Page 3: Important Preliminary Remarks
Vetter guarantee. The handling of the Vetter VCB C.Tec (Vetter Connectable Bags - Connectable Technology) is only to be made by trained persons using the operating instructions of the manufacturer and the in- formation from the user. - Page 4 VCB and VCB N C.Tec Bags 12 bar (174 psi) d. Controller 12 bar When filling and deflating of the bags, the manometer and the load must be observed. Air CU (Control Unit) 12 bar deadman Connect the inflation hoses on the output couplings on the rear side of the controller.
- Page 5 Connect the filling hose to the outlet couplings (4) on the rear of the control element. Connect the air supply to the lateral inlet cou- pling (1). To fill the VCB C.Tec Bags press the lower “+” push-button (2). When the desired operating pressure has been reached for the lift force or lift height, discontinue the filling process by releasing the push-button.

VCB and VCB N C.Tec Bags 12 bar (174 psi) e. Protective cap To protect the load plate and the adhesive rubber against damage, the Vetter protective cap must be used every time the C.Tec lifting bags are used. The protective cap also increases the friction between the load plate and the ground or the load plate and the load to be lifted. -
Page 7: Vetter Safety Coupling System
Vetter safety coupling system The S.Tec and C.Tec series are provided with the same coupling system. That means Vetter 12 bar accessories can be used for both bag series. a. Input coupling of the controller Connect the air supply hose or the connection hose of the pressure re- gulator to the nipple of the input coupling (1) on the controller pushing the nipple solidly into the coupling until the ratchet action can be felt. -
Page 8: Product Description
Inflation with an 8 bar or 10 bar inflation device The C.Tec 12 safety coupling system facilitates filling the pad with the Vetter 8 bar or 10 bar system. However, do this only in excep- tional cases since in such a case the pad cannot lift with its entire lifting force. - Page 9 During the lifting process, at least 2/3 (red area) must be fully inserted under the load. In order to use the theoretical maximum lifting force, the entire effective area (red + green area) must be fully underneath the load to be lifted and pressure must be applied to the lifting bag with the max. permissible operating pressure.
- Page 10 VCB and VCB N C.Tec Bags 12 bar (174 psi) For safety-engineering reasons however only the following combinations can be braced into a lifting system: Combination 1 Combination 2 Combination 3 Max. three bags of One small bag on two Three bags of the same size bags of the same size...
- Page 11 If the rendered lifting height of a stack of C.Tec bags is not sufficient de- pending on the double or triple lifting height, it is possible to place two lifting systems next to each other: Never position 4 or more bags on top of each other! An C.Tec Bag under load can be compared to a spring under tension with respect to its behavour.

Page 12: Correct Usage
The C.Tec Bags are only to be used with compressed air, under no cir- cumstances are they to be used with inflammable gases or aggressively acting gases. VCB C.Tec Bags are only to be inflated with original Vetter C.Tec inflation fittings because these were subjected to an acceptance test by the manufacturer. - Page 13 In case of slippery ground (ice, snow, clay, etc.) or coarse gravel, place the Vetter protective cap or other anti-slip materials under the bag to increase the ground adhesion. Point-shaped loads are to be avoided, e.g. construction claws or screws.
- Page 14 A C.Tec Bag can burst under adverse conditions with incorrect opera- tion, incorrect handling or by manipulation on the controller and/or inflation hose (problems concerning pressure waves and sound waves, uncontrolled movement)! Vetter C.Tec Bags are not suited for use in explosion endangered zones! Page 13/22...

Page 15: Preparing The Product For Use
Preparing the product for use Preparations for operation Remove a set of C.Tec bags from the vehicle and perform a visual inspection. Prepare the inflation device. Ensure that sufficient air supply is available. Only perfectly working and tested S.Tec Bag systems are to be used! Since there is no standard set, in the scope of his responsibility the respective commanding officer decides on the deployment method while following the standard deployment rules and the operating organisation‘s ope- rational directives. -

VCB and VCB N C.Tec Bags 12 bar (174 psi) 2. Then place the upper bag on the connecting pin already mounted. The valve of the upper bag must be positioned vertically to the open lock of the lower bag. The nipple of the connecting pin must be en- gaged in the bag. -
Page 17: Operation With Other Sources Of Compressed Air
Operation with other sources of compressed air Basically, every source of air available can be used for operation of the C.Tec Bags 12 bar as long as the pressure does not exceed 14 bar and that the air is free of oil as far as possible. Amongst others, the set of transition pieces (Art. -

9 Temperature between +15 °C and 25 °C and relative humidity < 65 % Never suspend the bags by the carrying handles for storage! The VETTER Guarantee is 2 years for C.Tec Bags. Elimination of defects If the safety valve blows too early because of foreign body penetration caught up inside then the blow-off valve is to be fully opened on the head of safety valve by turning counter-clockwise so that the compressed air can escape. -
Page 19: Storage
If the seal or the seal plate on the safety valve of the controller on the upper part of the valve has been removed then correct operation is no longer guaranteed. The safety valve is to be exchanged! Storage When stored and handled properly, the properties of rubber products remain nearly constant for a long period of time. -
