1.5  Intended Use 

 
 
 
 

 

Lifting devices series 

V

ACU

M

ASTER 

M

ULTI

 are designed to lift and transport flat 

and slightly bent boards of various materials, e.g. wood, particle board,  
sheet-metal or plastic boards. The boards may have porous surfaces. 
When using lifting devices with a single suction box the load have to be flat. 
 

 

Caution

 

 

The maximum lifting capacity must not be exceeded. 

Observe the name plate. 

 

Danger

 

 

Transport of persons and animals with the load or the lifting device 
itself is forbidden! 

 

Unauthorized alteration of the lifting device is forbidden for safety 
reasons! 

 

The operating, maintenance and service instructions in this manual 

must be observed.

 

 

 

 

1.6  Emissions 

The equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the lifting device is  
below 75 dB(A). 

 

1.7  Special Hazards 

 

 

Danger

 

Since the load is retained by a vacuum it will fall off as soon as this  
vacuum is lost. 
This happens in a sudden power failure. An alarm signal switches on. 
When power fails immediately put the load down if possible. If this is not 
possible, immediately leave the dangerous area near the load 

 

Danger

 

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. 
 

 

 

 

1.8  Workplaces 

The workplace of the operator is in front of the control handle. Stand in a 
position that allows you to keep a constant eye on the vacuum pressure gauge. 
 

1.9  Instructions for the 

Operator 

As an operator of the lifting device you must be trained before start-up.  
You must have read and understood the operating instructions and especially 
the chapter "Safety". 
Be sure, that only authorized persons use the device. You are responsible for 
others in the operating range of the equipment. 
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. Safety instructions in this 
document are complementary to the rules in force and do not supersede the 
latter. 

 

1.10  Equipment for 

Personal Protection 

When operating the device always wear: 

 

safety shoes (with steel top), 

 

tough gloves. 

 

1.11  Behaviour in 

Emergencies 

An emergency situation exists when 

 

power suddenly fails (device switches off), a horn signal sounds. 

 

the vacuum pressure drops below -0.125 bar to the red section on the scale 

of the pressure gauge, a horn signal sounds. 

Put the load down immediately if possible. If this is not possible, immediately 
leave the dangerous area near the load. It will fall off!
