OPERATION
To Attach
1) Position the hand cup on the contact surface so
the red line will be visible if it should appear
while lifting the load.
Caution: Some rubber compounds may stain
light surfaces or deform soft coatings. When
in doubt, test a sample of such materials for
permanent effects.
2) Press the rubber pad against the load as needed
to form a continuous seal.
Caution: Make sure the load is supported as
needed to prevent breakage.
3) Pump the plunger until the cup attaches
completely. When the red line is hidden, vacuum
is sufficient for lifting.
4) 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 again (see WARNINGS).
To Release
1) Set the load on a secure support.
2) Pull a release tab until the cup disengages
completely.
Caution: Remove the cup when not in use.
WARNINGS
Failure to observe WARNINGS could
damage the hand cup or the load, or
cause injury to the user.
• Do not use the cup to lift loads that exceed the
Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS).
• Do not use the cup to support a person.
• Do not leave a cup unattended which could injure
people if it disengages unexpectedly.
• Do not place the rubber pad against surfaces
which could damage a sealing edge.
• Avoid conditions that could cause the cup to
slip or to disengage prematurely, such as:
contaminants, cuts or scratches in the pad face
or load surface; attaching the cup to porous
materials; or applying pressure against the pad
edge.
• Do not use the cup to lift when the red line is
visible. If the red line reappears frequently,
discontinue use and see Service.
• Do not allow anything to interfere with free
movement of the plunger while the cup is
attached.
• Do not touch any release tab while lifting.
• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as solvents or
gasoline) or rubber cleaners and conditioners to
clean the pad.

• Elevation: up to 5,000' (1,524 m).
Note: Maximum Load Capacity includes a 3:1 design factor and requires:
• Attachment on clean, dry, relatively smooth, flat, nonporous surfaces
• Minimum vacuum level of 17½" Hg (-59 kPa)
• Friction coefficient of 1

Moisture or contaminants can reduce the slip resistance of the rubber pad.

The Maximum Load Capacity is based on lifting under controlled conditions with new hand cups attached to horizontal load
2
surfaces. Many factors can reduce the capacity, such as lifting a load when the cup is attached to a vertical or inclined surface,
or lifting a load that applies leverage to the cup. Contact an authorized dealer or WPG for more information.

MAINTENANCE
Service
If the hand cup does not function normally, first clean the rubber pad according to the directions to follow.
If the condition persists, see Inspection and TROUBLESHOOTING.
Note: Replace the rubber pad at least once every 2 years or whenever damage is discovered (see Inspection).
Cleaning
1) Remove the air filter from the rubber pad.
2) Use a clean sponge or lint-free cloth to apply soapy water or another mild cleanser
to the pad face (see WARNINGS).
Caution: To prevent liquid from contaminating the pump, hold the cup face-down or
cover the suction hole in the filter recess.
3) Wipe all residue from the pad face.
4) Allow the pad to dry and reinstall the air filter.
Inspection
Inspect the cup regularly for the following faults:
• cuts or damage to sealing edges of rubber pad.
• cracks or dents in handle or pump.
• reappearance of red line soon after attaching cup.
• sluggishness or dramatic changes in pump action.
• slick surface or stiffness of rubber pad.
• air filter missing from pad face.
Correct any faults before using the cup.
Storage
Store the cup in a clean, dry location out of direct sunlight. Use the cover to protect the pad face from damage.
