This lifter offers a variety of pad frame configurations to accommodate different load dimensions
and weights (see illustrations on following page). Configurations are created by positioning,
rotating or removing the pad mounts, and/or by installing or removing pad frame extensions.
Always arrange the vacuum pads in a symmetrical configuration, in both width and length
dimensions.
CAUTION: Minimum of 2 vacuum pads must be mounted on main pad frame.
To prevent lifter damage and to provide adequate load support, a minimum of 2 activated
vacuum pads must be mounted on the main pad frame, regardless of the configuration selected
(see illustrations on following page). It is especially important to observe this rule when pad
frame extensions are employed: The vacuum pads may not be located solely on the extensions,
as such a configuration may not provide adequate load support and may damage the lifter.
The lifter is equipped with a dual vacuum system, as indicated by color-coded vacuum hoses.
For maximum effectiveness, adjacent vacuum pads must be connected to separate circuits of the
vacuum system in an even distribution. Make sure that an equal number of pads is connected to
the green circuit and to the red circuit.
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.
