2) Insert the end of the extension arm as far as possible into its socket on the lifter's main pad
frame (see preceding illustration), so that the holes align for the cotterless hitch pin.
3) Secure the extension arm in the pad frame by pushing the cotterless hitch pin through the
holes until the retaining ball emerges on the far side of the pad frame socket.
4) Use the quick connectors to connect the 2 vacuum hoses on each T-arm assembly to the

Note: If the lifter is equipped with a dual vacuum system, 2 air-line circuits are identified by
color-coded vacuum hoses. In order to ensure maximum effectiveness of the dual vacuum
system, the vacuum pads must be connected in an equal and alternating distribution to the 2
circuits.
