Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
✓   Keep the AK9894 clean for the best and safest performance.
✖ DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the AK9894.
✓   Suction lifters are hand tools and must not to be used with cranes or other lifting devices.
✓   Before each use, make sure the suction pad is smooth, clean and undamaged.
✓   Clean suction pad regularly with non-aggressive cleaners.
✓   Make sure the surface of the object to be lifted is of non-porous material. In addition, the surface must be clean, dry and free of oils and grease.
✓ Use on clean, relatively smooth, non-porous surfaces; Moisture or contaminants can reduce the slip resistance of the cup.
✓ On rough or porous surfaces, the holding capacity decreases or is non- existent.
✖ DO NOT use sharp objects to loosen the suction cup from the surface as this will damage the suction pad.
✓ Only use the suction lifter if you are experienced or under supervision by someone experienced in handling this tool.
✓   Always test the functioning of the suction cup prior to its use. Examine handle for dents or cracks.
✓ Examine rubber pad for excessive glaze, cuts or roughness.
✓ Suction cup should only be used for lifting, carrying and holding objects for a short period of time. However, in the case of long periods of attachment, check suction cup regularly to ensure firm adhesion. If grip does not feel sufficiently firm, re-apply suction cup.
✓   Prior to use, always check the rubber pad for possible loss of suction capacity due to reduced elasticity caused by excessive age, usage, etc. A rubber pad which is damaged or lacks sufficient suction capacity must be replaced. Never use suction cup with damaged rubber pad or insufficient suction capacity.
✖ DO NOT exceed stated lifting capacity of suction cup which is for ‘Float glass’ at room temperatures of 20°C. Cold temperatures, humidity and pollution, carelessly treated or damaged suction pads, or usage on materials other than flat glass (such as structured glass, plastics, stone, metal, etc.) may reduce the holding capacity considerably.
✖ DO NOT use the cup to support a person.
✖ DO NOT place the cup face against surfaces which could damage the sealing edges.
✓ Avoid conditions that could cause the cup to slip or to disengage prematurely, such as: contaminants, cuts or scratches in the cup face or mounting surface.

✖ DO NOT touch the rubber release tab or the valve release lever while lifting.
✖ DO NOT use any solvents or other harsh chemicals to clean the cup. Store suction cup in a flat, relaxed position when not in use.
✓   When not in use, store in a safe, dry, childproof area.

OPERATION

To Attach

Position the suction cup on the mounting surface so the red line (fig.1.3) will be visible if it should appear while lifting the load.
CAUTION: Look for deformation on painted surfaces or soft coatings. If deformation of the surface to be lifted occurs DO NOT attempt to lift.

Pump the plunger (fig.1.4) until the cup attaches completely. When the red line (fig.1.3) is hidden, vacuum is sufficient for lifting.
Check the plunger frequently to make sure the cup remains securely attached. If the red line appears while lifting, immediately set down the load and pump the plunger until the red line (fig.1.3) is hidden again.

To Release
Set the load on a secure support.
There are two methods to release the cup:

a. The preferred method, press the valve release lever (fig.1.2) for a controlled release, hold the lever down until the cup disengages completely.
b. Pull the release tab (fig.1.1) to instantly disengage cup from mounting surface.

MAINTENANCE

Always keep rubber pad clean and free of oil or grease. Clean suction pad regularly with non-aggressive cleaners.
DO NOT expose rubber pad to sunlight over extended period of time, to preserve elasticity.
If the cup does not function normally, the cup face may be dirty or the cup may require service. First clean the cup. If the condition persists, contact an authorised dealer for service.
