Attaching/Sealing the Pads to a Load
Read and understand the equipment manual before use. Review the adjustable telescoping pad shafts procedure prior to attaching the load. Ensure all pad shutoff valves are in the OFF position, then press the Attach button as shown in the video. The video demonstrates when pad valves are turned to the ON position to create vacuum between the pads and the load. Press the pad adjustment button and move the shaft until the pad makes contact with the load. Turn the pad valve to ON to create vacuum and begin sealing. Continue pressing the pad adjustment button until the pad is fully seated against the load. Use the pad adjustment knob for fine adjustments until the pad adjustment button releases. Once all pads are attached, verify that the green lift light is illuminated, indicating sufficient vacuum for lifting. A strobe light indicates a vacuum leak.
Releasing the Pads from the Load
Read and understand the equipment manual before use. This video demonstrates releasing the pads from the load using the radio transmitter. The pads are released by pressing and holding the buttons as shown on the transmitter, including the button labeled Release and the FN button. Always follow manufacturer instructions when operating the controls.
Rotating and Tilting
Read and understand the equipment manual before use. This video demonstrates the rotation and tilt functions using the machine controls. Only one motion, either rotation or tilt, should be operated at a time. Control inputs shown are for demonstration purposes; always follow manufacturer instructions for safe operation.
Moving the Counterweight

Mounting Manipulator to Forklift
Read and understand the entire instruction manual before use. The manipulator is positioned flush against the back of the forklift carriage and lifted a minimal distance off the ground. Fork-securing bolts are tightened to hold the manipulator in place. The manipulator is then secured to the forklift carriage using ratchet straps on the left and right sides. Each strap is attached to the top ratchet strap mount, routed over the back of the forklift carriage, and connected to the bottom ratchet strap mount. The straps are ratcheted until taut to complete the installation.
Extending, Retracting & Shifting
Read and understand the entire instruction manual before use. This video demonstrates extending, retracting, and shifting functions during normal operation. Directional arrows indicate control movement and corresponding equipment motion. Control inputs shown are for demonstration purposes only; always follow manufacturer instructions and operating procedures for proper use.
Attaching to the Load
Read and understand the equipment manual before use. Review the adjustable telescoping pad shafts procedure prior to attaching the load. Ensure all pad shutoff valves are in the OFF position, then press Attach. Examples in the video indicate when pad valves are turned to the ON position to create vacuum between the pads and the load. Press the pad adjustment button and move the shaft until the pad makes contact with the load. Turn the pad valve to the ON position to create vacuum and begin sealing. Continue pressing the pad adjustment button until the pad is fully seated against the load. Use the pad adjustment knob for fine adjustments until the pad adjustment button releases. Once all pads are attached, verify that the green lift light is illuminated, indicating sufficient vacuum for lifting. A strobe light indicates a vacuum leak.
Adjusting Telescoping Pad Shafts
Read and understand the equipment manual before use. The pad adjustment button is used to move the telescoping pad shaft tube for large adjustments. For fine adjustments, the pad adjustment knob may be turned by hand. Once adjusted, the pad will align to match the angle of the load surface as it attaches.
Adjustable Large and Small Telescoping Pad Arms
Large and small telescoping pad arms are adjustable to accommodate different load sizes. Read and understand the equipment manual before use. To extend or shorten the main pad arm, remove the pins located on either side, adjust the arm to the desired length, then reinsert the pins and secure them with hitch pins. The same pad arm includes a quick pin used to extend or shorten the smaller pad arms mounted on each side of the larger arm.
