Fundamental Safety Instructions

2 Fundamental Safety Instructions

2.1 Intended use

The vacuum attachment SH-2500-UNI-GL is used to lift, transport and vertically rotate airtight concrete elements such as
natural stone, concrete, and marble slabs; steps; pipes; etc. at low heights.
The lifting device must be attached with a support rope or a chain to a suitable support device (crane, construction vehi-
cle, etc.).
The suction surfaces of the load to be lifted must be airtight – that is, when the vacuum supply is switched off, the load
being gripped must be held for another five minutes. You may need to verify this by performing multiple lifting tests.
The loads to be lifted must be rigid enough to ensure they are not destroyed during lifting.
The suction plate is not included in delivery. The user must ensure that only suction plates suitable for the load to be
lifted are used. It must be designed to be mounted to the lifting device.
The maximum lift capacity must not be exceeded (> See ch. Technical data). The maximum permitted load depends on
the suction plate used (see the lift capacity plate on the suction plate).
The lifting device is built in accordance with the latest standards of technology and is delivered in a safe operating condi-
tion; however, hazards may arise during use.

2.2 Non-Intended Use

Probst accepts no liability for damage caused by the use of the lifting device for purposes other than those described
under Intended Use. The use of the lifting device for loads that are not specified in the order confirmation or that have
different physical properties than those specified in the order confirmation shall be considered non-intended use. In par-
ticular, the following are considered non-intended use:
• Use as a climbing aid.
• Lifting people or animals.
• Storing loads while picked up.
• Picking up building components, equipment or supporting surfaces.
• Picking up liquids or bulk materials (e.g. granulate).
• Evacuating objects that are in danger of imploding.
• Attachment of loads using ropes, chains or similar

2.3 Danger Zone

Persons in the danger zone of the lifting device may suffer life-threatening injuries.
• Ensure that no unauthorized persons are present in the danger zone.
• Ensure that collisions with the surrounding environment and objects are avoided to prevent the load from breaking
off.
The danger zone of the lifting device includes the following areas:
• The area directly below the lifting device and load.
• The area immediately surrounding the lifting device and load.
• The working area of the transport device used.

2.4 Hazards during Operation

CAUTION
Risk of injury due to exposed suction points and compressed air lines
Do not place eyes, ears or hands into suction points and compressed air lines.
