NOTE
If no constant vacuum is achieved, you must test
the function of the suction lifter on a flat, clean
and grease-free pane of glass. If the function of
the suction lifter is perfect on the test surface,
then the suction surface of your load capacity is
not suitable.
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the load falling due
to low vacuum!
Carefully check the position of the coloured
¡
ring (C) or the pressure gauge (C) reading
during the suction process.
Never mount the suction lifter if the load is
¡
moving.
Lifting, Carrying, Holding
The suction lifter should only be used for lifting,
carrying or holding objects for a short period of
time. You must regularly check and guarantee the
firm hold of the suction lifter for longer operating
times.
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the load falling.
A reduction in the load capacity through
to a premature release of the load may
occur when moving the load due to a loss of
vacuum!
The load must not exceed the specified load
¡
capacity.
Never move loads carried by the suction lifter
¡
over people.
Avoid exerting lateral pressure to the suction
¡
pad when carrying the load.
Make sure that the coloured ring is not visible
¡
while carrying the load.
You can read the vacuum on the vacuum
¡
indicator on product variants with a pressure
gauge.
The holding capacity must be restored
¡
through additional pumping in the event of
reduced vacuum.
20
Never activate the release devices when
¡
carrying the load.
WARNING
There is a risk of tripping or slipping when
lifting, moving and setting down the load and
thus a loss of control over the tool and load!
Wear safety shoes.
Wear robust protective gloves.
Wear close-fitting, tear-resistant work
clothing.
Release
Make sure that the raised load is well
¡
secured when setting it down.
Activate the venting valve (B) until the
¡
vacuum is completely released.
Only then take the suction lifter off the
¡
suction surface.
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by the load falling,
tipping over or rolling away. Unexpected
movements of the load may occur when
setting down and releasing the load!
NOTE
If the rubber pad remains stuck to the object to
be carried, raise the rubber pad on the side with a
finger so that air can get underneath it. This effect
occasionally occurs with new rubber pads and will
not impair the function.
WARNING
Damage to the rubber pad. Improper
loosening of the rubber pad will render it
unserviceable.
