Authorized use

The device (KKV-20/30) may only be used for gripping, transporting and moving cable channels with a light width of
200-300 mm!
The device (KKV-20/30) is equipped with a lifting eye and can therefore also be attached to a hoisting device/carrier
such as an excavator, loading crane and the like.
ATTENTION: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground (→ chapter
"Safety at work" and "Explanation of basic concepts").
Only stone elements with parallel and plane surface are allowed to be picked-up and handled.
Because the gripping good could fall down.
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
danger and are therefore forbidden!
Carrying capacities / working load limits(WLL) of the device must not be exceeded and nominal
widths/gripping ranges must not be exceeded or fallen below.
All unauthorized transports with the device are strictly prohibited:
•
Transport of people and animals.
•
Gripping and transporting of other loads and materials than
described in this operating instruction.
•
Never suspend any goods with ropes, chains or similar at the
device, except at the designated lifting eyes/-bolts.
•
Gripping of gripping goods with packaging foil, because they
could fall down.
•
Gripping of gripping goods with surfaces that reduce the
coefficient of friction (e.g., abrasive, treated, dirty, frozen,
coated, painted surfaces), as this causes a reduction in the
coefficient of friction between the grippers and the gripping
goods → Danger of slipping!
Remedy: In case of dirt of any kind, it is absolutely necessary
to clean the grippers and the surface of the products in the
area of the grippers before each gripping process!
•
Gripping of gripped goods, which can deform or break due to
the clamping force of the gripping device!
•
Gripping of goods which show visible damage, or which may
break due to their own weight.
•
Gripping and transporting of non-rectangular and round
gripping goods, because they could fall down (see figure to the
right). ➔
•
Transportation of material with "feet", "bellies" and "blind
spacers".
