If the lifter is equipped with VPFS10T vacuum pads, follow these directions:
1) Remove the old sealing ring insert: Hold the vacuum pad firmly and pull the ring insert out
from the mounting groove. Discard any damaged ring insert.
2) Install a new sealing ring insert (see REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST): Push the ring insert into
the mounting groove so that the insert's base (flat side) fits flush against the bottom of the
groove. Begin by placing the inside edge of the ring insert against the inside edge of the
mounting groove. Then push gently and firmly on the outside edge of the ring insert until it
seats completely into the mounting groove. A pad ring installation tool is available to
facilitate this process (see REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST). Work your way around the entire
ring insert, repeating this process until the entire ring is seated in the mounting groove.
3) Make sure that the sealing ring is secure and fully inserted into the mounting groove around
the entire perimeter of the vacuum pad.
Note: If the ring insert ever comes partially or entirely out of the mounting groove, inspect the
ring insert for damage and reinstall an undamaged ring insert according to preceding directions.
