The operator must determine whether the lifter is capable of performing each intended task (see

• Caution: Examine each air filter regularly, and
empty when necessary.
Two air filters help protect the vacuum generating system on each pad channel from
contaminants (see MAINTENANCE FEATURES), but the filters would not necessarily prevent liquid
from entering the vacuum system. Examine each filter regularly, to determine whether service is
needed (see IN-LINE AIR FILTER SERVICE in
SERVICE MANUAL for details).
