The device is operated always by two persons. The workplace of the operators is in
front of the control handles.
Stand so that you can constantly observe the vacuum gauge.
As an operator of the lifting device, you must be trained before you start to use the
device. You must have read and understood the operating instructions and especially
the chapter "Safety".
Ensure that only authorised persons use the device. You are responsible for others in
the operating range of the equipment.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. The safety instructions in this document
complement these local regulations and do not supersede them.
When operating the device always wear:
safety shoes (with steel toecaps),
tough gloves.
An emergency situation exists when
power suddenly fails (device switches off),
the vacuum pressure drops in the red danger zone on the scale of the vacuum
gauge.
Lower the load immediately if possible. If this is not possible, immediately leave the
dangerous area near the load, since it will be dropped from the device.
The lifting device is equipped with following safety device:
vacuum gauge with red danger zone
Check this device at the beginning of each shift (when operating in shifts) or once a
week (when operating continually).
Switch on the lifting device.
Place the lifting device on a flat floor and apply vacuum.
When the vacuum has built up, the pointer of the vacuum gauge must reach a vacuum
of at least -0,2 bar.
Inspect the air filter at least once per week and clean it (by blowing out the dirt) as
necessary.
If the air filter is dirty, the manometer will show a higher value than is actually available
at the suction plates.
The air filter must therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly in order to maintain
the operational safety of the device.
Correct any faults before using the device.
If faults occur during operation, switch the device off and correct the faults before
continuing work with the
device.
