...SET UP...
Hang up a compressed air hose on the suspension system on which the lifting unit
is installed (such as a traversing crane). A compressed air hose of dimension
!
”
is recommended.
Connect the compressed air hose to the vacuum pump compressed air connection.
The compressed air union has a
"
” internal thread.
Make sure that incoming compressed air is free from contamination and water.
A water trap and particle filter should be installed between the compressor and the
vacuum pump.
The lifting speed of the Vaculex TP with a compressed air operated vacuum
pump will not be fully satisfactory unless the compressed air supply is capable of
providing
630 litre/minute
at a supply pressure of
6 bar
. Restrictions such
as inadequate dimensions of the compressed air hose and 90° elbows should be
avoided.
Lift a load with a fully air-tight surface. Leave the load hanging on the lift and
then listen for whistling noises to ensure that there is no leakage anywhere in the
installation.
Lift a load with a fully air-tight surface which weighs about 5 kg. Leave the load
hanging in the lifting unit and then switch the vacuum pump off. The load and the
lifting unit should now slowly sink down towards the floor. If this does not happen,
please contact your supplier.
Lift a load with a fully air-tight surface and the highest permissible load for the
installation. Please refer to “Troubleshooting” if the load is not lifted.
