6.6 Safety Feature
As a safety feature, the vacuum reservoir is equipped with a pressure gauge indicating a red danger range indica-
tor.
Check the safety features at the start of every shift (if the unit is not operated continuously) or once a
week (if operated continuously).
Checking the Vacuum Reservoir
1. Suction connection on the filter, e.g. with rubber sheet, vacuum-tight.
2. Switch on the vacuum pump and wait until a vacuum has been established.
3. Switch off the system and observe the pressure gauge. The vacuum should not drop by more than 100 mbar
within 20 minutes.
Rectify faults before the device is put into operation. Should faults occur during operation, switch off
the device and rectify the faults.
7 Starting Up the Device
Local applicable safety regulations must be observed.
The operator of the vacuum reservoir must take internal measures to ensure that:
•
The users of the device are trained
•
They have read and understood the operating instructions
•
The operating instructions are accessible to them at all times
The responsibilities for the various tasks to be carried out on the device must be clearly specified and adhered to.
The operating company must ensure that they have the appropriate qualifications and skills.
The following note is a supplement to local applicable safety regulations:
1. Regularly check the gauge.
ð
If the pressure gauge needle reaches the red area below -0.6 bar, there is a risk that the suction cups sup-
plied by the vacuum reservoir can no longer safely hold the lifted load.
2. Check device for leaks.
DANGER
Falling objects due to insufficient vacuum supply to the system
Risk of severe injury or death as the lifted load is no longer safely held.
4
Standing or sitting under the lifted load is prohibited!
4
Complete the work step as safely as possible
4
Shut down supply
4
Check device for leaks
