Two pad frame configurations enable the lifter to match different load dimensions and weights.
The illustrations on the preceding page show both approved configurations. Pad Spread and
Maximum Load Capacities are listed for a standard MRTALPCH611LDC3 lifter (see
“SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 for other models).
Use only these pad
frame configurations.
Caution:
Connect the vacuum pads to the circuits of the dual vacuum system, marked “1” and
“2” in the preceding illustrations (see “Routing Vacuum Hoses” on page 11 and “Connecting/
Disconnecting Vacuum Hoses” on page 12).
Choose a configuration to maximize support across the load
surface and to minimize load overhang (see “L
• To support the maximum load weight and longer dimensions, both pad frame extensions
must be installed on the pad frame and the vacuum hoses for the corresponding vacuum
pads must be connected, using the quick connectors (see “Routing Vacuum Hoses” on
page 11).
•
Removing or disconnecting any
vacuum pad reduces lifting capacity.
Either install both extensions or
remove both to keep lifter balanced.
To support smaller weights and
dimensions, both pad frame extensions
may be removed, and the
corresponding vacuum hoses may be
disconnected,
provided the lifter still
has sufficient capacity to support the
load in question
.

Installing/Removing Pad Frame Extensions
1) Set the lifter with the vacuum pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface.
2)
2A
2B
Insert the tabs on one pad frame
extension between the rails of
the pad frame (figs. 2A-B).
Note: The pad frame extension
with a control handle should be
installed on the lower end of the
pad frame when oriented
vertically (see relevant illustration under “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 4).
1..... Whenever a quick connector is disconnected, the corresponding vacuum pad does not contribute to the lifting capacity, whether or not the pad
is mounted on the pad frame.
