Handling
Risk of injury caused by the load falling due to a damaged suction lifter!
Make sure that the pump-activated suction lifter is working properly before each use.
Pay particular attention to the rubber pad. It must not be damaged or cracked in any way.
Before each use, check the rubber pad for potential functional limitations due to reduced
elasticity, e. g. due to ageing, wear, improper maintenance or storage.
Immediately replace the damaged rubber pads or rubber pads with reduced holding capacity.
The suction surface and the rubber pad must be clean, dry, and free from oil and grease.
The holding capacity is reduced up to its total loss on wet, uneven, rough, and porous surfaces.
Dirt between the suction pad and the lifting surface can damage the surface, rubber pad, valve, and
pump mechanism.
Risk of injury caused by the unexpected movement of the load due to strong air currents!
Check the expected wind load on the object to be carried before use (e. g. outdoors or draughts when
indoors).
Generating the Vacuum
Press the suction lifter firmly on the suction surface. The rubber pads must lie flat on the surface.
For pump-activated models, the vacuum is generated by repeatedly pulling the priming pump (A).
Sufficient vacuum is achieved when the coloured ring (C) at the pump tappet (A) is no longer visible.
If no constant vacuum is achieved, you must test the function of the suction lifter on a separate 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.
