WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.
The lifter is designed to prevent an accidental load release, which could result from
unintentionally interrupting the apply mode: When the load is at rest and fully supported, press
the enable release button ( ) on the movable control pendant and, at the same time, turn the
apply/release switch to the “release” ( ) position (counter-clockwise) to force air into the
vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold the enable release button and
the apply/release switch until the pads disengage completely from the load.
When the apply/release switch is no longer held in the “release” ( ) position, it automatically
returns to the neutral position (stand-by mode). Do not turn the apply/release switch to the
“apply” ( ) position until the pads are contacting the next load to be lifted. This conserves
battery energy and reduces the time required to apply the pads to the load, by preventing the
vacuum reserve tanks from losing their vacuum.
Alternatively, if the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, press and hold the enable
button on either the radio transmitter or the lifter. While holding the enable button, press a
release button (on the transmitter or on the lifter) to force air into the vacuum pads, quickly
breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold both buttons until the vacuum pads disengage
completely from the load.
If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, a strobe light flashes as long as the
operator is pressing the enable or release buttons. This serves to show the operator when
signals are being transmitted successfully from a remote location and also to warn other
personnel that the operator is suspending the apply function.
WARNING: If vacuum pads do not disengage completely, do not attempt to
move the lifter or load.
The operator must never attempt to move the lifter or load until the vacuum pads are completely
disengaged, as this could cause an unexpected load release and potential injury to the operator
or others. If the vacuum pads do not disengage completely on the first attempt, repeat the
release process. If the load cannot be successfully released for any reason, reapply the vacuum
pads to the load as previously directed (see T

preceding) prior to
moving the lifter or load.
After the load is successfully released, the lifter will automatically activate the stand-by mode to
conserve the battery energy until the lifter is ready to lift another load. Once the stand-by mode
is activated, only the blue power light remains illuminated.
Prior to lifting another load, perform the Every-Lift Inspection as directed in MAINTENANCE:
