3.1 Authorized inset
Prohibition
●The device is only designed for the use specified in this documentation.
●Every other use is not authorized and is forbidden!
●All relevant safety regulations, especially regulations of the declaration of conformity, and
additional local health and safety regulations have to be observed.
The FTZ-I is universal usable for gripping and moving customary prefabricated concrete products, with clean
gripping surface; like steps, kerbs (also natural kerbs), as well as “Kassler Bord” (Bus- and Train-profil-
stones) and so on. Connected with lifting equipment e.g. a excavator or a crane.
The FTZ-I is universal usable because of the great opening width and a high carrying capacity.
Look at the technical data list for details.
This device is series-produced equipped with
the following elements:
•universal adjustable opening range
•eyelet for the crane-hook
•automatic release
•exchangeable grip-elements (rubber metal-rail).
●The opening range of the FTZ-I can be regulated universal over the spring bolt.
●The FTZ-I is equipped with a automatic release to switching full automatically from “full onto empty”
(grip and to loosen of the gripping goods). That means the opening and closing of the gripper be caused
through the set down and the heave of the device.
The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground.

Prior to every operation the user must ensure that:
●the equipment is suited to the intended operation,
●the functioning and the working condition of the equipment is examined,
●the loads are suitable to be handled.
Any doubts about instructions should be raised with the manufacturer prior to use.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSPORTIONS:
All unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment
could cause danger and are therefore forbidden!!
The carrying capacity and the nominal width the device are not allowed to cross over.
All unauthorized transportations with the device are not allowed!
●Transportation of people and animals.
●Transportation of other loads and material than described in this
manual.
●Gripping of gripping goods with packaging foil, because they
could fall down.
●Transportation of non rectangular and round gripping goods,
because they could fall down. ÎÎÎ
●(Transportation of material with “feet”, “bellies” and “blind
spacers”.)

3.4 Explanation of basic concepts
●Gripping range: specify the minimum and maximum product measurements of the gripping good,
which can be gripped with this device.
●Gripping good (s): is the product, which will be gripped or transported.
●Opening range/
Opening width:
consists of the gripping range and the measure to drive over the gripping good.
gripping range + measure to drive over the gripping good = gripping range
●Immersion depth: is the maximum gripping height of gripping goods, conditional of the height of the
gripping arms of the device.
●Device: is the description for the gripping device.
●Product dimensions: Are the dimensions of the gripping good (e.g. length, breadth, height
of the product).
●Dead weight: is the own weight (without gripping good) of the device.
●Load capacity: specify the maximum possible load of the device (lifting of gripping goods).
3.5 Definition skilled worker / specialist
Only skilled workers or specialists is it allowed to carry out the installation,- maintenance, - and repair work
on these device!
Skilled workers or specialists must have for the following points (if it
applies for these device), the necessary professional knowledge.
●for mechanic
●for hydraulics
●for pneumatics
●for electrics

6.1 Adjustment of the opening range
Before the product can be lifted and transported, the gripping range has to be adjusted to the
dimensions of the product.
Attention
Attention
Danger
●The adjustment of the gripping range may never take place on both sides at the same time.
Always adjust the gripping range first to the one and then on the other side.
●Pull the spring bolt upwards, rotate around 180° and lock in position (in nick).
●Move the rectangular tube, until the gripping range is approx. 5 cm larger than the product.
●Pull the spring bolt back up again and rotate around 180°.
●Move the rectangular tube so long until the spring bolt engages in one of the holes.
●The adjustment of the gripping range has to follow general symmetrical.
That means, it must be used in each case the same adjustable hole with both rectangular
tubes.
●Caution while adjusting of the gripping range.
There is a danger of injuring the hands!

7.1 Operating for devices with automatic release
●The device is connected to the lifting equipment.
●Before lifting the device, the opening width have
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!
