Lifting devices of the
S
PEEDY
VS-S
are designed for lifting and moving stone and
concrete slabs. Operation requires two persons.
The maximum lifting capacity must not be exceeded.

Transport of persons and animals with the load or the lifting device itself is forbidden!
Unauthorised modification of the lifting device is forbidden for safety reasons!
The operating, maintenance and service instructions in this manual must be
observed.
3.6
Emissions
The equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the device is
approx. 80 dB(A).
3.7
Special Hazards
Danger
Since the load is held by a vacuum, it will fall off as soon as this vacuum is lost.
This can happen if the vacuum generator fails.
If the vacuum generator fails, lower the load immediately if this is possible.
If this is not possible, immediately leave the dangerous area near the load.
The device generates a very strong suction which can draw in hair and clothing. Do not
look into the suction opening when the device is switched on. Parts of body can be
sucked in.
3.8
Workplaces
The device is operated always by two persons. The workplace of the operators is in
front of the control handles.
Stand so that you can constantly observe the vacuum gauge.
3.9
Instructions for the
Operator
As an operator of the lifting device, you must be trained before you start to use the
device. You must have read and understood the operating instructions and especially
the chapter "Safety".
Ensure that only authorised persons use the device. You are responsible for others in
the operating range of the equipment.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. The safety instructions in this document
complement these local regulations and do not supersede them.

Danger
An emergency situation exists when
●
power suddenly fails (device switches off),

the vacuum pressure drops in the red danger zone on the scale of the vacuum
gauge.
Lower the load immediately if possible. If this is not possible, immediately leave the
dangerous area near the load, since it will be dropped from the device.
