⇒
Fix the construction element to the installation site in such a way that it doesn’t consti-
tute a danger after being released!
⇒
Afterwards the construction element is released. First press the button “Release” (8)
and then the “Release return key”. The confirmation is an additional safety measure
against unintentional operating errors.
Make sure that the load is properly attached to the OKTOPUS
®
! Unbalanced
loads can cause damage to the device!
As a result of the own weight of the OKTOPUS
®
there is still a residual vac-
uum after venting the suction pads through the vacuum system. Jerkily lift-
ing the OKTOPUS
®
increases this effect. Therefore, always remove the de-
vice slowly and steadily from the installed elements.
With certain combinations of pane sizes, type and radius of curvature, such
elements may hit the crane boom during handling. This can cause the ele-
ments to be damaged or fall down!

3.7 Changing the suction frame
For changing the suction frame for flat glass panes to the suction frame for curved glass
panes, we recommend to proceed as follows:
⇒
Couple the OKTOPUS
®
to a crane using a lifting strap and slightly lift it.
⇒
Remove all 8 suction pads from the suction frame and bring the suction frame into po-
sition as shown in figure 12. Leave the crane rigged during the entire dis-/assembly
time. Make sure that the crane ropes are always stretched.
⇒
Disassemble the vacuum manifold (s. Abb. 12) as follows:
- Loosen all 6 quick couplings of the Vacuum manifold.
