Make sure the contact surfaces of the load and vacuum pads are clean (see 
“Pad Cleaning” on page 36).

Positioning the Lifter on the Load

1)  

1A

Center the pad frame on 

the load (fig. 1A).

1

  

2)  

2A

Make sure all vacuum pads 

will fit on the load and will 
be loaded evenly (fig. 2A).

Consult the Per-Pad 
Load Capacity.

3)  Place the vacuum pads in 

contact with the load 
surface.

1..... The lifter is designed to handle the maximum load weight when the load’s center of gravity is positioned within 2" [5 cm] of the lifter’s rotation 

axis.  Uncentered loads may rotate or tilt unexpectedly.
