Safety
2.5.1
Special Hazards
•
The operating range has to be covered for unauthorized persons, especially children.
•
The workplace has to be sufficiently illuminated.
•
Take care when handling wet, dirty and not solidified components.
•
•
•
The working with the vacuum lifting device in case of atmospheric editions under 3° C (37,5°) F is
forbidden!
•
Take care in case of thunderstorm!
•
Since the load is held on the suction plates of the unit by a vacuum, it will fall off as soon as this
•
vacuum is lost (e.g. energy failure).
•
•
This can happen if the vacuum generator fails. An integrated vacuum reservoir maintains the
•
vacuum for a short safety period whose duration depends on the porosity of the work piece
•
•
If the vacuum generator fails, lower the load immediately if this is possible. Otherwise, leave the
danger area below the load immediately.
•
The unit draws in large amounts of air and hair and items of clothing can be drawn into the air inlet.
Do not look into the air inlet when the unit is running: it is even possible for your eyes to be drawn
into the air inlet.
2.5.2

The operator staff must have all the necessary qualifications.
•
Take care that the maximum capacity of the hydraulic excavator and other lifting equipments is not
exceeded.
2.6
Workplaces
•
The workplace of the operator is in front of the operator handle.
•
The operator must stand so that he can see the vacuum gauge at all times.
2.6.1
Inspecting the vacuum hoses and hose clamps
•
Check that all vacuum hoses and hose clamps are securely seated. Tighten any loose
connections.
2.6.2
