• Keep a written record of all Periodic Inspections.
If any deficiency is detected during the inspection, correct it before using the lifter. If necessary,
return the lifter to Wood’s Powr-Grip or an authorized dealer for repair (see LIMITED

Infrequent Use
If a lifter is used less than 1 day in a 2-week period, perform the Periodic Inspection
each time
before using the lifter.

Operational Tests
• Perform the V

to follow.
• Test all features and functions of the lifter (see OPERATING FEATURES, OPERATION and
MAINTENANCE).
Load Test
Prove that the lifter can lift 100% of its Maximum Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS), using an
actual load or an equivalent simulation.
Employ the following method to test with an actual
load:
1) Place a test load with appropriate L

(see INTENDED USE) on a stable
support. Make sure the load is oriented in the upright position.
2) Apply the vacuum pads to the load as previously directed.
3) After the vacuum pumps stop running, place the power switch in the “off” ( ) position.
4) Raise the load a minimal distance, to assure that it is supported by the lifter.
5) Hold the load for 5 minutes. The load must not slip or fall during this time period. If it does,
