Use the operator handle only to guide the lifting device; avoid swiveling or tilting movements with the op-
erator handle.
•
Do not lift, drag or pull loads at an angle.

Never handle a load with more than one lifting device.
Always guide and handle the lifting device at an ergonomic working height.
7.1.5 What to Do in an Emergency
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to emergency situation!
Immediately inform all persons in the vicinity of the danger zone.
Do not enter the danger zone.
If possible, set down the load safely.
The following situations constitute an emergency:
•
Vacuum generation fails, e.g. due to power failure.
•
Leakage occurs, e.g. due to a detached hose.
•
A collision occurs.
•
During handling, the vacuum falls into the red section of the gauge:
– Vacuum falls below -0.2 bar
If the load securing chain is strained due to a falling load, have the load securing chain inspected profes-
sionally and replace if necessary.
Damaged load securing chains may not be used.
7.2 Checks before Starting Work
1. Ensure that the energy supply is operating reliably.
2. Inspect safety features.
3. Check device functions.
7.3 Handling moist loads
The lifting device is not intended for and not suitable for lifting moist loads.
NOTE
Risk of vacuum pump failure due to moisture.
Before attaching to the load, remove water from the suction area.
Before switching on the vacuum generator when the venting flap is open (pull and hold the
control lever (8)), let it run for at least 1 minute.
