preceding). Then install another extension arm in the socket on the opposite side of the
lifter's pad frame. Consult the configuration illustration on the preceding page for correct
orientation of the extension arms.
3) Attach the hoisting equipment hook to the center spool of the lift spool assembly.

not, attach a sling with adequate capacity rating between the hook and the lift spool.
WARNING: Any sling used must be rated to carry maximum load weight plus
lifter weight.
4) Use a clevis pin to attach a short sling to one extension arm, and secure it with a hairpin.
Then repeat this step for the other extension arm.
5) Suspend the lifter from a crane as directed in the ASSEMBLY section of the lifter's instruction
manual.
