Braking
•
When the speed regulator is released, the window robot brakes and stops. Releasing the speed
regulator slowly can produce gentle braking. This is the normal way of braking.
•
When the operating arm is released, the transport truck stops suddenly and the parking brake kicks
in. This function is only intended to be used in a situation when the user wants to stop the truck as
quickly as possible.
Note!
To maximise the service life of the WinLet 350, it is recommended to release the speed
regulator first, and only to release the operating arm once the machine has stopped.
•
When driving with lifted items, all lifting cylinders must always be in the inner position.
Manual pull/push of the machine in the event of breakdown of the electrical
drive
The electrically-powered drive shaft, which drives the front wheel-set of the machine, can be disengaged in
the brake. This is useful in the event of a breakdown of the machine, and requires 2 operators.
•
Remove the protective screen of the machine
•
Disconnect the drive shaft brake, as illustrated below
Lifting and handling
Vacuum lift
The WinLet 350 is equipped with an integrated
double-circuit
vacuum system with intelligent vacuum
monitoring, which gives an alarm to indicate insufficient vacuum level. The vacuum pump is equipped with
Power Save, to save the batteries when there is sufficient vacuum.
Using the vacuum function:
Start the WinLet 350 with the on/off button. Press both buttons for the vacuum function on the operating
panel and wait a moment until both red LED lamps go out. During this time, a vacuum of at least 60% has
been created in the vacuum system.
Picking up a load.
Place the suction plates on the item. Press both buttons at the same time on the operating panel. The item
has been attached by suction once both vacuum meters show more than 60% and the red lamps have gone
out; only then can lifting and transporting proceed!
!
Make sure the vacuum level is above 60% in both circuits.
!
Always lift the item at its centre of gravity and in the centre; otherwise, the item may tear
free from the suction plates.
Conveying of load.
After attaching the item by suction, move the item to the desired position by driving the WinLet 350.
