Safety at work

•
The use of the vacuum lifting device is only permitted in proximity to the ground. In hoist operation:
The suctioned load must be lowered immediately after picking up (e.g. from a pallet or a truck) to just
above the ground (approx. 20 - 30 cm).
The load must then be secured by the load securing chain and may only then be transported to the
installation site. To transport the load, lift it only as high as necessary (recommended approx. 0.5 m
above the ground).
It is forbidden to swivel the device over persons. Danger to life!
•
The manual guiding of is only allowed for devices with handles.
•
The operator is not allowed to leave the control unit as long as the vacuum lifting device loaded with
load (stone slab). The load must always be in the range of vision of the operator.
•
Always keep an eye on the vacuum gauge. Never lift loads when the vacuum is below the required under
pressure (mbar). If the pointer of the pressure gauge moves into the red danger zone, lower the load
immediately! Danger! Load could fall down!
•
While using the vacuum lifting device is the stay of persons in the working area forbidden. Except it is
indispensable. Caused of the way of using the vacuum lifting device , e.g. if the device must be leaded by
hand.
•
While using the vacuum lifting device be sure that there are no persons in the working area. Danger to
Life!!
•
The device must never be subjected to a force acting in a lateral direction due to diagonal pulling.
•
Do not lift any components off-centre, because that could fall down. Danger of tilting!
•
Release the load only when it is completely safely resting on the surface. Keep fingers away from the
load when you release it as they can be crushed!
•
The capacity and the nominal width the vacuum lifting device are not allowed to cross over.
•
Do not use the vacuum lifting device to jerk seized set down load.
•
Jerking up or down of the unit with or without load is prohibited! Unnecessary vibrations must be
avoided. As well as fast driving with the carrier/ hoist over uneven terrain! Danger to life/accident: The
load could fall or the load handling attachment could be damaged! As a general rule, only drive at
walking speed with the lifted load!
