OMOUNT OMTGL01 Premium Suction Cup Glass Lifter Puller

OVERVIEW

General Maintenance

Inspect the Hand Cup Regularly:

• Make sure the air filter is in place; if not, discontinue use until the filter is replaced.
• Examine the plunger and handle for cracks or other damage.
• Examine the face of the vacuum pad for excessive glaze (a polished, glossy appearance).
• Examine the vacuum pad for cuts or roughness on the sealing edges.
• Periodically test the cup for excessive leakage, sluggishness in plunger action or radical changes in the number of strokes needed to keep the red line hidden.
• If the cup does not function normally, review the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (overleaf) to determine which corrective action is needed.

Clean the Vacuum Pad:

• Remove the air filter from the pad face.
• Use a clean sponge or lint-free cloth to apply soapy water or another mild cleanser to the pad face.
• Never use solvents or rubber conditioners as a cleaning agent (see WARNINGS).
• Hold the cup facedown or cover the suction inlet in the filter recess to prevent liquid from contaminating the pump during cleaning.
• If the pad has a felt strip at the edge, be careful not to dampen it.
• Wipe all residue from the pad face and allow the cup to dry.
• Reinstall the air filter.

Inspecting and Testing the Cup for Leakage

Inspect the Sealing Edges:

• Slowly draw your finger along the entire length of the sealing edges, to check for roughness or foreign material.

• Examine the sealing edges for cuts by bending the edge of the pad face towards you to create a hump, turning the hand cup as necessary.

• If cuts or cracks are present in a sealing edge, a V-shaped gap will appear.

• Any pad that exhibits a gap or excessive roughness in a sealing edge must be replaced.

Leak-Test the Hand Cup:

• Attach the cup to a clean, smooth, scratch-free piece of glass or metal for approximately 2 hours.

• The red line on the plunger serves as a vacuum indicator:

• If the red line does not appear during the test period, the cup is usable.

• If the red line does appear, perform general maintenance and repeat the test.

• If the problem persists, check the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (overleaf) to identify possible causes and appropriate corrective actions.

• Contact Omount’s Customer Service department or an authorized dealer for assistance if these measures do not restore the cup to normal performance.

• Based on product information at the time of publication. Environmental conditions can affect product performance and longevity; consult the product instructions on www.omount.co.in or contact a Technical Sales Representative for more information.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Disassembly Procedures

Remove the Plunger Assembly from the Handle

• Grasp the head of the plunger assembly and pull it straight out from the handle.
• Be careful to keep the plunger assembly clean and free of contaminants when it is not in the handle.

Remove the Handle from the Vacuum Pad

• Remove the 2 handle screws, and separate the handle from the pad.
• Carefully remove the valve stem from the rubber nipple on the pad by gently pulling on the handle and twisting it back and forth.

Remove the Retainer and Check the Valve from the Handle

• Remove the retainer and check the valve using a hooked scribe or similar tool. Be careful not to scratch the plastic!
• With a soft, lint-free cloth, carefully clean these parts, as well as the plunger assembly, paying particular attention to the U-cup and button.
• Wrap a small dowel or rod with a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the inside of the handle, to make sure it is clean and dry (lubricant-free).

Assembly Procedures

Inspect the Handle, and Reinstall the Check Valve and Retainer

• Carefully examine the inside of the handle for scratches and contaminates, using a flashlight for illumination:
• Scratches between the midpoint and the closed end of the handle can cause leakage.
• Scratches near the open end of the handle rarely present a problem.
• Make sure that no lubricant remains inside the handle.
• Drop the check valve inside the handle so that it lays flat against the closed end.
• Using a dowel or other tool that will not scratch the sides of the handle, push the retainer all the way into the handle to hold the check valve securely in place.

Attach Handle to Vacuum Pad

• Apply a light coating of plunger lube to the valve stem of the handle, and insert the valve stem into the pad nipple.
• Place the handle on the pad so its nipple fits through the large hole in the base plate near the closed end of the handle.
• Align the screw holes and reinstall the handle screws.

Reinsert the Plunger Assembly into the Handle

• Apply lubricant all the way around the exposed surface of the U-cup. Be careful to keep lubricant off the button!
• Plunger lube is recommended; contact Omount’s Customer Service to order this.
• Do not use improper lubricants in the handle.
• While making certain the button, check valve and retainer remain free of lubricant, insert the U-cup end of the plunger assembly into the handle.
• Push the plunger assembly until it begins to tighten; then seat the plunger assembly with one strong, swift motion.
• Operate the plunger, turning it to spread the lubricant thoroughly on the U-cup.

WARNINGS Failure to heed these warnings could damage your OMOUNT or the load, or injure the user

• Load Capacity is calculated for OMOUNTs attached to the upper side of horizontally oriented, static surfaces.
• Any leverage generated by lifting vertically oriented loads or by attaching equipment on OMOUNTs will reduce the effective capacity.
• Do not use your OMOUNT to support a person or loads that exceed its Load Capacity.
• Do not support loads that could cause injury if your OMOUNT disengages unexpectedly. Do not place your OMOUNT on surfaces that could damage the sealing edge of the vacuum cup.
• Avoid conditions that could cause your OMOUNT to slip or to disengage prematurely, such as contaminates, cuts or scratches in the mounting surface,
• applying your OMOUNT to porous materials, or applying pressure against the cup edge.
• Do not use your OMOUNT when the red line is visible. If the red line reappears frequently, discontinue use and refer to OMOUNT Maintenance and OMOUNT Troubleshooting Guide.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with the free movement of the plunger while in use.
• Avoid touching the release tabs while your OMOUNT is in use.
• Monitor your OMOUNT while in use.
• Do not use solvents or other harsh chemicals to clean the vacuum cup.
