at the same time rotate the lever on each cup to the horizontal position. Check that the cups have gripped the surface, if not rotate the levers back to the vertical and try again.
5) Once the cups have gripped the surface, the load may now be lifted or moved as required. Caution! the gripping force is temporary therfore the lifting operation should be carried out as quickly as possible. On good surfaces like glass, the suction will last longer than for rougher surfaces like metal sheet.
6) To release the grip, ensure the load being lifted is safely supported and then rotate the levers back to the vertical . The grip will be released in a few seconds.
