Special Hazards
Prohibition

The operating range has to be covered for unauthorized persons, especially children.

The workplace has to be sufficiently illuminated.

Take care when handling wet, dirty and not solidified components.

The working with the vacuum lifting device in case of atmospheric editions under 37,5° F
is forbidden!
Because the goods could be fall down caused by dampness or
freezing.

Take care in case of thunderstorm!

Since the load is held on the suction plates of the unit by a vacuum, it will fall off as soon
as this vacuum is lost (e.g. energy failure).

This can happen if the vacuum generator fails. An integrated vacuum reservoir maintains
the vacuum for a short safety period whose duration depends on the porosity of the
work piece surface.

If the vacuum generator fails, lower the load immediately if this is possible. Otherwise,
leave the danger area below the load immediately.
Intended use
The lifting device is used for the lifting and transporting at low altitudes (
see chapter "safety at work"
)
of flat, thick and non-porous granite, marble, WET CAST and other stone slabs, as well as concrete
elements, natural stones, sandstone steps, clay pipes, etc., provided a vacuum of -0.6 bar is available,
using appropriate transportation or lifting devices (crane, chain hoist, construction vehicle, etc.).
WARNING
Danger due to falling objects from using improper suction plates.
►
The suction plate is not included in delivery. The user must ensure that only
suction plates suitable for the load to be lifted are used.
Maximum load capacity: 600 kg
►
The suction plate holder must comply with the requirements outlined in
chapter 5.3. Other suction plate holders are not permitted.
►
The suction surface of the load to be lifted must be airtight – i.e., when the
vacuum generator is switched off, the load being gripped must be held for
another five minutes. You may need to verify this by performing tests.
