Operating Instructions
SH 2500-UNI-B
8.2
Lifting and Landing Loads
The following operating steps must be checked by a qualified mechanic before the operating staff can use the
device. Correct faults before start-up.
In order to ensure safe operation of the device, a battery test of the warning device must be carried out
before each use of the device. See chapter "Checking safety devices".
8.2.1
Lifting Loads:
●
Start the gasoline engine (further details → see HONDA operating instructions). 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!
8.2.1.1
Fastening the load securing chain
●
Lift the device with the sucked load just a little (approx. 20-30 cm), then remove the load-securing chain
(8) from the chain case (9) and throw it under the lifted load.
●
Never grip with the hands under the load (stone slab) – danger of squeezing the hands!
●
Suspend and tighten the load-securing chain (1) on the other side of the device (place the end of the chain
into the chain case (9).
●
The load-securing chain must fit tightly to the load (see F ig. A), so that load with vacuum failure (e.g. due
to power / vacuum failure) is held by the security chain.
●
The safety chain must NEVER hang loose under the load, otherwise load may fall down, in a vacuum load
failure (e.g. due to power failure).Danger to life!
●
Now the device with sucked load be transported to the destination.
●
Lower the load carefully (distance to the ground approx. 20-30 cm), then remove safety chain and throw
it under the load.
●
Never grip with the hands under load (stone slab)! Danger of squeezing!
●
Load-securing chain (8) should be returned to chain case (9).
●
Place the device with the sucked load completely on the floor.
●
Once the load has been held by the load securing chain, the load securing chain must be properly tested
and replaced if necessary. Damaged load-securing chains must not be used any further!!
