  • Page 6: Definitions

    3. Definitions 3. Definitions Stak Jaks lift evenly almost over the entire surface during inflation and thanks to their construction, also maintain the shape and size of the bearing surface Bearing surface is the surface of the Stak Jak in contact with the load or the object to be lifted Controller is a device that supplies, empties and monitors the filling procedure with the air.

  • Page 7: Safety Precautions Before Use

    If the Stak Jak is stored vertically (upright) it is recommended fixing it to a surface (e.g. a wall) to protect against bending. The inflation connector should face upwards and be covered by the protective cap� It is recommended that Stak Jaks are stored in their original packaging to minimise various environmental influences on the product during storage.

  • Page 8: Carrying The Stak Jak

    • Inflate the Stak Jak until a required or maximum height, or maximum working pressure is reached. • Improper use of Stak Jaks should be avoided. MFC International Ltd assumes no responsibility for damage resulting from improper use of the product. •...

  • Page 9: System For Stak Jak Inflation

    5.3. SYSTEM FOR STAK JAK INFLATION • Stak Jaks are to be infl ated solely with air, other gases should not be used. Controllers with built-in safety valves should be used for infl ation of Stak Jaks. • Never infl ate a Stak Jak without a load to more than 1 bar pressure. •...
  • Page 10 Step 1: Position the Stak Jaks Position the Stak Jak in a defi ned and previously prepared location. Follow the rules defi ned in sections 5.1 and 5.2. Use mechanical supports for load stabilization. Fig 5�2 Step 2: Connect outlet hoses to Stak Jak Outlet hoses are of diff erent colour to prevent confusion during use.
  • Page 11 Step 4.1: Remove the safety plug from the compressed-air cylinder Before removing the safety plug, check if the valve on the cylinder is shut-off ; to shut-off the valve turn it clockwise� Unscrew the safety plug and keep it in a safe place�...
  • Page 12 Step 4.4: Set the pressure regulator to the required value Open the valve on the cylinder. Unscrew it completely then turn back by half a turn� The pressure gauge should indicate a value of 200 or 300 bar depending on cylinder capacity. The required working pressure is set by turning the adjusting valve.

  • Page 13: Working With The Controllers

    5.3.2. WORKING WITH THE CONTROLLERS Always monitor the pressure on the respective pressure gauge, the behaviour of the Stak Jaks and the load during inflation. If the maximum pressure is exceeded the safety valve on the controller activates and relieves the pressure from the Stak Jak�...
  • Page 14 Step 6: Dismount the pressure regulator Unscrew the locking nut on the pressure regulator and detach the regulator from the compressed- air cylinder, see Fig 5.7. Step 7: Attach the safety plug on the compressed-air cylinder, see Fig 5.5. Step 8: Disconnect the outlet hoses from the controller by pushing the hose connector towards the controller.

  • Page 15: Lifting Procedure

    5.4. LIFTING PROCEDURE Before starting work, check the location where the Stak Jak is to be positioned. Remove any sharp objects such as glass fragments or other foreign particles to avoid damaging the Stak Jak. Never lift with a Stak Jak that is in contact with any sharp metal edges, nails, screws or similar that may puncture, abrade or otherwise damage the Stak Jak.

  • Page 16: Lifting With A Single Stak Jak

    5.4.1. LIFTING WITH A SINGLE STAK JAK If only one Stak Jak is available and the gap between the ground and the object to be lifted exceeds 70mm, build a firm and sufficiently high support to a point that just allows enough space to insert an uninflated Stak Jak.

  • Page 17: Lifting With Several Stak Jaks, Increasing The Lifting Capacity

    5.4.2. LIFTING WITH SEVERAL STAK JAKS, INCREASING THE LIFTING CAPACITY Lifting capacity can be increased by positioning two Stak Jaks side by side and simultaneously inflating, see Fig 5.18. The new capacity is double that of a single Stak Jak. Example: The capacity of combined Stak Jaks KSM17 and KSM17 side by side and simultaneously inflated amounts to 34 t, i.e.

  • Page 18: Lifting Using Two Or Three Stak Jaks

    5.4.2.1 LIFTING USING TWO OR THREE STAK JAKS A MAXIMUM of THREE Stak Jaks may be combined to increase lifting height. If lifting with two or three Stak Jaks to achieve a higher lift, only use Stak Jaks of the same dimensions. When combining Stak Jaks to increase lifting height, place the Stak Jaks on top of each other and make sure that all connectors are facing forwards, see Fig 5.20.

  • Page 19: Lifting Loads Of Unusual Shape

    5.4.3. LIFTING LOADS OF UNUSUAL SHAPE 5.4.3.1. LIFTING OF PIPES AND PROFILES A problem arises when the load does not rest over the entire lifting surface of the Stak Jak. Moreover, the Stak Jak may become damaged if it bends or is overloaded with angular, jagged or sharp-edged loads.

  • Page 20: Using A Stak Jak To Separate Or Move An Object

    5.4.3.3. USING A STAK JAK TO SEPARATE OR MOVE AN OBJECT Stak Jaks can be used for separating and moving objects horizontally. Position one face of the Stak Jak against a bar, a pillar or another firm and rigid object; position the opposite face against the object to be moved.
