1) Remove the cotterless hitch pin from a Removable Pad Arm by

pulling on the pull ring.

2) Insert the end of the pad arm in one socket on the pad frame,

so that the vacuum pad faces in the correct direction and the
holes align for the cotterless hitch pin.

3) Secure the pad arm in the pad frame by pushing the cotterless

hitch pin through the holes until the retaining ball emerges on the far side of the pad frame
socket.

4) Remove the end of the quick connector from the spring clip on the pad frame (if applicable),

and connect the vacuum line (see To Connect/Disconnect Vacuum Lines preceding).

5) Repeat steps 1-4 to install other pad arms as needed. Always install pad arms in a

symmetrical arrangement, and make sure that all vacuum lines are functioning correctly. If

any pad arm is not installed on the pad frame, see the preceding ASSEMBLY discussion to
determine the lifting capacity.

1) Disconnect the appropriate vacuum line (see To Connect/Disconnect Vacuum Lines

preceding), and clip the free end of the quick connector to the spring clip on the pad frame (if
applicable), so that the free vacuum hose will not interfere with lifter operation.

2) Remove the cotterless hitch pin from the pad frame by pulling on the pull ring.
3) Remove the Removable Pad Arm from its socket on the pad frame, and reinsert the cotterless

hitch pin in the pad arm for safe-keeping.

4) Repeat steps 1-3 to remove other pad arms as needed. Always remove pad arms so as to

maintain a symmetrical arrangement of the pad frame. Store removed pad arms in a clean,
dry location to protect them from environmental exposure.

WARNING: Removing any pad arm reduces lifting capacity.

See the preceding ASSEMBLY discussion to determine the lifting capacity when any pad arm is

removed from the pad frame.

OPERATION

Before applying the vacuum lifter to a load, make sure that all vacuum pads will fit entirely on

the load's contact surface and that they will be loaded evenly while lifting. After confirming that
Removable Pad Arms are configured to optimize the lifting capacity and pad spread for the load,
operate the lifter as directed in the OPERATION section of the lifter's instruction manual.
