The load (stone slabs) which is to be sucked and
transported, must have sufficient inherent stability,
otherwise there is risk of breakage when lifting!
Stone slabs must not be bend when lifting -
especially take
care with thin and large-sized stone slabs!
Generally, the load (stones slab) is only to be sucked in the
middle, otherwise the load hangs diagonally under the
device and the load could break - especially when lifting
large stone slabs with a small suction plate.
Standard suction plates are not suitable for the transport of
glass plates!

5.2.2
Operating lever
Attention
The operating lever is used for releasing the load by opening the venting valve.
This lever may be actuated only when the load is resting on a solid surface.
When the lever is actuated, the
vacuum is released immediately and the unit can be
lifted off the workpiece.
5.2.3
Vacuum generator
The vacuum is generated by an electrically driven blower.
5.2.4
Suction pads
Danger
The suction pads are designed to lift various items. Only items with
smooth, air-tight
surfaces are suitable for vacuum lifting.
To generate vacuum, the suction pad must be in contact with and attached to the
load.
The suction pad must always be positioned in the centre of the workpiece in order to
ensure even distribution
of the load. If the suction pad is positioned off-centre, the
workpiece may suddenly drop from the unit during lifting and lowering operations,
since the load is then one
-sided.

Safety Instructions
The ground or floor in the working area should by clean and dry or rough enough
to ensure that the operating personnel cannot slip.
The device is
intended only for manual transport of paving stones or slabs. Never
suspend it from a crane or mechanical shovel, etc.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. The following safety instructions
supplement the local regulations and do not supersede t
hem:
Wear safety shoes, gloves and ear protection.
Never exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the device.
Do not stand below the load. Always keep clear of the load.
Never carry people or animals with the load or the lifting device itself!
Operate only when you can view the entire working area. Look out for other
persons in the working area. Never manoeuvre loads above people.
Do not release the handles while a load is attached.
Do not pull loads to the side or drag them along with the lifting device.
If the load has become jammed, do not attempt to tear it free with the lifting
device.
In the case of a fault in the vacuum generator, lower the load immediately if
possible. Immediately leave the danger area near the load.
Pick up and lift only appropriate loads (check for stability and porosity).
Always keep an eye on the vacuum gauge. Never lift loads when the vacuum is
below –
200 mbar. If the pointer of the pressure gauge moves into the red danger
zone, lower the load immediately.
Place workpieces only on
clear, level surfaces, since they may otherwise slide away
when released.
Release the load only when it has been fully lowered to the ground. Do not reach
under the load when lowering it, since serious injuries may result!
Always distribute load evenly on the suction surfaces.
Ensure that the vacuum generator cannot be switched off while transporting
loads.
Check all suction hoses and clamps for proper installation and tighten the clamps if
necessary.
If you set down the unit with the motor running, take care not to place it on an
airtight surface, since this will block the flow of cooling air. Instead, place the unit
on a support (such as a block of wood).
Always switch off the unit if you do not intend to use it again within two minutes

Lifting, Tran
sporting
and Lowering Loads
The following operating steps must be checked by a qualified mechanic prior to use of
the device by the operating personnel. Correct any faults before the device is used.
7.2.1
Lifting Loads
Switch the blower on.
Position the lifting device directly above the load. Do not pull to the sides.
Distribute load evenly.
Lower the lifting device onto the load.
The suction pad grips the load.
Watch the pressure gauge. As soon as a vacuum pressure of -
200 mbar has been
reached (pointer
of the vacuum gauge is in the green range) you can lift the load.
Never attempt to lift the load with a lower vacuum since it will be dropped.
When lifting items from a stack, ensure that only one piece is actually lifted.
The duty cycle (lifting/venting) should not exceed 2/3 to 1/3.
Maximum lifting period 30 seconds, followed by 15 seconds with inlet free.
7.2.2
Transporting Loads
Avoid jerky movement of the load.
The operator who actuates the operating lever must always inform the second
operator clearly and
unambiguously of his intended actions.
7.2.3
Lowering Loads
Lower the load to a safe and clear, level surface so the load cannot slip or tip over.
Pull the operating lever to release the load.
7.3
Handle height
adjustment
The operator handles can be adjusted for operators of differing heights. This may be
done only when the device is resting on the ground.
Remove the spring clips, move the pins to the desired position and secure the pins
again with the spring clips.
