TURA 682520 Vacuum Suction Cups
Load and Environmental Conditions
Use the cup on clean, relatively smooth, nonporous surfaces, at temperatures from -12° to 49° Celsius. Moisture or contaminants can reduce the slip resistance of the cup. The red-line indicator may not perform reliably at elevations above 1524 meters; see Service
OPERATION
To Attach
-
Position the hand cup on the contact surface so the red line will be visible if it should appear while lifting the load.
CAUTION: Test the cup for staining or deformation of load surfaces with light colors or soft coatings. -
Pump the plunger until the cup attaches completely. When the red line is hidden, a vacuum is sufficient for lifting.
-
Check the plunger frequently to make sure the cup remains securely attached. If the red line appears while lifting, set down the load immediately and pump the plunger until the red line is hidden.
-
Always use tie-down straps or equal safety equipment and attach the rig to the vehicle.
To Release
- Set the load on secure support.
- Pull one of the release tabs until the cup disengages completely.
CAUTION: Remove the cup when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
Service
Since aging and wear reduce the capacity of the rubber pad, it should be replaced at least once every 2 years or whenever damage is discovered (see Inspection). If the hand cup does not function normally, the cup face may be dirty or the cup may require service. First, clean the cup face according to the directions to follow.
Cleaning
- Remove the air filter from the cup face.
- Use a clean sponge or lint-free cloth to apply soapy water or another mild cleanser to the cup face. CAUTION: To prevent liquid from contaminating the pump, hold the cup face-down or cover the suction hole in the filter recess.
- Wipe all residues from the cup face.
- Allow the cup to dry and reinstall the air filter.
Inspection
Examine and test the cup regularly to make sure it does not exhibit the
following faults:
- cuts or damage to sealing edges of the rubber pad.
- cracks or dents in the handle or pump.
- the reappearance of the red line soon after attaching the cup.
- sluggishness or dramatic changes in pump action.
- excessive glaze or stiffness of rubber pad.
- air filter missing from cup face.
Correct any faults before using the cup (see Service).
Storage
Store the cup in clean, dry condition within its protective carrying case.
