3) Make sure that all vacuum pads will fit
on the load (see SPECIFICATIONS:

pads will be loaded evenly (see

The lifter is designed to handle the maximum load weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity) when the load’s
center of gravity is positioned within 2" [5 cm] of the lifter’s rotation axis. Occasional loading deviations are permissible, provided
that the operator can maintain control of the load at all times and that the load weight is low enough to avoid damaging the lifter.
