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.

Before rotating the load, make sure that there is enough space available. Ensure that the
load does not strike anything during rotation!
⇒
Unlock the release ’’Rotation“ (see fig. 12) and turn the load into the appropriate position.
After that relock the sliding lever.
