WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.
Make sure the load is at rest and fully supported. Then turn the “attach/release” switch on the
movable control pendant to the “release” ( ) position (counter-clockwise) to force air into the
vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold the “attach/release” switch in
this position until the pads disengage completely from the load.
When the “attach/release” switch is no longer held in the “release” ( ) position, it automatically
returns to the neutral position (stand-by mode). Do not turn the “attach/release” switch to the
“attach” ( ) position until the pads are contacting the next load to be lifted. This conserves
battery energy and reduces the time required to attach the pads to the load, by preventing the
vacuum reserve tank from losing its vacuum.
Alternatively, if the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, press and hold the “enable”
button ( ) and the “release” button ( ) on the radio transmitter to force air into the vacuum
pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal.

Continue to hold both buttons until the vacuum pads
disengage completely from the load.
Note: If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, the strobe light flashes as long as
the operator is pressing the “enable” or “release” buttons. This shows the operator when signals
are being transmitted successfully from a remote location and warns others that the operator is
preparing to release the load.
WARNING: If vacuum pads do not disengage completely, do not attempt to
move the lifter or load.
The operator must never attempt to move the lifter or load until the vacuum pads are completely
disengaged, as this could cause an unexpected load release and injury to the operator or others.
If the vacuum pads do not disengage completely on the first attempt, repeat the release process.
If the load cannot be successfully released for any reason, reattach the vacuum pads to the load
as previously directed (see T

preceding) prior to moving the lifter or
load.
After the load is successfully released, the lifter will automatically activate the stand-by mode to
conserve the battery energy until the lifter is ready to lift another load. Once the stand-by mode
is activated, only the blue power light remains illuminated.
Prior to lifting another load, perform the Every-Lift Inspection as directed in MAINTENANCE:
