The lifter can accommodate various load dimensions, depending on the position of the movable

pad mounts on the pad frame. Move the pad mounts inward or outward on the pad frame as
needed to provide adequate support across the load surface. The pad mounts must be arranged
symmetrically, to keep the lifter balanced.

WARNING: Make sure vacuum hoses are coiled or routed so they do not become

entangled, kinked or punctured.

To position a pad mount, use the pull ring to remove the cotterless

hitch pin from the pad frame. While making sure the vacuum hose
does not get pinched, move the pad mount to the desired position
and align the holes for the pin. Push the pin through the holes

until the retaining ball emerges on the far side of the mount. On
the opposite end of the pad frame, position the corresponding pad
mount at an equal distance from the center of the lifter. Before applying the vacuum pads to a

load, make sure that all vacuum hoses are routed correctly and will not interfere with lifter
operation.

The supply valve must remain in the “ON” position while operating the lifter. Any interruption of
