Location of the electric vacuum pump
Place the vacuum pump as close to the lifting unit as practically possible in order to
minimise the length of the vacuum hose. If Vaculex TP is to lift loads at high speed,
it is important that the vacuum hose between the vacuum pump and the lifting unit is
not too long. A long vacuum hose reduces the ability of the lifting unit to utilise the
capacity of the vacuum pump. We recommend that the length of the hose between
the vacuum pump and the lifting unit should not exceed 30 m. If you want to use a
longer hose, please contact your supplier.
The vacuum pump should be installed in a well ventilated area considering the
heat given off by the pump. Make sure that the pump is placed with at least 300
mm free space all round, and that there is no risk that any object could block the
ventilation holes of the pump.
If the pump is not installed on the floor, make sure that the pump is adequately
secured to ensure that it can not fall down or tip over.
If the ceiling height is low, the lifting hose may have to be cut
Undo the protective stocking by the control unit,
remove the black tape and unscrew the lifting hose
from the plastic adapter. Measure the amount the
lifting hose has to be shortened to give the Vaculex TP
the correct height above the ground.
1.
Cut the hose and cut the steel wire away.
2. Excess fabric and orange tape should be cut away. By using the procedure
shown in the illustration, you will be able to do this without having the steel wire
escape from the rest of the fabric.
3. Remove app. 20 mm of orange tape around the steel wire.
4. Remove about 2 turns of the white thread around the cut end.
5. Screw the lifting hose back onto the plastic adapter.
6. Then tape around the hose and plastic adapter with fabric reinforced tape, part
no. 700S618. The tape should be tightly stretched.
