The lifter can accommodate various load dimensions, depending on the position of the sliding
pad arms and movable pad mounts on the pad frame (see illustration in OPERATING FEATURES).
Move the pad arms and pad mounts inward or outward on the pad frame as needed to provide
adequate support across the load surface. The vacuum pads must be arranged symmetrically, to
keep the lifter balanced.
WARNING: Make sure all vacuum hoses are coiled or routed so they do not
become entangled, kinked or punctured.
To position a pad arm, remove the cotterless hitch pin from the arm’s sliding mount. While
making sure the vacuum hose does not get pinched, slide the arm to the desired position and
align the holes for the pin. Push the pin through the holes until the retaining ball emerges on the
far side of the arm mount. On the opposite end of the
pad frame, position the second sliding pad arm at an
equal distance from the center of the lifter.
To position each set of vacuum pads on a pad arm,
remove the cotterless hitch pins from the pad mounts,
move the pads inward or outward equal distances on the
pad arm, and secure them with the cotterless hitch pins.
Before applying the vacuum pads to a load, make sure
that all vacuum hoses are properly connected and will
not interfere with lifter operation.

the “ON” position, to engage the vacuum pump. The lifter is designed for the vacuum pump to
run continuously.
WARNING: Never place air supply valve in "OFF" position while operating lifter;
keep pump running throughout lift.
The supply valve must remain in the “ON” position while operating the lifter. Any interruption of
the vacuum flow during lifter operation could result in the release of the load and possible injury
