VacUp Operation

02.jpg (2302 bytes)

VacUp's vertical motion is controlled by raising or lowering the raise/lower handle.  This increases or decreases the vacuum level in the lifting hose and regulates the load height.  If the handle is released, VacUp will maintain its position.  The operator simply moves his hand naturally up and down, and VacUp will follow, moving loads up to 300 lbs. effortlessly.

VacUp's holding function is controlled by the Grip/release handle.  To grip a load, the grip/release handle is "tapped" downward, and it automatically springs to open the foot to vacuum.  To release the load, the grip/release handle is pulled towards the operator with a finger or two outstretched from the raise/lower handle.  This will not only cut off the vacuum to the foot, but will also open the foot to the atmosphere, relieving any residual vacuum found in it. It is not necessary to twist or tip the unit for the VacUp to release it's load.
