The maximum lifting capacity must not be exceeded.
The l” Vacuum Hand Laying Device” may be used only in vertical position.
Transport of persons and animals with the load or the “Vacuum Hand Laying Device” itself is forbidden!
Unauthorised modificatio
The operating, maintenance and service instructions in this manual must be observed.
Retrofit parts
- The use of the „Vacuum Hand Laying Device SPEEDY VS-140“ at a lifting equipment (e.g. excavator) is
only allowed with the installed retrofit part „Lifting eye with safety chain – VS-XL-EH“.
- When laying large stone slabs up to 1,2 m (47 “) the extended handles „VS-XL-HG“ should be used (in
manual operation by 2 people, and in one-man operation with a lifting equipment), so that the feet are
outside of the danger zone.
- The quick-change suction plate (VS-SWV-SPS-50-30 / 25) is on the one hand a suction plate, as well as a
quick-change adapter. Either to carry small stones weighing up to 50 kg or to be able to quickly switch
between other Speedy suction pads.
- Retrofit kit (VS-GH-SPS) for quick changing of existing Speedy suction plates (this is only possible in
conjunction with the Speedy-mounted quick-change suction plate VS-SWV-SPS-50-30 / 25).

Never carry people or animals with the load or the lifting device itself!
Operate only when you can view the entire working area. Look out for other

Do not release the handles while a load is attached.
Do not pull loads to the side or drag them along with the lifting device.
If the load has become jammed, do not attempt to tear it free with the lifting
device.
In the case of a fault in the vacuum generator, lower the load immediately if
possible. Immediately leave the danger area near the load.

Immediately replace damaged seals (tears, holes, waves).
Do not use petrol (gasoline).
Use cleaning agent to clean the device (do not use petrol (gasoline) or aggressive or
corrosive fluids to clean the device. The hoses will otherwise become leaky or be
destroyed).
Suction plates must always be replaced completely. The bolts of the suction plate can be
loosened more easily by heating.
