Instruções de operação

Follow these steps for effective and safe use of the QEP 75003Q Double Suction Cup:

  1. Preparar Superfície: Ensure the surface of the material you intend to lift (e.g., tile, glass) is clean, dry, and smooth. Any dust, moisture, or texture can prevent proper suction.
  2. Position Suction Cup: Place the QEP Double Suction Cup firmly onto the surface of the material. Ensure both rubber pads are fully in contact with the surface and are positioned symmetrically for balanced lifting.
  3. Engage Suction Levers: Press down on the suction cup body to create a seal, then firmly push down both black levers (grasp-and-release handles) until they lock into place. This action creates the vacuum seal.
  4. Teste de sucção: Before lifting, gently pull on the handle to confirm that a strong vacuum seal has been established and the material is securely attached. Do not proceed if the suction feels weak or if the cup detaches.
  5. Lift and Move: Once a secure suction is confirmed, carefully lift and move the material to its desired location. Maintain a firm and steady grip on the handle.
  6. Release Suction: To release the material, pull up on the black levers until they disengage. The suction cup will then detach from the surface.
