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.
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.
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. To ensure safe installation (with cranes), we recommend that you use a console for electrical vacuum generators.
INSTALLATION 5.3.1.2 Additional dust filter Install the additional filter in the vacuum connection of the pump using the attachment parts. Screw the hose nozzle (with sealing) for the hose connection to the dust filter. EVE 40 EVE 50 EVE 80 5.3.1.3 Vacuum regulation valve The dynamics of the vacuum tube lifter J...
INSTALLATION 5.4 Shortening the lift tube The lift tube can easily be shortened at the location of use The lift tube must be shortened due to low ceiling heights or when using different grippers. The length of the lift tube has to be adjusted so that the vacuum tube lifter J cannot apply suction to the floor, but is able to safely deposit the load on UMBO...
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.
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. Tip: Switching off the blower during break times (by pressing the SRC radio remote control) can reduce power consumption by up to 40%.

OPERATION WARNING Danger due to falling objects - In the event of vacuum failure - In the event of a collision, causing the load to break off - In the event of component failure resulting from overload or unauthorized modifications There is a risk that people in the vicinity could be hit, causing death or serious injury! No person may sit or stand in the danger zone of the load.
OPERATION 6.2 What to do in an emergency The following cases constitute an emergency: Vacuum supply failure (e.g. power failure vacuum generation switches off) Leakage (e.g.: detached hose) Forces arising during a collision The four-step emergency action plan: 1.
OPERATION 6.4 Switching the device on and off WARNING Risk of injury due to uncontrolled gripper movements If the suction pad is touching the floor or hanging in its storage rack upon activation, the pad can adhere to the floor or become trapped in the storage rack.
OPERATION 6.5 Setting the dynamics of the tube lifter The dynamics of the tube lifter Jumbo can be set with the vacuum regulation valve (VRV). Secondary air can be introduced into the system by opening the VRV. This reduces the speed of the tube lifter's upward movement.
OPERATION 6.7 Setting the hovering position The working height of the operator handle – without load – can be adjusted to a more ergonomic height as desired. The working height is adjusted by rotating the knurled nuts (2) – this adjusts the idle position of the valve.
OPERATION 6.8.1 Lifting loads 1. Position the suction pad directly above the load. Do not lift the load at an angle. 2. Press the actuating lever (1/2) – put the actuating lever into the “Lower” position. The vacuum lifting tube of the device relaxes and the tube lifter is lowered.
OPERATION 6.8.3 Picking up vertically and depositing horizontally 1. The 90° swiveling unit is designed for handling loads, picking up vertically and depositing horizontally. 2. Pick up the workpiece in the center or at the top so that the load swivels slowly to a horizontal position.
