Powering up the Lifter
Place the power switches for both pad channels in the ON
( ) position, as shown (power indicator lights turn on).
11
Never turn power off while lifting.
Keep the power switches in the ON position while lifting a
load. Any power interruption during a lift could result in
the release of a load and possible injury to the operator or
others (see T
O
L
IFT AND
M
OVE THE
L
OAD
: In Case of Power
Failure to follow).
If the lifter is equipped with Remote Control Systems, press the transmitter power/enable
buttons on both radio transmitters and hold them briefly to activate the transmitters. 12
Note: If a transmitter is activated, the transmission indicator light flashes green when any button
on the transmitter is pressed and held; if the transmitter is not activated, the indicator light
flashes red when any button is pressed (see B

Optional Remote Control Systems preceding).
Sealing the Pads against the Load
Press the apply buttons ( ) on both pad channels as
shown.
Keep apply function activated throughout
lift.
If the lifter is equipped with Remote Control Systems, press one apply button ( ) on each
of the two radio transmitters.
The vacuum pumps will immediately begin to draw air through the vacuum pads, and the low
vacuum warning buzzers will sound an alarm until the lifter attains sufficient vacuum to lift the
maximum load weight (see T O L IFT AND M OVE THE L OAD : Interpreting the Warning Buzzers and Lift
Lights to follow). Firm pressure on the lifter helps the pads to seal against the load. 13
11
When the operator powers up each pad channel on the lifter, either the stand-by function or the apply function is
automatically activated, depending on which was used last.
12
A radio transmitter turns off automatically, after a period of inactivity. The operator can also operate the lifter without using
radio transmitters, if desired.
13
Although a vacuum pad may become distorted during shipping or storage, this condition should correct itself with continued
use.
