WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.

When the load is at rest and fully supported, push the vacuum release button on the movable

control pendant to force air into the vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. After the
pads have disengaged completely from the load, move the lifter away. Continue to hold the
release button until the pads are well away from the load; otherwise, the lifter would reattach

itself to the load.

Place the main power switch in the OFF ( ) position.

CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the

vacuum pads.

Built-in parking feet can be used to support an unloaded lifter when not suspended from a crane:

Make sure the pad frame is oriented vertically with the parking feet at the bottom. Use the
hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter until the parking feet support its entire weight.
Make sure the lifter leans securely against an appropriate support; then detach the hoisting

equipment hook from the lift bail.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the

lifter so as to protect the vacuum pads and all other components from damage while in transit.

Storing the Lifter

Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean.

!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively

horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the
pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Then lower the lift bar to a horizontal
orientation (see OPERATION: T

ILT THE

OAD

) and place a support under the lift bail. However,

see the Note immediately following.

Note: Storing the lifter with its pad frame and lift bar in the horizontal orientation could damage

the tilt actuator, if the lift bar is not supported. Avoid placing the lifter in this position; or if this is

unavoidable, place a support under the lift bar. Also be sure to provide manual assistance to the
tilt actuator when raising the lift bar to the vertical position (see ASSEMBLY).
