Maintenance Tips

• Inspect vacuum pads before each use for wear, cuts, hardening, or contamination that may reduce suction performance.
• Clean pads and sealing surfaces after every operation to remove dust, slurry, oil, and stone residue.
• Check vacuum hoses, fittings, and seals regularly for cracks, leaks, or loose connections.
• Test the vacuum gauge and audio/visual alarm system before lifting to ensure safe vacuum levels.
• Ensure the battery is fully charged, properly connected, and stored in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
• Inspect the vacuum pump and reservoir for stable pressure retention and any signs of leakage.
• Check lifting handle, frame, and hook points for deformation, cracks, or loose fasteners.
• Never exceed the rated load capacity (up to 380 kg depending on configuration and material conditions).
• Keep filters clean and free from dust or debris buildup to maintain consistent suction performance.
• Store the unit in a dry, protected location away from moisture, chemicals, and direct sunlight.
