3) Make sure that all vacuum pads will fit on the load (see
SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Pad Spread) and that the pads
will be loaded evenly (see SPECIFICATIONS: Per-Pad
Load Capacity).
4) Apply the lifter to the load so that all vacuum pads are
touching the contact surface.

The lifter is designed to handle the maximum load weight (see SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Load Capacity) when the load’s
center of gravity is positioned within 2" [5 cm] of the lifter’s rotation axis. Occasional loading deviations are permissible, provided
that the operator can maintain control of the load at all times and that the load weight is low enough to avoid damaging the lifter.
