1.7.1 Installation location requirements
The vacuum tube lifter JUMBOFLEX must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Non explosion-proof switching components
Risk of fire and explosion.
Product must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The tube lifter Jumbo must not be used in areas with acidic or basic materials or in contaminated
atmospheres.
With electrical vacuum generation, the vacuum tube lifter JUMBO can be operated in rooms with an
ambient temperature of between +0°C and +40°C; with pneumatic vacuum generation, the room must
have an ambient temperature of between +0°C and +50°C.
Damage to the tube lifter due to use outside of the permitted temperature
range
If the tube lifter is used outside of the permitted temperature range, it
will become damaged and fail.
Only use the tube lifter at the permitted ambient temperature.
Before operating outside of the permitted temperature range, outside of closed
rooms or in an environment with an aggressive atmosphere, consult with the
manufacturer.
It must be ensured that the vacuum tube lifter JUMBO is operated only with crane systems/hoists that
are in perfect working order and have the necessary specifications for the particular load.
Danger due to falling objects
These can result in death or serious injury
If loads are lifted higher than 1.8 m at their center of gravity, special additional
safeguards must be implemented in the surrounding area.
Wear on load-bearing parts of the tube lifter caused by abrasive particles
in the intake air (e.g. ceramic dust, abrasive substances, etc.)
Risk of injury from falling objects
Regularly inspect wear on the rotary union (see chapter 9.3).
