2.2 Explanation of basic concepts
Gripping range:
specify the minimum and maximum product measurements of the gripping good, which
can be gripped with this device.
Gripping good(s):

gripping arms of the device.
Device:
is the description for the gripping device.
Product dimensions:
Are the dimensions of the gripping good (e.g. length, breadth, height
of the product).
Dead weight:
is the own weight (without gripping good) of the device.
Carrying capacity/working
load limit (WLL*):
specify the maximum possible load of the device (for lifting of gripping goods).
2.3 Definition skilled worker / specialist
Only skilled workers or specialists are allowed to carry out the installation-, maintenance-, and repair work on this device!
Skilled workers or specialists must have for the following points (if it applies for this
device), the necessary professional knowledge.

2.5 Personal safety requirements
Each operator must have read and understood the operating instructions (and all safety instructions).
Only qualified, authorized personal is allowed to operate the device and all devices which are connected
(lifting device/carrier).
The manual guiding is only allowed for devices with handles.
2.6 Protective equipment
The protective equipment must consist, according to the safety regulations
of the following parts:
Protective clothing
Safety gloves
Safety shoes
2.7 Accident prevention
The workplace has to be covered for unauthorized persons, especially children.
Take care in case of thunderstorm!
The workplace has to be sufficiently illuminated.
Take care with handling wet, dirty and not solidified components.
The working with the device in case of atmospheric editions under 3 °C (37,5 °F) is forbidden!
Because the goods could be fall down caused by dampness or freezing.
2.8 Safety at work
2.8.1 General
Working with this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground.
The sucked load must never be lifted more than 1.8 m (measured from the top edge of the load to the
ground). Swinging the device over persons is prohibited. Danger to life!
The manual guiding of is only allowed for devices with handles.
The operator is not allowed to leave the control unit as long as the vacuum lifting device loaded with
load (stone slab). The load must always be in the range of vision of the operator.
Always keep an eye on the vacuum gauge. Never lift loads when the vacuum is below the required under
pressure (mbar). If the pointer of the pressure gauge moves into the red danger zone, lower the load
immediately! Danger! Load could fall down!
Safety

GB
While using the vacuum lifting device is the stay of persons in the working area forbidden. Except it is
indispensable. Caused of the way of using the vacuum lifting device , e.g. if the device must be leaded by
hand.
While using the vacuum lifting device be sure that there are no persons in the working area. Danger to
Life!!
The device must never be subjected to a force acting in a lateral direction due to diagonal pulling.
Do not lift any components off-centre, because that could fall down. Danger of tilting!
Release the load only when it is completely safely resting on the surface. Keep fingers away from the
load when you release it as they can be crushed!
The carrying capacity / working load limit (WLL) and the nominal width the vacuum lifting device must
not be exceeded.
Do not pull out stuck or tightened loads with the device.
The jerky raising or lowering of the device with or without load is prohibited!
Unnecessary vibrations must be avoided. Just like driving fast with the carrier/ hoist over uneven terrain!
Danger to life: Load could fall off or load handling equipment could be damaged!
In general, only drive at walking speed with the load lifted!
2.9 Function Control
2.9.1 General
Before using the device check the functions and the working condition.
Maintenance and lubrication are only permitted when device is shut down!
Do not use the device, until all faults which can cause safety hazards are removed.
If there are any cracks, splits or damaged parts on any parts of the device, immediately stop using it.
The operating instructions must be available at the workplace every time.
Do not remove the type plate of the machine.
Unrecognisable information signs (such as regulatory or prohibition signs) must be replaced.
2.9.2 Electric
Check all electric cables for connection
Defective electrical parts may be exchanged only by qualified personnel in the dead condition.
The electric cables must be free of breaks and abrasion. Take care that there are no outstanding
edges, where the hoses could get stuck.

3 General
3.1 Authorized use
The device “VACUUM-POWER-HANDY VPH” is only for lifting, transporting and installing natural stone and concrete slabs,
large slabs, drain joint stones, steps, as well as tiles in close proximity to the ground. The goods to be lifted must have no
porous surfaces.
The device is equipped with a suspension lug for crane hook.
The stated maximum load can only be achieved with a vacuum of at least 500 mbar!
The device can only be used in a vertical hanging.
Some of the suction plates, which can be attached to the device, reduce its carrying capacity.
The working load limit (WLL) is stated on each suction plate.
Never exceed the working load limit!
Without additional accessoires the device has to pe operated by two persons.
With suitable equipment the device can be operated by one person.
For more information see Chapter “Survey and construction”.
The device is only designed for the use specified in this documentation.
Every other use is not authorized and is forbidden!
All relevant safety regulations, corresponding legal regulations, especially regulations of the declaration
of conformity, and additional local health and safety regulations have to be observed.
Prior to every operation the user must ensure that:
The equipment is suited to the intended operation, the functioning and the working condition of the
equipment is examined, and the load is suitable to be handled.
Any doubts about instructions should be raised with the manufacturer prior to use.
ATTENTION: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground ( chapter “Safety at
work”)
General

The load (stone slabs) which is to be sucked and
transported, must have sufficient inherent stability,
otherwise there is risk of breakage when lifting!
Stone slabs must not be bend when lifting - especially take
care with thin and large-sized stone slabs!
Generally, the load (stones slab) is only to be sucked in the
middle, otherwise the load hangs diagonally under the
device and the load could break - especially when lifting
large stone slabs with a small suction plate.
Standard suction plates are not suitable for the transport of
glass plates!
Only suction plates of the manufacturer PROBST shall be used!!!
Some suction plates which can be mounted to the device will reduce its carrying capacity.
The maximum load is indicated on each suction plate.
Use only suction plates which are approved for this device!
Do not exceed the maximum carrying capacity of the suction plates!
Danger: Load (stone slabs) will fall down!
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
danger and are therefore forbidden!
Never exceed the carrying capacity and the nominal width/nominal size of the device.
All unauthorized transportations with the device are not allowed:
Transportation of people and animals.
Transportation of other loads and materials than described in this manual.
Never suspend any goods with ropes, chains or similar at the device.
