MOVABLE PAD MOUNTS

S

PECIFICATIONS

Model Number: CM2SCM
Function:

Movable pad mounts enable the lifter to handle loads of various dimensions

(see SPECIFICATIONS: Pad Spread in main instructions).

O

PERATION

Before applying the vacuum lifter to a load, position the vacuum pads in an arrangement that

corresponds to the load dimensions: Move the pad mounts inward or outward on the pad frame
as needed to provide adequate support across the load surface. Pads must be arranged
symmetrically, to keep the lifter balanced. Make sure that all pads will fit entirely on the contact

surface and will be loaded evenly while lifting (see SPECIFICATIONS: Pad Spread and Per-Pad
Load Capacity in main instructions). After confirming that pads are positioned to support the
load correctly, operate the lifter as directed in the OPERATION section of the main instructions.
Note: The pad frame may extend beyond the edges of smaller loads. When moving such loads,
be careful to avoid any obstacles to the pad frame, as well as to the load.

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

become entangled, kinked or punctured while operating lifter.

To Position Pads

1) Remove the cotterless hitch pin from one pad mount by pulling

on the pull ring.

2) Move the pad mount to the desired position and align the holes

for the cotterless hitch pin in the pad mount with the
corresponding holes in the pad frame.

3) Secure the pad mount by pushing the cotterless hitch pin through

the holes until the retaining ball emerges on the far side of the pad mount.

4) Make sure that the vacuum hose serving the pad is not pinched, kinked, cut or abraded and

that it will not interfere with lifter operations.

5) Repeat steps #1-4 to position other pad mounts as needed. Always position pads in a

symmetrical arrangement, and make sure that all vacuum lines are functioning correctly.
