Page 4: Introduction
If you want to use the lifting unit for other objects, please contact your supplier. The peripheral equipment in which Vaculex TP is installed is not described in this manual. Please refer to a separate description of each product. -
Page 5: Safety
Loads Never handle heavier loads than the equipment is designed for. Only use Vaculex TP to handle loads which are so strong that there is no risk they could fall apart when lifted. Never fix the suction cup to surfaces with loose components, such as address labels. - Page 6 Read through the entire manual and get to know the equipment before it is installed and taken into service. Operate Vaculex TP with light force on the control handle to avoid jerky movements when lifting. The equipment must be switched off during service and cleaning.

- Page 10 For safety reasons, it is essential that you have thorough knowledge of the equipment. Vaculex TP is supplied with an electrically operated vacuum pump or a compressed air driven vacuum pump. Please observe the instructions for each type of pump.
- Page 11 Place the vacuum pump as close to the lifting unit as practically possible in order to minimise the length of the vacuum hose. If Vaculex TP is to lift loads at high speed, it is important that the vacuum hose between the vacuum pump and the lifting unit is not too long.
- Page 12 The electric cable should be run through the cable transition provided (please refer to the illustration below). If several Vaculex TP units are to be installed, the vacuum pumps must be marked to make it clear which Vaculex TP each pump is connected to.
