General
2.1
Authorized use
The “Vacuum Hand Laying Device
SPEEDY VS-140”is designed for lifting and moving stone and concrete slabs.
Operation requires two pers
ons.
The maximum lifting capacity must not be exceeded.
The l” Vacuum Hand Laying Device” may be used only in vertical position.
Transport of persons and animals with the load or the “Vacuum Hand Laying Device” itself is forbidden!
Unauthorised modificatio
n of the lifting device is forbidden for safety reasons!
The operating, maintenance and service instructions in this manual must be observed.
Retrofit parts
-The use of the „Vacuum Hand Laying Device SPEEDY VS-140“at a lifting equipment (e.g. excavator) is
only allowed with the installed retrofit part „Lifting eye with safety chain – VS-XL-EH“.
-When laying large stone slabs up to 1,2 m (47 “) the extended handles „VS-XL-HG“ should be used (in
manual operation by 2 people, and in one-man operation with a lifting equipment), so that the feet are
outside of the danger zone.
-The quick-change suction plate (VS-SWV-SPS-50-30 / 25) is on the one hand a suction plate, as well as a
quick-change adapter. Either to carry small stones weighing up to 50 kg or to be able to quickly switch
between other Speedy suction pads.
-Retrofit kit (VS-GH-SPS) for quick changing of existing Speedy suction plates (this is only possible in
conjunction with the Speedy-mounted quick-change suction plate VS-SWV-SPS-50-30 / 25).

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, corresponding legal regulations, especially regulations of the declaration
of conformity, and additional local health and safety regulations have to be observed.
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, and the load is suitable to be handled.
Any doubts about ins
tructions should be raised with the manufacturer prior to use.
ATTENTIO
N: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground.
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations
of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
danger and are therefore
forbidden!
Never exceed the
carrying capacity and the nominal width/nominal size of the device.
All unauthorized transportatio
ns with the device are not allowed:
Transportation of people and animals.
Transportation of other loads and materials than described in this manual.
Never suspend any goods with ropes, chains or similar at the device.

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!
Only
suction plates of the manufacturer PROBST shall be used!!!
·Some suction plates which can be mounted to the device will reduce its carrying capacity.
The maximum load is indicated on each suction plate.
·Use only suction plates which are approved for this device!
Do not exceed
the maximum carrying capacity of the suction plates!
Danger: Load
(stone slabs) will fall down!

3 Safety
3.1
Instructions for the
Owner
The lifting devices
SPEEDY VS series are manufactured according to current technical
standards and are safe. Nevertheless, t
hey will present hazards
if they are not operated by qualified or at least trained staff,
if they are used contrary to the approved applications.
This may result in
injuries to or death of operators and other persons,
damage to lifting device and other valuable goods.
3.2
Instructions for the
Installation,
Maintenance and
Operating Personnel
The device must be installed and maintained by qualified personnel, mechanics and
electricians.
Each person in your company involved in the installation, commissioning
, operation,
maintenance or repair of the device
must have read and understood these operating instructions
and especially the chapter "Safety" herein.
Your company must ensure by internal measures
that the operators of the lifting device are properly trained,
that they have read and understood the operating instructions,
that the operating instructions are available to them at all times.
The responsibilities for the tasks carried out with the device must be clearly defined
and observed. Ambiguity regarding
responsibilities must not exist.
3.3 Hazard Alert Symbols
Danger
Attention
Prohibition
Danger to life!
Identifies imminent hazard. If you do not avoid the hazard, death or severe injury will
result.
Hazardous situation!
Identifies a potentially hazardous situation. If you do not avoid the situation, injury or
damage to property can result.
Prohibition!
Identifies imminent a prohibition. If you do not avoid the prohibition, death and severe
injury, or damage to property will result.
3.4
Installation Site
Requirements
The lifting device may not be operated in rooms which contain explosive atmospheres.
The ambient temperature of 40 °C must not be exceeded.
Ensure by internal instructions and checks that the installation site is always kept
clean and
tidy.
3.5
Emissions
The equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the device is
approx. 80 dB(A).
3.6
Special Hazards
Danger
Since the load is held by a vacuum, it will fall off as soon as this vacuum is lost.
This can happen if the vacuum generator
fails.
If the vacuum generator fails, lower the load immediately if this is possible.
If this is not possible, immediately leave the dangerous area near the load.
The device generates a very strong suction which can draw in hair and clothing. Do not
look
into the suction opening when the device is switched on. Parts of body can be
sucked in.

3.7
Workplaces
The device is operated always by two persons. The workplace of the operators is in
front of the control handles.
Stand so that you can constantly observe
the vacuum gauge.
3.8
Instructions for the
Operator
As an operator of the lifting device, you must be trained before you start to use the
device. You must have read and understood the operating instructions and especially
the chapter "Safety".
Ensure that only authorised persons use the device. You are responsible for others in
the operating range of the equipment.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. The safety instructions in this document
complement these local regulations and do not supersede t
hem.
3.9
Equipment for
Personal Protection
When operating the device always wear:
safety shoes (with steel toecaps),
tough gloves.
3.10
Behaviour in
Emergencies
Danger
An emergency situation exists when
power suddenly fails (device switches off),
the vacuum pressure drops in the red danger zone on the scale of the vacuum
gauge.
Lower the load immediately if possible. If this is not possible, immediately leave the
dangerous area near the load, since it will be dropped from the device.
3.11
Checking the Safety
Devices
The lifting device is equipped with following safety device:
vacuum gauge with red danger zone
Check this device at the beginning of each shift (when operating in shifts) or once a
week (when operating continually).
3.12 Checking the vacuum
gauge
Switch
on the lifting device.
Place the lifting device on a flat floor and apply vacuum.
When the vacuum has built up, the pointer of the vacuum gauge must reach a vacuum
of at least
-0,2 bar.
3.13
Cleaning the air filter
Inspect the air filter at least once per week
and clean it (by blowing out the dirt) as
necessary.
Attention
If the air filter is dirty, the manometer will show a higher value than is actually available
at the suction plates.
The air filter must therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly in o
rder to maintain
the operational safety of the device.
Correct any faults before using the device.
If faults occur during operation, switch the device off and correct the faults before
continuing work with the
device.
