Safety during operation
2.9.1 General
•
This appliance may only be used at ground level!
In hoist operation: The load must be lowered to just above the ground (approx. 0.5 m)
immediately after being picked up (e.g. from a pallet or truck). The load must then be
secured by the load securing chain and only then may it be transported to the installation
point. Only lift the load as high as necessary for transportation (recommendation approx. 0.5
m above the ground). Do not swing the appliance over people. Danger to life!
•
Manual guidance is only permitted for devices with handles
•
The operator must not leave the control position while the device is loaded and must always keep
an eye on the load.
•
The operator must always keep an eye on the pressure gauge to check whether a vacuum vacuum
is present during the suction process. If no vacuum vacuum is displayed, Set the load down
immediately. Load will fall down → Risk of injury!
•
Persons are not permitted in the work area during operation! Unless it is absolutely necessary. Due
to the way the appliance is used, e.g. by manually guiding the appliance (by handles).
•
Standing under a suspended load is prohibited. Danger to life!
•
Never pull or drag loads at an angle.
•
Never suction the load off-center, otherwise there is a risk of tipping.
•
Only remove the load from the suction plate when it is completely and securely on the floor or
stationary. Keep your fingers away from the load when releasing it. Risk of crushing!
•
Do not exceed the load-bearing capacity and nominal widths/nominal sizes of the device
•
Do not use the device to pull off fixed loads.
•
Jerky lifting or lowering of the appliance with or without a load is prohibited!
•
Avoid unnecessary vibrations. The same applies to driving quickly with the carrier/lifting gear over
uneven terrain!
•
Danger to life: Load could fall down or load handling attachments could be damaged!
In general, only drive at walking speed with the load lifted!
