vacuum pads.
When the load is at rest and fully supported, move the lever on the vacuum
control valve to the “RELEASE” position to force air into the vacuum pads,
quickly breaking the vacuum seal.

Leave the lever on the vacuum control valve in the “RELEASE” position and place the power
switch in the “OFF” position.
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the
vacuum pads.
Built-in parking feet can be used to support an unloaded lifter when not suspended from a crane:
Make sure the pad frame is oriented vertically with the parking feet at the bottom. Use the
hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter until the parking feet support its entire weight.
Make sure the lifter leans securely against an appropriate support; then detach the hoisting
equipment hook from the lift bail.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the
lifter so as to protect the vacuum pads and all other components from damage while in transit.
Storing the Lifter
Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean.
!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively
horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the
pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Then lower the lift bar to a horizontal
orientation and place a support under the lift bail.
