1.7.2 Workplace requirements
The operator’s workplace is in front of the control handle. It must be ensured that the operator can

Provide internal instructions and conduct checks to ensure that the area around the workplace is
always clean and tidy.

Damage to or destruction of the vacuum generator

1.8 Definition of the danger zone
The danger zone is the area in the vicinity of working equipment which poses
a hazard to the safety of persons located within it.
The danger zone of the vacuum tube lifter
J
UMBO
(see red hatched area) is
beneath the gripper and load and also directly above the gripper and operator
handle.
When lifting or transporting the load, it is possible that the load and parts of
the vacuum tube lifter
J
UMBO
will fall or drop quickly or that the gripper will
become detached from the load and spring upward.
In the event that the load falls, the danger zone greatly depends on the type
of load and the transport height. Loads should therefore be carried as close
to the ground as possible.
WARNING
Risk of injury from falling objects
- In the event of vacuum failure
- In the event of a collision, causing the load to break off
- In the event of component failure resulting from overload or unauthorized
modifications
There is a risk that people in the vicinity could be hit, causing death or
serious injury!
►
No person may sit or stand in the danger zone of the system.
►
Only work when you have a good view of the entire working area.
►
Pay attention to other people in the working area.
►
Never transport the load above people.
►
The swiveling point of the load must always be located within the working area
of the jib crane.
►
Never release the control handle of the tube lifter while lifting a load.
►
The working area must be secured by the operator. The persons/equipment
necessary to secure this area must be present during the lifting/transportation
process.
