To properly lift plates and assemblies using a lift bar, do the following:
NOTE:
For the installation locations of the lift bars, refer to the hot runner for the markings “Lift Bar Only”
or to the assembly drawings.
NOTE:
The maximum weight the bar can lift is stamped on the Husky lift bar. If using a lift bar that is not
provided by Husky, make sure the lift bar is suitably rated for the weight of the mold/hot runner
assembly.
