Lifting Load; Fastening The Load Securing Chain - probst SH-1000-MINI-E Operating Instructions Manual

Operating

5.2.1 Lifting load

•
Start the electric motor and switch on the warning device.
•
Position the lifting device directly above the load. Do not pull to the side. Distribute load evenly.
•
Place the lifting device on the load.
•
Shift the bushing on the slide valve. Suction is applied to the load.
•
Watch the pressure gauge. As soon as a vacuum pressure of -0.6 bar has been reached you
can lift the load. Do not under any circumstances lift the load before the manometer has
reached this level as the load would fall off.
•
When lifting be sure to lift only one piece at a time. Use a screwdriver to carefully remove any
pieces attached to the one you are lifting before proceeding. Do not separate them with your
hands as they could be crushed
5.2.1.1

Fastening the load securing chain

•
Lift the device slightly with the load sucked in (approx. 0,5 m). Remove the load securing chain
(8) from the chain box (9).
•
Throw the load securing chain under the lifted load.
•
Never touch the load (stone slab) with your hands! Danger of crushing!
•
Hook the load securing chain tightly onto the other side of the device (stow the end of the chain
in the chain box (9)).
•
The load securing chain (8) must be tightly attached to the load (fig. A) so that in case of vacuum
failure/loss (e.g. due to power failure) the load is held by the load securing chain. The load
securing chain must never hang loosely under the load (fig. A), otherwise the load may
fall down in case of vacuum failure/loss. Danger to life!!!
•
Now the device can be transported to its destination with the attached load.
•
Carefully lower the load (approx. 0.5 m from the ground), unhook the load securing chain and
pull it out from under the load. Never reach under the load (stone slab) with your hands!
Danger of squeezing!
•
Put the load securing chain back into the chain box (9).
•
As soon as the load has been caught by the load securing chain, the load securing chain must
be checked professionally and replaced if necessary.
•
Damaged load securing chains must not be used any longer!
