Maintenance Tips  

• Inspect the lifter before each use for worn jaws, damaged rubber pads, loose components, or signs of deformation.
• Keep gripping surfaces and rubber-lined jaws clean to ensure a secure, non-slip hold on glass panels.
• Check the automatic locking and release mechanism regularly for smooth operation and proper engagement.
• Never exceed the 750 kg (1,653 lb) working load limit and always center the clamp on the glass for balanced lifting.
• Verify that glass is fully inserted into the clamp before lifting and lift loads slowly to confirm stability.
• Lubricate moving parts according to manufacturer recommendations and remove dust, debris, and moisture after use.
• Replace worn or damaged rubber contact pads immediately to prevent glass damage and maintain grip performance.
• Store the lifter in a dry, protected environment to minimize corrosion and extend service life.
• Inspect lifting points, shackles, and attachments regularly for wear or damage before operation.
• Schedule routine safety inspections and maintenance to ensure reliable performance in glass handling applications.
