• Clean the suction surface regularly with spirit or another mild cleaning agent. Do
not use any mineral oil products, such as benzene and other solvents such as
spirit.
Please also note the technical data sheets and the safety data sheets for the
cleaning agents.
• Ensure the surfaces or objects to be lifted consist of non-porous material. In
addition, the surface must be clean, dry and free from oil and grease. In case of
uneven or porous surfaces, the suction effect is decreased or not there at all.
• Do not use a sharp object to detach the vacuum lifter from a surface, because
the suction surface can be damaged by this.
Attention, important Notes on Use:
In order to be able to work as safely as possible, please consider the following
regulations:
• Use the vacuum lifter only if you have experience with it, or are supervised by
an experienced person.
• Basically, check the vacuum lifter for correct function before every use. Check
the grip for dents and cracks. Inspect the rubber pads for excessive gloss, cuts
or roughness.
• The surface on which the vacuum lifters is placed must be clean, dry and free
from grease or oil.
• Vacuum lifters may be used only for short-term lifting, support and the holding of
objects. After a longer working life, the lifting unit is to be checked regularly for
secure adherence.
• In case of inadequate adherence, detach the vacuum lifter and attach again.
• Before every use, it is to be checked whether the suction capacity of the rubber
pads has reduced because of loss of elasticity due to age, wear, lack of
maintenance, unsuitable storage etc. Damaged or inefficient rubber pads are to
be replaced. Never use the vacuum lifter with damaged rubber pads or
insufficient suction capacity!
• The specified lifting capacity of the vacuum lifter may not be exceeded. Sheet
glass should be lifted only at a room temperature of 20°C. Low temperatures,
moisture and contamination, careless handling, defective suction surfaces or
employment with materials other than flat glass (e.g. structured glass, plastic,
stone, metal etc.), can significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity.
