WARNING: Never allow any pad shutoff to be opened or closed while lifting.

Opening or closing a pad shutoff while the lifter is supporting a load could result in the release of

the load and possible injury to the operator or others. The operator must take all appropriate

measures to prevent any person or object from accidentally moving the lever of a pad shutoff
during the lift.

In Case of Power Failure

The lifter is equipped with a vacuum reserve tank, designed to maintain vacuum temporarily in

case of a failure at the lifter's power source.

WARNING: Stay clear of any suspended load in the event of a power failure.

Although the lifter is designed to support the load for at least 5 minutes without power, this

depends on many factors, including the condition of the load and the lifter’s vacuum system (see

). If a power failure occurs, keep all personnel clear of the suspended load until it can safely

be placed on the ground or a stable support. Correct any deficiency before resuming normal
operation of the lifter.

CAUTION: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T

); unbalanced

loads may damage lifter.

Remember that the load requires more vertical space when tilted to the

upright position, as well as more horizontal space when tilted to the flat
position. Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the load to tilt

without contacting the operator or any nearby objects. The tilt toggle
switch on the movable control pendant controls the powered tilt
motion: To tilt the load towards the flat position, push the toggle up;

to tilt the load towards the upright position, push the toggle down.
Releasing the toggle switch locks the load in any position within the 90°
range of tilt movement.

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.
