Product Information

Full details

The DeWalt 18V XR GRABO Suction Lifter Kit is designed for construction professionals and DIY enthusiasts who frequently handle heavy materials like tiles, glass, metal, and semi-porous surfaces. Its key benefit is significantly enhancing safety and efficiency when lifting and installing these items, reducing physical strain and the risk of damage. A potential caveat is that optimal performance is best on smooth surfaces, though it accommodates textured and semi-porous materials with its 120kg lifting capacity. This cordless vacuum lifter features a built-in pressure sensor, a large digital display for real-time monitoring, and an early warning system for enhanced safety.

Troubleshooting

GRABO does not create a vacuum

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly connected. Check that the seal is clean, properly seated, and not damaged. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris. Verify the pump button is being pressed correctly.

Vacuum pressure drops during operation

Check the seal for leaks or damage. Ensure the surface is clean and free from obstructions. Clean or replace the foam filters if they are clogged. If the drop persists, the seal may need replacement.

Device powers off unexpectedly

Check the battery charge level on the display. Ensure the battery is securely fitted. If the problem continues with a fully charged battery, contact customer support.

Digital display is unreadable or not functioning

Ensure the battery is correctly installed and charged. If the display remains unresponsive, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 18V XR battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the GRABO.
  2. Clean the target surface to remove dust and debris, which can affect suction.
  3. Place the GRABO firmly onto the surface where you intend to lift.
  4. Press the pump button to create a vacuum. The device will automatically stop when optimal vacuum pressure is reached.
  5. Verify the digital display shows stable pressure and sufficient battery.
  6. To release, press the two-stage release buttons.

Compatibility:

  • Powered by DeWalt 18V XR batteries. Compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR batteries.
  • Suitable for lifting glass, tiles, metal, smooth plastics, drywall, and semi-porous materials like concrete and natural stone.
  • Not recommended for highly porous, rough, or uneven surfaces where a seal cannot be maintained.

Care:

  • Seals: Regularly inspect the seal for damage or wear. Clean the seal after each use to remove any residue. Replace the seal if it becomes damaged or loses its flexibility. The kit includes a replacement seal.
  • Filters: Clean or replace the foam filters periodically to ensure optimal airflow and prevent motor strain. The kit includes spare filters.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the device in water.
