To Install/Remove Extension Arms
1) Remove the cotterless hitch pin from one extension arm.
2) Insert the end of the extension arm in its socket on the pad frame, 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) Repeat steps 1-3 to install other extension arms as needed for the pad frame configuration
desired.
5) To remove extension arms, reverse this procedure. Store removed extension arms in a
clean, dry location to protect them from environmental exposure.
To Reposition (or Remove) Movable Pad Mounts
1) Depending on the desired location of a movable pad mount, it may be necessary to
disconnect the corresponding vacuum hose (see To Connect/Disconnect Vacuum Hoses
preceding). Disconnect the vacuum hose as needed to move a pad mount.
2) Remove the cotterless hitch pin (see illustration above) from the pad mount.
3) Move the pad mount to the desired position on the pad frame and align the holes for the
cotterless hitch pin in the pad mount with the corresponding holes in the pad frame.
4) Secure the pad mount by pushing the cotterless hitch pin through the holes until the retaining
ball emerges on the far side of the pad mount.
Note: When you are securing a pad mount on the main pad frame, the cotterless hitch pin
may encounter resistance from internally routed hoses or wires. If so, gently manipulate the
pin around any hoses or wires within the tube, in order to avoid damaging them.
5) If the vacuum hose was disconnected in step 1, reconnect the vacuum pad to an appropriate
connector on the pad frame (see To Connect/Disconnect Vacuum Hoses preceding). Make
sure that the vacuum hose is secure and routed to avoid interference with lifter operations.
6) Repeat steps 1-5 to position other pad mounts as needed. To ensure maximum
effectiveness of the dual vacuum system, make sure that the vacuum pads are connected in
an equal and alternating distribution to the 2 circuits of the vacuum system. Always position
vacuum pads in a symmetrical arrangement, and make sure that all vacuum hoses are
functioning correctly.
To remove a vacuum pad from the pad frame all together, disconnect the corresponding vacuum
hose and remove the pad mount as directed above. Store the pad and its mount in a clean, dry
location to protect them from environmental exposure. Use the pad cover supplied.
