CAUTION: Examine each air filter regularly, and empty when necessary.
Two air filters help protect the vacuum generating system from contaminants. However, the
lifter is not intended for use on wet load surfaces because the filters would not prevent liquid
from entering the vacuum system. The operator must examine each filter bowl regularly and
remove any liquid or other contaminants found inside (see MAINTENANCE: A

Positioning the Lifter on the Load
Make certain that the contact surfaces of the load and both vacuum pads are free of any
contaminates that could prevent the pads from sealing against the load (see MAINTENANCE:
V
ACUUM

AD
M
AINTENANCE
). Center the lifter’s pad frame to within 2" [5 cm] of the load center,
since off-center loading can cause the load to tilt unexpectedly (see T
O

and it may also damage the lifter. 4 Make sure that both vacuum pads will fit entirely on the
load’s contact surface (see SPECIFICATIONS: Pad Spread) and that they will be loaded evenly
while lifting (see SPECIFICATIONS: Per-Pad Load Capacity). Then apply the lifter to the load so
that both pads are touching the contact surface.
Sealing the Pads against the Load
Firm pressure at the center of the lifter
helps the vacuum pads begin to seal
against the load. Pull the valve handle
outward until it latches securely in the
“apply” ( ) position (power on), as
shown. This energizes the vacuum
pump, causing air to be drawn at the
pads immediately. The red low vacuum
warning light also turns on and remains illuminated until the lifter attains sufficient vacuum to lift
the maximum load weight (see T
O
L
IFT AND
M
OVE THE
L
OAD
: Load Capacity and the Warning Light
to follow). The valve handle must remain in the “apply” ( ) position throughout the entire lift.
WARNING: Keep valve handle latched securely in “APPLY” position throughout
lift.
Note: If a vacuum pad has been lying against a hard object (as during shipping), it may be
slightly distorted. Although initially it may be difficult to apply the pad to a load, this condition
should correct itself with continued use.

The lifter is designed to handle the maximum load weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity) when the load’s
center of gravity is positioned within 2" [5 cm] of the pad frame’s center point. Occasional loading deviations are permissible,
provided that the operator can maintain control of the load at all times and that the load weight is low enough to avoid damaging
the lifter.
