This lifter offers a variety of pad frame configurations to accommodate different load dimensions
and weights (see illustrations). Configurations are created by installing or removing the pad
frame’s outer, removable sections and removable pad arms, and/or by rotating the pad frame’s
rotating pad arms. Some configurations also require the lift bar extension to be installed (see To
Install the Lift Bar Extension to follow).
Note: The dual vacuum system has 2 air-line circuits, identified by color-coded vacuum hoses.
To ensure maximum effectiveness of the dual vacuum system, the quantity of vacuum pads
connected to either circuit must be equal in number; and the vacuum pads must be connected in
an alternating pattern, so that adjacent pads are connected to different circuits.
Always arrange the vacuum pads in a symmetrical configuration, in both horizontal and vertical
dimensions. After changing the pad frame configuration, make sure all vacuum hoses are secure
and routed to avoid being pinched, snagged, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in
operation. Also be sure to verify that all pads are connected and functioning correctly.
