Inspections before starting work
WARNING
What to do in an emergency
The following cases constitute an emergency:
•
Vacuum supply failure (e.g. vacuum generation turns off → during power failure). In such cases, a built-
in reservoir maintains the vacuum for a short safety period (depending on the density of the load
surface).
•
Leakage (e.g. detached hose)
•
Force resulting from a collision
•
The vacuum level falls into the red zone on the gauge (less than -0.6 bar) while handling the load.
WARNING
30/43
Danger from falling objects.
►
1.
Check the charging status of the battery (display item 7, see
section 9.2 on changing the battery).
•
The battery is full if the GREEN light of the battery charge Ievel
indicator is on in the first 10 seconds after switching on.
•
After 10 seconds the battery charge Ievel indicator may switch to
YELLOW.
•
The Iifting device can be used.
•
Charge the battery before use if the YELLOW or the RED light of
the battery charge Ievel indicator is on, just when switching on.
•
A fully charged battery lasts around one work day.
•
The battery must be charged after each use so that the Iifting
device remains ready for use at all times.
•
The battery can be charged constantly.
2.
Check the condition of the suction plate.
3.
Ensure that the suction plate is securely attached.
4. Inspect safety features (see section 2.6).
5.
Inspect seals and replace if necessary.
6. Check condensation and drain if necessary (see section 9.7).
7.
Ensure that the transportation or lifting device used (e.g. crane,
chain hoist, construction vehicle, etc.) and the hoist are suitable
(see section 3 for max. load capacity).
Risk of injury due to reduction in the vacuum level in the event of a power
failure or vacuum generator failure
Persons will be crushed and injured.
►
The operator must sound the alarm immediately in the event of danger.
►
Stay clear of the danger zone at all times.
►
If possible, set down the load safely.
