not only recommend the maximum weights
to be lifted but also the load duration (or
frequency), the adopted body posture and the
conditions under which load handling takes
place.
Check before lifting whether you are
¡
physically capable of lifting the load under
the given circumstances.
Alterations, additions and modifications of
¡
the suction lifter are not permissible. This
applies in particular to the safety devices.
Unauthorised alterations or modifications
will void the supplied EC Declaration of
Conformity.
The use of the suction lifter in environments
¡
subject to explosion hazards (ATEX) is
prohibited.
Operating the device under the influence of
¡
medications which affect perception and
reactions, or under the influence of drugs and
alcohol is forbidden!
Never try to lift cracked or chipped glass.

Description
The pump-activated suction lifter includes a
hand pump (A), a suction pad (D), a venting valve
(B), and a vacuum indicator (C). By engaging the
pump, a vacuum is generated between the suction
pad and the gas-tight surface of the object to
be lifted. A coloured ring or a pressure gauge
serve as vacuum indicator. If sufficient vacuum is
generated, the object can be lifted and carried.
If the vacuum decreases, the user can engage
the pump at all times. The suction lifter can be
released from the object by engaging the venting
valve.
