4) To use the movable control pendant (instead of the optional Remote Control System), insert
the plug of its coiled cord into the controls receptacle on the power system enclosure. Then
secure the connector by tightening its threaded collar.

This lifter offers a variety of pad frame configurations to accommodate different load dimensions
and weights (see illustrations on following page). Configurations are created by positioning or
removing the pad mounts, and/or by installing or removing pad frame extensions. Always
arrange the vacuum pads in a symmetrical configuration, in both width and length dimensions.
CAUTION: Vacuum pads must be mounted on main pad frame at all times.
To prevent lifter damage and to provide adequate load support, 4 activated vacuum pads must
be mounted on the main pad frame, regardless of the configuration selected (see illustrations on
following page). It is especially important to observe this rule when pad frame extensions are
employed: The vacuum pads may not be located solely on the extensions, as such a
configuration would not provide adequate load support.
The lifter is equipped with a dual vacuum system, as indicated by color-coded vacuum hoses.
For maximum effectiveness, adjacent vacuum pads must be connected to separate circuits of the
vacuum system in an even distribution. Make sure that an equal number of pads is connected to
the green circuit and to the red circuit.
After changing the pad frame configuration, make sure all vacuum hoses are secure and routed
to avoid being pinched, snagged, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in operation.
Also be sure to verify that all pads are connected and functioning correctly.
