Due to the dead weight of the OKTOPUS
®
, a residual vacuum remains even af-
ter ventilating the suction pads by the evacuated system. Jerky rising of the
OKTOPUS
®
strengthens this effect. Therefore, take the equipment always
slowly and steadily off from the elements shifted.
3.5.2 Handling of glass and cladding elements standing upright
⇒
Move the crane with the attached OKTOPUS
®
GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600 /800 to the
elements. Place the OKTOPUS
®
onto the topmost element.
⇒
Position the OKTOPUS
®
onto or above the centre of mass of the load (max.
±
5 cm)!
In order to avoid unintended load rotation, make sure that the sliding lever
„Rotation“ (see fig. 12) is locked. The sliding lever „Swivelling“ shall be re-
leased and the crane arm be vertical !
⇒
Slightly lift the switch SUCTION / RELEASE and push it towards SUCTION (see fig. 10)
until it snaps into place.
⇒
After the warning light and the buzzer have both gone out, the vacuum gauge indicates
that the working range has been reached (see fig. 9) and you have made sure, that no
one stays in the danger area, you can lift the load.
⇒
Only lift the load as high as necessary!
⇒
After the element has been placed at the assembly location, fasten it completely to avoid
any danger after release!
⇒
After that, the building element is detached. For release again raise the switch
SUCTION/RELEASE a bit and push it towards RELEASE. Raising the switch is an addi-
tional safety feature against unintentional faulty operation
If your OKTOPUS
®
is equipped with the optional blow-off function, subsequently press the
button “Blow-off“ (see fig. 1, pos. 16). Keep the button pressed until all suction pads have
completely disengaged from the load. In this case the suction pads are supplied with
compressed air which ensures that the suction pads are released quicker from the load.
