  • Page 25: Installation

    INSTALLATION Installation Please read section 1.6 (Requirements & instructions for installation, maintenance and operating staff) before starting installation. 5.1 Connecting the vacuum tube lifter Jumbo, attaching the hoses Procedure: 1. Lay out the compressed air hose/vacuum supply hose with a diameter of 500 mm.
  • Page 26: Mounting The Suction Pad

    INSTALLATION When routing the supply hose along a crane column, ceiling, wall or floor, note that the vacuum hose can contract by up to 15% when the vacuum is applied. It must therefore be laid loosely with length compensation. Longer, straight line stretches can also be bridged with plastic pipes.
  • Page 27: Installing The Vacuum Generator

    INSTALLATION 5.3 Installing the vacuum generator Make sure that no dirt particles enter the suction or compressed air line during mounting. 5.3.1 Vacuum pump Install the vacuum pump as described in the separate operating instructions.

  • Page 30: Test

    INSTALLATION Minimum distance to the floor 10 cm ATTENTION Entire system damage The suction pad must never apply suction to the floor/supporting surface as this will cause damage to load-bearing parts of the entire system. ► A minimum distance of approx. 10 cm must be maintained between the suction pad and the supporting surface.
  • Page 31: Operation

    OPERATION 6 Operation The following operating steps must be checked by a qualified electrician before the initial start of operations and section 1.6 (Requirements and instructions for installation, maintenance and operating staff) must be read.
