3.2 Blower with
Reversing Device
The blower produces the vacuum for the lifting device. It is fitted with a silencer
each on the sucking an the exhaust side. If a power failure occurs, its heavy
impeller produces a reserve vacuum for a short period. The blower motor must
be ventilated sufficiently. A motor overload switch protects the blower from
overload (see operating manual in appendix).
A reversing valve is connected to the suction side of the blower. It can quickly
change the blower from suction to pressure mode.
3.3 Swivelling Unit
(only MULTI ...-90°)
The swivelling unit swivels the load and support rail by max. 90°. This allows
you to put down boards vertically that you lifted up horizontally and vise versa.
An electrical motor with a swivelling gear box drives the unit. A springloaded
brake stops the swivelling.
In the beginning a thin grease residue may show on the drive shaft and air relief
valve. This is normal and no reason to worry.
3.4 Controls
The controls are mounted right of the manipulator handle. It comprises the
following controls.
Button "Swivel vertically" (1),
Button "Swivel horizontally" (2),
2x "Release" button (3); the device
operates in suction mode unless these
buttons are activated. Both "Release"
buttons must be pressed simultaneously.
The buttons for swivelling are only
mounted by the types MULTI ...-90°.
3.5 Suction boxes / pads
The various suction boxes / pads apply the vacuum to the load. They are
designed to lift various items.
Danger
All suction boxes / pads have to rest on the workpiece and suction it.
Exception MULTI 400/300-90°-8:
All suction pads of the front suction pad row have to rest on the work
peace. Attention: The max. lifting capacity degrease on the halve.
Deactivate suction pads which did not suck on the load. In the other case no
vacuum can be generated.
Active or deactivate the suction pads only when no load is sucked on.
Danger
When activating or deactivating the suction pads when a load is lifted,
the vacuum breaks down all of a sudden, the load falls down.

If you notice that the load does not immediately stop moving when the swivel
valve is released, the air gap of the brake must be adjusted without delay.
(This air gap may not exceed 0.6 mm.)
