5Operation and Adjusting
5.1 Adjustment gripping range
Adjust the device (SRZ-M) over the gripping range adjustment in compliance with the dimensions of the
gripping good (hollow slope block).
●Remove both wing nuts (1) and pull the threaded bolts (2) out.
●Move the gripping arm (3) to the corresponding hole in the gripping range adjustment (4).
●The adjustment of the gripping range must be always symmetrical on both sides. Otherwise the device hang
inclined.
●Insert the threaded bolts (2) and fasten the wing nuts (1) again.
●Both adjusting chains (5) must be tightening taut when the device (SRZ-M) stands without a gripping good
(“empty”) on the ground. The rubber grippers (6) should be in rectangular position (approx.) to the ground.
The adjusting chains (5) must be fit each with the same chain link, so that both have the same length
5.2 Adjustment handle
The handle (for 2-man operation) can be rotated round 90°.
●Remove the splint pin (A) and pull the socket pin (B) out.
●Remove the handle (C), rotate it round 90° and set it in again.
●Stick the socket pin (B) in again and secure it with the splint pin (A).
Danger of squeezing the hands during adjustments on the device!

5.3 One-man operation
●The device is connected to the lifting equipment/support frame (e.g. excavator).
●Before lifting the device, the gripping range has to be adjusted.
●The device is placed over the product, set down, the device closes round the product and it can be lifted.
●Set down on the ground again, the device opens automatically, the automatic release locks it into position so that the
device can be lifted without closing up.
●Placed over the next product, the automatic release disengages itself and the product can be lifted.
●The device therefore is a ONE-MAN-MACHINE.
Shut-down the device without lifting equipment/support frame only on even ground. The gripping arms must
be opened enough, to ensure a secure standing of the device. Otherwise exists danger of overturning!
The device is mounted with a automatic release, that means the opening and closing of the gripping arms results through
the set down and lifting of the device.
