Leave the apply/release switch in the neutral position and place the power switch in the “off” ( )
position (power light shuts off when power is disengaged).
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the
vacuum pads.
To remove the lifter from the hoisting equipment, place stable supports under the center of the
pad frame. Additional supports may be placed under the pad frame extensions for stability. Use
the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter until the supports are holding its entire weight.
Make sure the lifter is stable; then detach the hoisting equipment hook from the lift bail.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the
lifter so as to protect the vacuum pads and all other components from damage while in transit.
Storing the Lifter
Charge the battery completely when placing it in storage and at six-month intervals thereafter
(see MAINTENANCE: B
ATTERY

ECHARGE
). After charging the battery, open the power system
enclosure and disconnect the electrical connector uniting the battery charger and the battery, in
order to prevent power drainage. Disconnecting the battery from the vacuum generating system
is also recommended.
Preferred temperatures for storing the battery are 32° to 70° Fahrenheit
[0° to 21° Celsius]. Higher temperatures require the battery to be charged more frequently.
Storage at temperatures above 100° Fahrenheit [38° Celsius] should be avoided.

1) Remove the old sealing ring insert: Hold the vacuum pad firmly and pull the ring insert out
from the mounting groove. Discard any damaged ring insert.
2) Install a new sealing ring insert (see REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST): Make sure the entire
vacuum pad is clean, including the mounting groove (see Vacuum Pad Maintenance: Pad
Cleaning preceding). Push the ring insert into the mounting groove so that the insert's base
(flat side) fits flush against the bottom of the groove. Begin by placing the inside edge of the
ring insert against the inside edge of the mounting groove. Then push gently and firmly on
the outside edge of the ring insert until it seats completely into the mounting groove. A pad
ring installation tool is available to facilitate this process (see REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST).
Work your way around the entire ring insert, repeating this process until the entire ring is
seated in the mounting groove.
3) Make sure that the sealing ring is secure and fully inserted into the mounting groove around
the entire perimeter of the vacuum pad.
Note: If the ring insert ever comes partially or entirely out of the mounting groove, inspect the
ring insert for damage and reinstall an undamaged ring insert according to preceding directions.
