1) Remove the cotterless hitch pin from a Telescoping/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 T

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.

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.

3) Remove the Telescoping/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.
