2.5 Environmental and Operating Conditions
The lifting device must
not
be operated under the following conditions:
•
In potentially explosive atmospheres
•
In environments with acidic or alkaline media
•
Over 1600 m above sea level (the required minimum vacuum cannot be achieved).
CAUTION
Dangerous gases, vapors or dusts are sucked in and dispersed by the vacuum gen-
erator.
Difficulty breathing.
4
Before commencing work, ensure that the ambient air does not contain any hazardous
substances.
4
Make sure that there are no hazardous substances on the load that can be sucked in.
CAUTION
Blockage of the vacuum system from sucking in liquids
Risk of injury from falling load!
4
Do not pick up liquids or bulk materials.
4
Observe the gauge and the signal from the warning device.
4
If the suction of liquids cannot be avoided, use a water separator (contact Schmalz ser-
vice).
The lifting device VacuMaster may only be operated under the following conditions:
•
Temperature range from 0 °C to +40 °C.
•
Maximum relative humidity 90 %.
•
The environment must be free from humidity, moisture, dirt, dust, oil or other climatic conditions
that may reduce friction levels.
•
The lifting device VacuMaster must be sufficiently dimensioned for the loads to be lifted.
4
If in doubt, consult Schmalz before the start of operations.
