3.5 Startup
In order to start-up the OKTOPUS
®
proceed as follows:
•
Turn the main switch of the OKTOPUS
®
to position “ON” and activate the transmitter of
the radio remote control according to point 3.3 of this operating manual.
•
First press the button “Release” (8) and “Release return key” (2) of the transmitter of the
radio remote control.
•
Check the battery’s charge level on the charge indicator,
⇒
if the yellow LED lights up, the device is ready for operation,
⇒
in case the yellow LED flashes and/or the red LED lights up (alarm is triggered at
the same time), the battery has to be recharged (see also section 3.1 Electrical
power supply)!
3.6 Handling of glass and façade elements
Prior to the uptake of construction elements:
⇒
the suction frame suitable for the load to be handled has to be mounted, if not done yet
(see section 3.7).
⇒
the OKTOPUS
®
has to be coupled to the crane as described in section 3.4.
⇒
when using the suction frame for flat glass panes, the extension arms have to be as-
sembled or disassembled, if necessary (see section 3.8).
⇒
when using the suction frame for curved glass panes, the outer suction pad beams
have to be adjusted to the bending radius of the glass/façade element, if necessary
(see section 3.9).
⇒
the OKTOPUS
®
has to be put into operation according to 3.5.
The installation of construction elements is carried out as follows:
⇒
Move the crane with the attached OKTOPUS
®
GLASS-Jack GL-CC 1200 to the con-
struction elements. Position the suction pads parallel to the suction area of the load by
pressing the buttons “Swivel to the left” (3), “Swivel to the right” (4), “Tilt down” (5), “Tilt
up” (6) as well as “Rotate to the left” (9) and “Rotate to the right” (10) of the radio re-
mote control as well as by the driving and lifting movements of the crane.
⇒
Position the suction pads of the OKTOPUS
®
above the center of mass of the load (
±
5
cm]) and place them on the suction area. If the surface of the construction element is
covered with protective film, remove the protective film at least area of the suction pads
before placing the OKTOPUS
®
.
⇒
Press the button “Suction” (7). The glass or façade element is suctioned.
⇒
Only lift the load after the red warning light and the alarm buzzer have turned off, the
vacuum gauges indicate that the working area has been reached (see fig. 8), the green
signal light is illuminated and you have ensured that nobody is in the hazardous area.
⇒
Do not lift the load higher than necessary!
⇒
Bring the suction pads including the load into the required position by pressing the but-
tons (3) to (6) as well as (9) and (10) of the radio remote control and as well as by the
driving and lifting movements of the crane.
