Rev 10.0/9-13 8 MRTA8-DC: #35076

Configurations are created by installing or removing the pad frame’s extension arms, by

repositioning or removing the movable pad mounts, and by connecting or disconnecting the

vacuum hoses to certain vacuum pads. Always assemble the pad frame in a symmetrical

arrangement, to keep the lifter balanced (see illustrations).

To support the maximum load weight, all vacuum pads must be installed on the pad frame and

all vacuum hoses must be connected to the vacuum pads. To support the largest load

dimensions, all extension arms must also be installed on the pad frame. To support smaller

weights and dimensions, some extension arms or vacuum pads may be removed, and the

corresponding vacuum hoses may be disconnected,

provided that the lifter still has

sufficient capacity to support the load in question

WARNING: Removing or disconnecting any vacuum pad reduces lifter's load

capacity.

To calculate the load capacity when some vacuum pads are disconnected, consult the Per-Pad

Load Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS) and multiply by the number of pads currently in use (see

To Reposition [or Remove] Movable Pad Mounts to follow). Make sure all vacuum hoses are

secure and routed to avoid being pinched, snagged, abraded or otherwise damaged while the

lifter is in operation.

WARNING: Make sure all vacuum hoses are coiled or routed so they cannot

become entangled, kinked or punctured during rotation or tilt.

Note: Whenever a vacuum hose is disconnected from the vacuum system, the corresponding

vacuum pad does not contribute to the load capacity, whether or not the pad is mounted on the

pad frame.

To Connect/Disconnect Vacuum Hoses

The vacuum hose for each vacuum pad is connected to or

disconnected from the vacuum system by means of a quick

connector. To connect the vacuum hose, push the male and

female ends of the connector together until they lock. To

disconnect the vacuum hose, move the release ring on the

female end until the connector separates.

WARNING: Make sure vacuum hoses are coiled or

routed to avoid damage during rotation or tilt.

Make sure all vacuum hoses are secure and routed to avoid being punctured, pinched, kinked,

entangled, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in operation.
