We thank you for choosing our products which hereinafter
will also be referred to as “suction cup”.
! !
WArNINg! The suction cup is suitable only for mo-
ving materials with smooth and hermetic surfaces such
as glass sheets, wooden covered panels, metal sheets,
stone materials, tiles.
It is forbidden to move people, animals or dangerous
materials.
The suction cup is meant to be used for hobby purposes.
This manual contains information deemed necessary for
proper use, knowledge and standard product maintenance.
It does not contain information about load moving techniques
for which the user will find more information in books and
specific publications or by attending special training courses.
COMPONENTs
Please refer to figure A and following figures.
1 Hand grip
2 Suction disc
3 Tumbler switch
INsTALLATION
TRANSPORT
When carrying the product, always use its packaging which
will prevent it from damage, dust, dampness and sunlight
which may compromise its regular operation.
SWITCHING ON
! !
WArNINg! The Manufacturer declines any kind of
responsibility for direct and/or indirect damage caused
by the inappropriate use of the product.
When choosing the product use, please verify:
- that the weight, surface finishing and size of the material
to be moved are suitable to be moved with a suction cup;
- that the suction cup is suitable to carry static and dynamic
loads deriving from the movements of the load;
- that the area where the material will be placed is a perfectly
flat and non-slip floor, with suitable resistance;
- that said area has ample operational space free from
obstacles and is equipped with the necessary escape
exits in case of danger.
- that the room should be attended in order to prevent free
access.
- that there is good lighting.
- that the room temperature is between 5° and 40 °C.
Open the packaging and visually check that the product is
intact, without deformations or signs of corrosion.
Move the packaging and carry out a general cleaning of the
product, paying particular attention to the suction cup and
the hand grip.
TEST RUNNING DURING THE 1ST USE
In order to avoid malfunctioning, it is necessary to carry out
a test running by applying the product to a non-dangerous
object with a suitable weight which does not exceed the
maximum capacity, e.g. a small wooden table with 4 legs.
Carefully place the suction cup on the object surface and
press it, close the tumbler switch(es) and raise the load by
1 cm; keep the load raised for a couple of seconds then lay
it on the ground.
If you notice any working defects, do not use the product.

! !
WArNINg! Lay the load on the ground before any
action or verification.
After reading the previous chapters carefully, apply these
tips scrupulously to obtain maximum performance. Proceed
calmly. You will only be able to make full use of the machine’s
potential after gaining sufficient experience.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The suction cup is a device that works thanks to the vacuum
action between the object surface and the gum disc.
The object surface must be perfectly flat, smooth and
hermetic. Therefore objects with surface made of raw
wood, stone, porous or oxidized/bent sheets, cartons etc.
cannot be moved.
The movement can only be carried out by a human.
The movement capacity is solely given by the vacuum pro-
duced by the mechanic action of the tumbler switch which
operates on the gum disc.
LOAD
! !
WArNINg! Please respect all the “Warnings” of
these instructions as to the load limits (type, shape, etc.).
The maximum movable load must be the one specified on
the product.
The load volume must not be excessive and its shape must
be appropriate for a correct manual movement.
Some materials are more dangerous than others because
they are sharp (glass, metal sheets) or fragile (glass, stone);
moreover, the heavier the load, the higher the danger for the
user in the event of falling.
MOVING OPERATIONS
In order to operate correctly, it is necessary to be equipped
with two suctions cup, so that you can hold them with both
hands and move the load more easily.
It is recommended you do not only use one suction cup
because otherwise the load will burden only one arm instead
of two and, with only one hand, you may not be able to
contrast the turning effect caused by the size and weight of
the object (for example a rectangular glass).
Position yourself at a distance from the load, keeping it away
from your body, so that it won’t strike you if it were to fall.
To prevent muscular problems due to an incorrect posture,
try to keep your back straight and avoid leaning forwards,
without losing your balance. Bend your legs, not your back.
1) Check the product.
2) Make sure there are no people or animals in your working
area.
3) Set up the area where you will place your object (for
example a window shutter, the joints of a door etc.)
4) Accurately clean the object surface and the suction
cup(s) with a clean cloth; remove any trace of dust, oil,
grease, liquids.
5) Grab the hand grip of the suction cup, place the gum
disc(s) on the surface and press against it.
6) While pressing, lower the tumbler switcher(s) to generate
vacuuming under the gum disc; this operation must be
carried out for all discs available for the product.
7) Carry out the above mentioned operations also for the
second product.
8) Raise the object slightly and make sure it remains
connected to the suction cups.
9) Move the object while remaining very close to the floor
and place it in its new position.
