6.2 What to do in an emergency
The following cases constitute an emergency:
Vacuum supply failure (e.g. power failure
vacuum generation switches off)
Leakage (e.g.: detached hose)
Forces arising during a collision
The four-step emergency action plan:
1.
If the vacuum supply fails, immediately release the control lever, thus setting it to the “Lift”
position, so that the load does not fall. The residual vacuum allows the vacuum tube lifter

UMBO
and load to be lowered slowly.
2. Set down the load in as controlled a manner as possible.
3. The operator must sound the alarm immediately in the event of danger.
4. All persons must leave the danger zone immediately.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to lowering of the tube lifter in the event of a power
failure or vacuum generator failure
This can result in a crushing injury.
►
If the vacuum in the lift tube collapses, move the control handle/lever to the lift
position, immediately if possible, to cause the non-return valve to lower the
tube lifter and the load slowly.
►
Stay clear of the danger zone at all times.
►
If possible, set down the load safely.
6.3 Description of operation
The vacuum tube lifter
J
UMBO

is used for fast and frequent lifting and moving of workpieces
weighing up to 20, 35, or 50kg (observe lift capacity range).
The vacuum generator generates the vacuum, which is then directed to the suction pads via the
supply hose and lift tube. The vacuum keeps the workpiece attached to the suction pad. Controlled
leakage of the vacuum in the lift tube is used for lifting and lowering.
