Generating the Vacuum
Press the suction lifter firmly onto the suction
¡
¡
surface. The rubber pads must be free of
tension and lie flat.
Engage the lever (A) for generating the
¡
¡
vacuum. You should noticeably feel the
resistance produced by the vacuum.
NOTE
If no constant vacuum is achieved, you must test
the function of the suction lifter on a flat, clean
and grease-free pane of glass. If the function of
the suction lifter is perfect on the test surface,
then the suction surface of your load is not
suitable.
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the load falling due
to low vacuum!
Never attach the suction lifter while the load
¡
¡
is moving.
Lifting, Carrying, Holding
The suction lifter should only be used for lifting,
carrying or holding objects for a short period of
time.
You must regularly check and guarantee the firm
hold of the suction lifter for longer operating
times.
For products with vacuum indicator, the vacuum
can be monitored visually at the lever.
Sufficient vacuum
Insufficient vacuum – load capacity too
low
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the load falling.
When moving the load, a reduction of load
capacity through to a premature release of
the load may occur due to a loss of vacuum!
The load must not exceed the specified load
¡
¡
capacity.
Never move loads carried by the suction lifter
¡
¡
over people.
Avoid exerting lateral pressure to the suction
¡
¡
pad when carrying the load.
If the level of vacuum decreases, put the load
¡
¡
down immediately and reattach the suction
lifter.
Never activate the release devices when
¡
¡
carrying the load.
As soon as you have doubts about the load
capacity of the suction lifter, remove and reattach
it.
WARNING
There is a risk of tripping or slipping when
lifting, moving and setting down the load and
thus a loss of control over the tool and load!
Wear safety shoes.
Wear robust protective gloves.
Wear close-fitting, tear-resistant work
clothing.
