Adjusting the Vacuum Pad Positions
In order to adapt the clamping surfaces to the size of a panel and to optimally adjust the load distribution, the
four outer of the six vacuum pads can be moved in their positions. In addition, the distance between the two
vacuum pad support rails (
R1
) and (
R2
) can be adjusted by means of a hole grid.
Figure 19: Adjusting the vacuum pad positions
•
Open the clamping handles (
K
) to move
the outer four vacuum pads in the di-
rections of the arrows.
•
By pulling the locking bolt (
R1
), the
mounting rail (
S1
) can be adjusted in
the hole grid of 100 mm in the direction
of the arrow shown.
•
By pulling the locking bolt (
R2
), the
mounting rail (
S2
) can be adjusted in
the hole grid of 100 mm in the direction
of the arrow shown.
•
Adjust the vacuum pads in such a way
that an optimal load distribution is en-
sured (see
•
After adjustment, retighten all clamping handles and engage the locking bolts in position.

Measures after Operation
•
After switching off the main switch (
1
), clean all contact surfaces of the vacuum pads.
•
After parking the Mobile Lifter, both parking brakes of the rear castors must be tightened.
•
If necessary, recharge the supply batteries with the battery charger (for details, see section
and place the radio remote control in the charging station to charge it (see section
Remark:
Charging operation is also possible with the main switch turned off.
In addition, the Mobile Lifter must be secured against unauthorised use by one of the following means:
•
Lock the Mobile Lifter away or park it in such a way that unauthorised persons cannot access it.
•
Secure the Mobile Lifter with a lock chain or wire rope to prevent unauthorised movement.
•
Store the radio remote control in a safe place or lock it away.
•
Attach a prohibition sign to the Mobile Lifter to prevent unauthorised use.
•
Remove the main switch handle (see next section
11.13.1
Pulling off the Main Switch Handle
To prevent unauthorised use of the Mobile Lifter, the rotary handle of the main switch (
1
) can be pulled off.
The procedure is as follows:
Figure 20: Securing the main switch
•
Turn the main switch handle counterclockwise
to the
“
OFF
”
position
(see
•
Then turn the main switch handle again by approx. 45° in the same
direction
(against a slight resistance).
•
Then the main switch handle can be removed to the front.
To replace the main switch handle, the previous procedure is carried out in
reverse. After the coded attachment, the main switch handle must be
pressed against the housing before it is turned to the right
.

When the Mobile Lifter has finished operating, any panel material that has been clamped on must
be released from the vacuum and removed. Then turn the main switch to the
“

position .
The Mobile Lifter should not be used while the battery unit is charging .
