DSKZL2-12V Foreword Foreword These operating instructions are intended to help you become familiar with the DSKZL2-12V and to use it as intended. These operating instructions contain important instructions about operating the DSKZL2-12V safely, effectively, and economically. Observing them helps to avoid repair costs and down time and to increase the reliability and working life of the DSKZL2-12V.
DSKZL2-12V Technical Description Technical Description The DSKZL2-12V is a combination of two vacuum pumps with power supply (battery or mains, including charger) and a vacuum cross arm with two vacuum circuits working independently from each other. This vacuum cross arm is intended for flexible use on construction sites, anywhere where no 220 to 240 volt connection is available.
Page 6
DSKZL2-12V Technical Description The charging circuit voltage for the charger is 220-240 volt AC (50/60 Hz). Two vacuum pumps are used to generate the vacuum (one vacuum pump per vacuum circuit). The vacuum pumps work without oil lubrication and are therefore maintenance-free.
DSKZL2-12V Safety information Basic safety information Warning instructions and symbols The following terms and symbols are used in the operator’s manual for especially important information: Note Special information regarding the economical use of the device Caution Special information regarding requirements and prohibitions for preventing damage.
DSKZL2-12V Safety information Organisational measures Always keep the operating instructions within reach at the site of use. In addition to the operating instructions please observe and teach any other generally applicable statutory regulations concerning accident prevention. Such obligations can also include providing and wearing personal protective equipment.
DSKZL2-12V Safety information Personnel selection and qualification Work on/with the machine may only be performed by reliable personnel. The legal minimum working age should be observed. Use only trained or instructed personnel; responsibilities among personnel should be clearly established for operation, equipping, maintenance, and repair. Ensure that only authorised personnel works on the machine.
DSKZL2-12V Safety information Special work The setting, maintenance, inspection activities and deadlines, including information on replacement of parts and modules stipulated in these operating instructions must be observed. These activities may only be performed by authorised specialists. Only perform maintenance and repair work when the machine is positioned on flat ground with sufficient bearing capacity and is secured so that it cannot roll away or collapse.
DSKZL2-12V Assembly Commissioning Note Do not store the DSKZL2-12V in a damp or very cold (frost) environment. Otherwise there is no guarantee that the installed pumps will function properly. Caution Always ensure that the suckers are not placed on sharp edges because this could damage the sucker lips.
DSKZL2-12V Assembly Charging the battery Check the DSKZL2-12V for any externally recognisable damages or flaws. Compare the connection on the power supply network and check the voltage, current and mechanical connection (plug connection) with the necessary data for the vacuum pumps.

DSMH2-12V Assembly Before transporting Check the DSKZL2-12V for any externally recognisable damage or flaws. Attach the DSKZL2-12V to the crane hook or similar. Set the two manually operated suction/release valves to the RELEASE position. Switch the device on using the main switch. The yellow control lamp ON signalises that the pumps are ready for operation.
DSKZL2-12V Operation Operation Note Do not store the DSKZL2-12V unit in a damp or very cold (frost) environment. Otherwise there is no guarantee that the installed pumps will function properly. Caution Always ensure that the suckers are not placed on sharp edges because this could damage the sucker lips.
DSKZL2-12V Operation Switching on Set the two manually operated suction/release valves to the RELEASE position. Switch the device on using the main switch. The yellow control lamp ON signalises that the pumps are ready for operation. The pumps must start up if the vacuum in the vacuum tank is insufficient. After a short time, a vacuum of -0.65 bar should have formed in each tank.
DSKZL2-12V Operation Working Cycle The surface must be absolutely free of dust, rust particles, water and similar Clean the surface with glass-cleaner, detergent or similar. If it is necessary to clean the goods to be transported, use a fat solvent that evaporates without any residue, such as Nitro or brake-cleaner.
Page 19
DSKZL2-12V Operation Check that all suckers on the surface are clean and have full contact and, if necessary, press on or align a sucker that is not making contact until it is in the correct position. If this is not done, a vacuum cannot build up and the DSKZL2-12V can therefore not lift the material.
DSKZL2-12V Operation Switching off After completing the transport work, switch the device off in order not to drain the battery unnecessarily. Charging the battery Check the DSKZL2-12V for any externally recognisable damage or flaws. Compare the connection on the power supply network with regard to voltage, current, and mechanical connection (plug connection) with the necessary data for the vacuum pumps: If they do not correspond, the machine may not be operated.
DSKZL2-12V Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Pumps no longer perform correctly The machine no longer reaches -0.72 bar vacuum. Please check whether all suckers contact the transported goods cleanly; align them if necessary. Check the suckers and hose lines for possible damage and replace them if necessary. Check hose clamps for firm fit and tighten them if necessary.
DSKZL2-12V Troubleshooting Leak check for the entire system You can perform a leak check of the two independently functioning vacuum circuits to find the leak as follows. First of all, you should check the entire vacuum circuits with all suckers and the hose lines to both vacuum circuits.
DSKZL2-12V Troubleshooting Electrical malfunction Vacuum pumps do not start when the device switch is actuated Vacuum supply sufficient. Device running correctly. Battery flat? Press button Test to check voltage display. Run machine in mains operation or charge battery. Check safety cutout. Have motor cable on pumps checked by an expert for any possible cable breakage.
DSKZL2-12V Maintenance Maintenance Note Please note that the trades association requires an annual inspection of vacuum lifting devices by a specialist, in accordance with the accident prevent regulations (VbG 9a-prEN 13155:1998). If you do not have a suitable staff member, we offer a maintenance contract for our vacuum lifting devices which includes annual maintenance including testing and certification.
DSMH2-12V Maintenance Leak check A leak test of the two independently functioning vacuum circuits must be performed at least once a week. You should check the entire vacuum circuit with all suckers and the hose lines. To do this, it is necessary to set all suckers of the vacuum cross bar on a gas- impermeable, flat material (for example, a metal or glass sheet) that can be sucked up.
DSKZL2-12V Technical data Load capacity of the DSKZL2-12V All specifications regarding load capacity are based on an evenly distributed load. Furthermore, all suckers must also have sucked on to the transport goods. DSKZL2-12V delivered with suckers type 150 K Sucker type 150 K Diameter: 320 mm Load capacity on smooth, clean, dry...
