Step 6
Engaging the clamp:
VERTICAL LIFT
VERTICAL TURN/LIFT
A. Lower the clamp onto the plate with the lever in the “lever open” position until
clamp rests on plate (Fig. 27). Occasionally, a cam may jam against a pad. To
release, either tap the heel of the shackle, or grasp clamp by the shackle and
tap bottom of clamp sharply against floor or other solid surface.
B. Move lever to “lever closed” position while pushing the clamp down to ensure
the plate is inserted to the full depth of the throat (Fig. 28 and 29). The cam is
forced against the plate and you are now ready to lift the plate.
HORIZONTAL LIFT
A. Place the clamp on the plate with the lever in “lever open” position and the
short leg under the plate (Fig. 27). Occasionally, a cam may jam against a pad.
To release, either tap the heel of the shackle, or grasp clamp by the shackle
and tap bottom of clamp sharply against floor or other solid surface.
B. Push the clamp onto the plate until the plate touches the back of the clamp’s
throat and move lever to “lever closed” position (Fig. 28).
C. Ensure that the plate is inserted to the full depth of the plate and the cam is
engaged against the plate. You are now ready to lift the plate (Fig. 29).
Step 7
Lift slowly and smoothly. The operator should stand clear of the load and never lift
over people or machinery.
WARNING!: Do not begin to lift until all personnel are clear of the lift area.
Never stand under or near a member being lifted.
WARNING!: Do not jerk or bump load while lifting.
