Leave the apply/release switch in the neutral position and place the power switch in the OFF
position ( ). The blue indicator light shuts off when the operator powers down the lifter. If the
lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, also turn off the radio transmitter.
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage the
vacuum pads.
Use the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter onto a stable support; then detach the
hoisting equipment hook from the lift spool.
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
Use the covers supplied to keep the vacuum pads clean.
!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively
horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with the
pads facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Then lower the lift bar to a horizontal
orientation and place a support under the lift spool.
Charge the battery completely when placing it in storage and at six-month intervals thereafter

). After charging the battery, disconnect the electrical
connectors for the battery (on top of main enclosure) and for the battery charger (on side of
main enclosure), in order to minimize power drainage. 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.
