Installation
4.1
Mechanical connection
Use only original accessories, in case of doubt consult the manufacturer.
Take care that the carrying capacity / working load limit (WLL) of the lifting device/carrier is not
exceeded, through the load of the device, the optional attaching devices (turning device, fork sleeves,
crane boom etc.) and the additional load of the gripping goods!
Gripping devices always have to be gimballed, so they can swing freely in any position.
In no case it is allowed to mount gripping devices with lifting devices/carriers in a rigid way!
Break of the suspension may occur within short time. Death, severe injuries and material
damage can result!
When using the device on optional attachments (such as fork sleeves, crane boom, etc.), it cannot be
excluded, due to the lowest possible construction of the total device (to avoid loss of lifting height), that
the device may collide with adjacent components if the device is suspended in an oscillating motion
and unfavourable positioning during travel movements of the carrier device. This should be avoided as
far as possible by positioning the device appropriately and in a sensible driving style. Damage resulting
from this will not be regulated within the scope of the warranty.
4.1.1 Standard flange plate
The device is attached to the lifting equipment/carrier with a standard flange plate or a custom-made
flange plate connection.
Attaching the device to the lifting equipment/carrier take care that all local safety regulations are
observed.
When attaching the device to a forklift truck, the plate with the transport ring must be unscrewed from
the flange plate. Depending on the case of use, a rotary head/rotary motor can be attached to the
flange plate. This is attached either to a fork sleeve or to a crane boom.
•
Use the standard flange plate, which enables you to connect the device (VZ-HS) to the carrier using
a rotating motor and / or a quick change device.
•
Caution: the suspension between the device (VZ-HS) and the support frame (e.g. wheel loader)
must always be carried out above the rotation otherwise damage will occur!
•
The device (VZ-HS) can be mounted with chains onto the carrier.
•
Use the holes at the device (VZ-HS) for chain suspension on the carrier.
