ABOUT THE OPTIONAL ENABLE SWITCH AND STROBE LIGHT

If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, there are 2 enable switches: a rotary

switch on the radio transmitter, as well as a push-button switch on the lifter (see OPERATING

FEATURES). To actuate the enable switch on the lifter, simply press the enable button. To

actuate the enable switch on the optional radio transmitter, rotate the transmitter power/enable

switch beyond the “ON” position to the “START” position.

A strobe light flashes as long as the operator is actuating the enable or release controls. 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.

TO RELEASE THE PADS FROM THE LOAD

WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.

Make sure the load is at rest and fully supported. Then turn the apply/release switch on the

movable control pendant to the “RELEASE” position (counter-clockwise) to force air into the

vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold the apply/release switch in

this position 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 tank from losing its vacuum.

Alternatively, if the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, actuate and hold the enable

switch on the radio transmitter or the enable button on the lifter, causing the strobe light to flash

(see ABOUT THE OPTIONAL ENABLE SWITCH AND STROBE LIGHT preceding). While holding the enable

switch, press a release button (on the optional transmitter or on the lifter) to force air into the

vacuum pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal. Continue to hold both controls until the vacuum

pads disengage completely from the load.

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 TO APPLY THE PADS TO A LOAD 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:

INSPECTION SCHEDULE.

The radio transmitter must be activated before the enable function can be used (see TO APPLY THE PADS TO A LOAD: Powering Up

the Lifter).
