Each pad shutoff on the pad frame controls the vacuum line to the adjacent vacuum pad.
Activating or deactivating the airflow at specific pads enables the lifter to handle loads with
different weights and dimensions (see “SPECIFICATIONS”) or to avoid holes in the load surface.
Closing any pad shutoff
reduces lifting capacity.
To support the maximum load weight and larger load
dimensions, all pads must be activated; for smaller weights
and dimensions, some pads may be deactivated,
provided
that the lifter still has sufficient capacity to support the
load
).

To activate a pad,
open the shutoff
valve (ie, place
lever
parallel
with
vacuum line —
fig. 1A).
To deactivate a
pad, close the
shutoff valve (ie,
place lever
perpendicular
to
vacuum line —
fig. 1B).
To calculate the lifting capacity when some pads are deactivated, consult the Per-Pad Load
Capacity and multiply by the number of pads currently activated. Always activate pads in
a symmetrical configuration and use as many pads as possible for each load being lifted, to
maximize lifting capacity and to minimize load overhang.
