1.5 Intended Use
Danger
The lifting device serie VACUMASTER VM-VHB is designed to lift handle boards,
planks and beams up to 6 m long near the ground.
The devices VHB 250 and VHB 500 are intended for handling wood which is
free of cracks. The device VHB 350/500 is also suitable for wood with cracks
(such as from deciduous trees).
The lifting device can be used only when it hangs down vertically.
Transport of persons and animals with the load or the lifting device itself is
forbidden!
Unauthorized alteration of the lifting device is forbidden for safety reasons!
The operating, maintenance and service instructions in this manual must be
observed.
The maximum lifting capacity must not be exceeded.
1.6 Emissions
The equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the device is
below 75 dB(A).
1.7 Special Hazards
Since the load is retained by a vacuum it will fall off as soon as this vacuum is
lost. This happens in a sudden power failure. An integrated storage keeps up
the vacuum for a short safety time.
When power fails immediately put the load down if 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.
1.8 Workplaces
The workplace of the operator is in front of the control handle. Stand in a
position that allows you to keep a constant eye on the vacuum pressure gauge.
1.9 Instructions for the
Operator
As an operator of the lifting device you must be trained before start-up. You
must have read and understood the operating instructions and especially the
chapter "Safety".
Be sure, that only authorized persons use the device. You are responsible for
others in the operating range of the equipment.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. Safety instructions in this
document are complementary to the rules in force and do not supersede the
latter.
1.10 Equipment for
Personal Protection
When operating the device always wear:
safety shoes (with steel top),
tough gloves.
1.11 Behaviour in
Emergencies
An emergency situation exists when
power suddenly fails (device switches off),
the vacuum pressure drops below -0.6 bar to the red section on the scale of
the pressure gauge.
Put the load down immediately if possible. If this is not possible, immediately
leave the dangerous area near the load. It will fall off!

3.4 Suction Pads
Danger
Danger
The suction pads apply the vacuum to the load. They are designed to lift
various items.
To generate vacuum, all suction pads must be attached to the load and must
grip it (Exception: device VHB 350/500).
The device VHB 350/500 is suitable for wood with cracks (such as that from
deciduous trees). This is achieved by means of automatic flow valves operating
together with the suction pads which automatically detect when the necessary
underpressure cannot be established. Each suction pad is divided into two
independent sections. If one of these sections is not covered by the workpiece,
or if there is too much air leaking into it as the result of damage or cracks, the
related flow valve closes to prevent the vacuum in the system from breaking
down. In this case, the admissible lifting capacity is reduced to 350 kg.
3.5 Main Rail
The main rail is firmly mounted to the unit´s body with to screws.
The holders of the suction pads are mounted on the main rail. Also the main
rail is used as an vacuum storage.
A non-return valve, screwed in the main rail, ensures that the vacuum does not
degrease suddenly, even if the power fails.

7.3 Vacuum Pump
See Operating instructions of the vacuum pump (appendix).
7.4 Suction Pads /
Seals
Remove items and contaminations such as adhesives, glue, saw dust, dust etc.
sticking to the seals at least once a week. Use glycerine to clean the seals.
Immediately replace damaged seals (tears, holes, waves).
7.5 Oil and Water
Separator
Danger
Check the oil and water separator at least once a week.
Let out the condensation water regularly and clean the sintered filter. If the sintered
filter is very dirty, it should be replaced.
Caution: if the oil and water separator is very dirty, the vacuum at the suction pads
differs from that at the warning device.
The oil and water separator must therefore be cleaned regularly in order to ensure
safe operation of the lifting device.
Do not allow dust to enter into the suction opening when you take out the filter
cartridge.
7.6 Leak Test
Danger
Check the device for leaks once per month.
Place the suction pads on an airtight, smooth surface such as a sheet of
metal.
Switch on the vacuum generation.
Move the manual slide valve to the position "Grip" to grip the workpiece. Switch
off any suction pads which are not in contact with the workpiece.
Caution: simply grip the workpiece without lifting it, since it may drop from the
suction pads during the test.
Wait until a vacuum of about –0.7 bar is reached.
Switch off the pump and check that the vacuum does not drop by more
than 0.1 bar within 5 minutes.
If the vacuum pressure drops faster, check:
the suction pads, seals, hoses, connections for damage or leaks,
whether the oil and water separator is dirty or blocked; if so, clean or replace it.
7.7 Inspection by a
Qualified Person
Accident prevention rules require a yearly inspection of lifting device and crane by
a qualified person.
