GLASS-Jack GL-N 400/300 amounts to < 70 dB (A), vibrations are < 2,5 m/s

,
which means that special protective measures are not required.
Operating restrictions result from the limited Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS
®
GLASS-
Jack GL-N 400/300 (see section 2.3 Symbols and markings) as well as the performance da-
ta, the operating conditions of the used crane and the conditions of the construction site. Fur-
thermore, you have to regard the fact that the manipulated elements have to have sufficient
inherent stability and are suitable to be installed with a vacuum lifting device (if necessary
consult with the manufacturer of the elements).
Due to the broad variety of elements with many different surface coatings offered on the
market we cannot assume liability in case of possible material incompatibilities between suc-
tion rubber and surface coating.
The maximum Working Load Limit stipulated on the OKTOPUS
®
only applies to the use of
the original suction pads and a working height of maximum 400 m above sea level. Employ-
ing the OKTOPUS
®
in heights above 400 m leads to a decreased Working Load Limit of the
OKTOPUS
®
on the one hand, on the other hand the OKTOPUS
®
control system needs to be
adjusted. If you want to employ the OKTOPUS
®
in heights above 400 m, please contact the
Wirth Service Team beforehand.
When operating the OKTOPUS
®
at heights above 400 m the Working Load
Limit is reduced! The Working Load Limits stipulated on the OKTOPUS
®
and in this operating manual do not apply in this case!
Never perform any unauthorized adjustments at the control system of the
OKTOPUS
®
; this may lead to severe malfunction of the device! Danger to
limb and life! Consult with the OKTOPUS
®
manufacturer if it is necessary to
adjust the control system of the OKTOPUS
®
, e.g. to perform a height ad-
justment.
2.6 Transport and storage
The OKTOPUS
®
may only be moved with a suitable hoist/means of transport with appropri-
ate Working Load Limit.
For transport purposes take the OKTOPUS
®
out of operation by sliding the
switch “Suction/Release” to position “Release”!
Protect the rubber lip of the suction pads with protective cowls from dirt
and damage!
In order to avoid damage due to deep discharge the batteries during stor-
age, the OKTOPUS
®
has to be charged at least every two weeks.
