Maintenance Tips

• Inspect vacuum pads before each use for cracks, cuts, wear, or contamination that could reduce suction performance.
• Keep suction cups, filters, and sealing surfaces clean and free from dust, oil, and debris to maintain a secure vacuum grip.
• Check the automatic tilting mechanism regularly for smooth operation and signs of wear or misalignment.
• Inspect vacuum hoses, fittings, and connections for leaks, damage, or loose attachments.
• Test vacuum gauges, warning indicators, and safety systems before lifting glass or non-porous materials.
• Never exceed the rated lifting capacity of the unit to ensure safe operation and prolong equipment life.
• Lubricate pivot points and moving components according to manufacturer recommendations.
• Examine lifting eyes, frame components, and load-bearing parts for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear.
• Remove moisture and job-site debris after use to help prevent corrosion and mechanical issues.
• Inspect battery and electrical components (if equipped) for proper function and signs of damage.
• Store the lifter in a clean, dry environment and protect vacuum pads from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Replace worn vacuum pads, seals, and damaged components promptly to maintain maximum lifting safety and performance.
• Perform routine operational and safety inspections before every lifting application to ensure reliable handling of glass panels and similar materials.
