SPECIFICATIONS Model Number: CF13CEO Description: When Pad Frame T-Arm Assemblies are installed, this option enables a vacuum lifter to handle cladding and textured materials with various profiles and dimensions.
Model Numbers: CF14CEO and CF15CEO Descriptions: When a Pad Frame Extension Kit (CF14CEO) is employed on an MRTALP-DC vacuum lifter, this option enables it to install composite roof panels or to handle other long load materials in the flat orientation.4 When Pad Frame Rocker Arms (CF15CEO) are also employed on an MRTALP-DC vacuum lifter, this option enables it to handle loads in the flat orientation with increased weight and length.
WARNINGS Powr-Grip is pleased to offer the most reliable materials handling products available. Despite the high degree of security provided these optional vacuum lifter components, certain precautions must be observed to protect the user and others. Always wear personal protective equipment that is appropriate for the material being handled. Follow trade association guidelines. Always use optional components under conditions approved for the design of the vacuum lifter (see lifter's instruction manual).

ASSEMBLY TO EMPLOY PAD FRAME T-ARM ASSEMBLIES (CF13CEO) MRTALP-DC shown with Pad Frame T-Arm Assemblies and VPFS625 pads. Assemble the vacuum lifter as directed in the lifter's instruction manual. However, instead of standard extension arms and vacuum pads, install the 2 Pad Frame T-Arm Assemblies with all 4 vacuum pads and connect all the vacuum hoses, as directed in the following sections. Note: Use only 2 pads on each T-arm.
system, the vacuum pads must be connected in an equal and alternating distribution to the 2 circuits. 5) Repeat steps #1-4 to install the second T-arm assembly, as shown in the preceding illustration. 6) To remove T-arm assemblies, reverse this procedure. Store removed T-arm assemblies in a clean, dry location to protect them from environmental exposure. Set the vacuum pads facing upward, because prolonged pressure against the foam rubber seals may cause them to become distorted.
arrange the vacuum pads in a symmetrical configuration about the MRTALP-DC's main pad frame, in both width and length dimensions. To prevent lifter damage when the extension kit or rocker arms are used, always use the lift spool assembly and slings regardless of the configuration selected. After changing the pad frame configuration, make sure all vacuum hoses are secure and routed to avoid being pinched, snagged, abraded or otherwise damaged while the lifter is in operation.
MRTALP-DC shown with Extension Kit (incl. slings, shackles & lift spool assembly), Rocker Arms, and 2 sets of T-Arm Assemblies with VPFS625 vacuum pads. Installing Extension Kit and Rocker Arms 1) Remove any pad frame extensions from the MRTALP-DC vacuum lifter in similar way to that described for the T-arm assemblies (see TO EMPLOY PAD FRAME T-ARM ASSEMBLIES: Installing/Removing T-Arm Assemblies preceding).
OPERATION BEFORE USING THE LIFTER Consult the vacuum lifter's instruction manual to determine all safety precautions, inspections, tests and other preparations which must be completed prior to using the vacuum lifter. WARNING: T-arm assemblies may reduce lifter's Load Capacity.
Be sure to adjust the position of vacuum pads so as to optimize load support and minimize load overhang for the intended use. Pads must be arranged symmetrically, to keep the lifter balanced. Make sure that all pads will fit entirely on the contact surface of the load and that they will be loaded evenly while lifting (see Maximum Per-Pad Load Capacity in SPECIFICATIONS).
