system, the vacuum pads must be connected in an equal and alternating distribution to the 2
circuits.
5) Repeat steps #1-4 to install the second T-arm assembly, as shown in the preceding
illustration.
6) To remove T-arm assemblies, reverse this procedure. Store removed T-arm assemblies in a
clean, dry location to protect them from environmental exposure. Set the vacuum pads
facing upward, because prolonged pressure against the foam rubber seals may cause them to
become distorted.
Note: The bolts connecting the cross member to the mounting arm on each T-arm assembly
may be removed, allowing you to reposition the cross member laterally on the mounting arm.
Depending on the vacuum lifter used, such an adjustment may be required to keep a desired pad
configuration symmetrical. Precise alignment of the vacuum pads may be essential to attach the
lifter on architectural panels with high contours and/or narrow spacing between contours that run
the length of the panel. Position the cross members of both T-arms so that each cross member
is centered on the rotation axis (not centered on the mounting arm). Be sure to tighten the bolts
securely each time after you reposition a cross member on its mounting arm.
Connecting/Disconnecting Vacuum Hoses
The vacuum hose for each vacuum pad is connected to or
disconnected from the lifter's vacuum system by means of a
quick connector. To connect the vacuum hose, push the male
and female ends of the connector together until they lock. To
disconnect the vacuum hose, move the release ring on the
female end away from the male end until the connector
separates.
WARNING: Make sure vacuum hoses are coiled or
routed to avoid damage during
rotation or tilt.
Make sure all vacuum hoses are secure and routed to avoid being punctured, pinched, kinked,
entangled, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in operation.
Note: Since MRT4-DC lifters do not come equipped with quick connectors, a quick connector kit
is available with T-arm assemblies, when they are purchased for use on an MRT4-DC.

These optional components offer a variety of configurations to accommodate different
dimensions and weights of roof panels and similar loads (see illustration on following page).
Configuations are created by installing optional components from the extension kit and rocker
arms, as well as T-arm assemblies. While the extension kit provides the support needed to lift
long, rigid loads, the rocker arms and T-arm assemblies can be added to support even greater
load weights and lengths.
Select a configuration to provide optimal support across the load surface and to minimize load
overhang (see OPERATION: B
