4. SETUP
Make sure that the lifting unit supplied coincides with the dispatch note. If anything is
missing, please contact your supplier. Many problems during installation and test run can
be avoided if you read the manual through before setup. For safety reasons, it is essential
that you have thorough knowledge of the equipment. Vaculex TP is supplied with an
electrically operated vacuum pump or a compressed air driven vacuum pump. Please
observe the instructions for each type of pump.
!
Make sure that the lifting unit can be
reached by the operator when at its highest
position, and that the desired working
heights are attained. In other cases, it will
be necessary to adjust the length of the
lifting hose and/or lifting
unit suspension height.
The person responsible for installing the Vaculex TP must ensure that the support
system is adequately dimensioned to support the weight of the Vaculex TP equipment
itself, its maximum load plus an adequate safety factor.
A competent electrician must be responsible for electrical installation.

Safety instructions during setup
The person responsible for the installation must ensure that the support system (such
as a traversing crane) is adequately dimensioned to support the weight of the
Vaculex TP equipment itself, its maximum load plus an adequate safety factor.
The lifting unit is suspended from its suspension ear. Make sure that other
suspension attachments are sufficiently dimensioned and that they are secured
where applicable.
When the lift unit is suspended, the suction cup should be 100 mm above the
surface of the floor. If the suction cup is closer to the floor, the hose must be short-
ened or the suspension system must be raised. If the suction cup is further away
from the floor, the hose must be lengthened or the suspension system must be low-
ered.
