7.2
Lifting, Transporting
and Lowering Loads
The following operating steps must be checked by a qualified mechanic prior to use of
the device by the operating personnel. Correct any faults before the device is used.
7.2.1
Lifting Loads
●
Switch the blower on.
●
Position the lifting device directly above the load. Do not pull to the sides.
Distribute load evenly.
●
Lower the lifting device onto the load.
●
The suction pad grips the load.
●
Watch the pressure gauge. As soon as a vacuum pressure of -200 mbar has been
reached (pointer of the vacuum gauge is in the green range) you can lift the load.
Never attempt to lift the load with a lower vacuum since it will be dropped.
●
When lifting items from a stack, ensure that only one piece is actually lifted.
●
The duty cycle (lifting/venting) should not exeed 2/3 to 1/3.
●
Maximum lifting period 30 seconds, followed by 15 seconds with inlet free.
7.2.2
Transporting Loads
Avoid jerky movement of the load.
The operator who actuates the operating lever must always inform the second
operator clearly and unambiguously of his intended actions.
7.2.3
Lowering Loads
Lower the load to a safe and clear, level surface so the load cannot slip or tip over.
Pull the operating lever to release the load.
7.3
Handle height
adjustment
The operator handles can be adjusted for operators of differing heights. This may be
done only when the device is resting on the ground.
Remove the spring clips, move the pins to the desired position and secure the pins
again with the spring clips.
