1. Important preliminary remarks
Only knowledge and the exact observance of this operating manual guarantee correct and reliable operation, achieve the best
possible usage and ensure any claims made within the framework
of the Vetter guarantee.
Only sta are to use Vetter mini-lifting bags who have been instructed in their use by the manufacturer‘s operating manual and
operating instructions.
The disposal of discarded lifting bags is to be carried out according to disposal regulations valid for the region.
The operating instructions given here are to be regarded as part
of the product and are to be kept for the complete life duration of
the product. In case the product should be passed on to a successive user then the operating instructions must also be included.
2. Description of the product
2.1 Description of the set
a. Mini-Lifting Bags
Bag size selection is made according to the task. There are 16 different sizes from 1.1 t to 67.7 tons with a choice of steel cord or
aramide reinforcement.
b. Ination hoses
There are ination hoses available (5 m and 10 m in length) which
enable the user to control the Mini-Lifting Bags from a safe position. The colours of the hoses, RED and YELLOW, avoid any confusion during control of the dierent sides (inlets and outlets) of
Mini-Lifting Bags.
c. Air CU (Control Unit) 8 bar deadman
Connect the ination hoses to the outlet coupling on the rear side
of the controller. Connect the air supply to the inlet coupling on
the side. Move the control lever to the front in order to inate the
Mini-Lifting Bag. In doing this, observe the corresponding manometers and the load. Release the control lever, thus ending the
ination process, when the required operating pressure for the lift
power or lift height is reached. Latest when the safety valve blows
o or the red marking is reached! The control lever automatically
returns to the center position (zero) when released (deadman
switched).

The built-in safety valve automatically activates when the bag is
over-inated above the maximum operating pressure of 8 bar or
when there is an unforeseen additional burden of the bag.
The activation tolerance for opening and closing of the
safety valve can be +/- 10 %.
Press the control lever in the opposite direction in order to deate
the bag or to reduce the load.
Additional information for illuminated control element
1
Air CU 8 bar deadman lighting
The lighting of the control element illuminates all couplings,
switch levers and manometers. It is switched on and o with
switch (1) on the side.
The control element is supplied by a 9 V block battery. Since the
entire lifting bag system is designed for a temperature range of
-20 °C to +55 °C, only batteries with this temperature range are
allowed to be used. Based on the current state of the art, only lithium batteries meet this requirement.
Dierent couplings!

To insert the battery, unscrew the battery compartment, replace
the old battery with a new one and screw the battery compartment back together.
Control elements with lighting come under the German Law on
electrical and electronic devices (ElektroG) of 24 March 2005 for
implementation of the EC Directive 2002/96/EC on electrical and
electronic waste – WEEE Directive.
The label attached to the battery compartment cover points
out that the electronic components in this product must not be
handled as domestic waste; they have to be returned to the manufacturer (return freight paid) for recycling.
d. Dual deadman controller 8 bar, aluminium
Press down the lower button (1) in order to inate the bag. Release
the button, thus ending the ination process, when the required
operating pressure for the lift power or lift height is reached. Latest when the safety valve blows o or the red marking is reached!
Ination is stopped when the button is released and it returns
back to the zero position. The bag is released by pressing the upper button (2).

e. Single deadman controller 8 bar, aluminium
The single deadman controller can be used when only one MiniLifting Bag is to be used.
The single and dual controllers in the 8 bar tting version do
not correspond to the requirements of the Fire Service standard DIN EN 13 731!
f. Dual controller 8 bar, tting
Controller with ination regulator using a ball valve without deadman
switching. Close the ball valve, thus ending the ination process, when
the required operating pressure for the lift power or lift height is reached.
Latest when the safety valve blows o or the red marking is reached! To
empty the bag, open the head of the safety valve (1) by turning to the
left. Close the safety valve by turning to the right after deation.
g. Single controller 8 bar, tting
The same version as described in f) but used for the control of only one
Mini-Lifting Bag.
Inventory of items
An inventory and check of all items in the delivery package is to be made
according to the delivery documentation when acceptance of the MiniLifting Bag equipment is carried out. A visual check and function check
is also to be made as specied in the operating manual.

Connect the air supply hose, resp. connection hose of the pressure reducer, to the plug nipple of the inlet coupling (1) on the controller. In
doing this, rmly press the nipple into the coupling until it latches in.
Turn the brass sleeve (2) of the coupling opposite to the safety pin (3) for
additional safety.
b. 8 bar ination coupling
Firmly press the hose, resp. bag nipple, into the coupling until it latches
in order to connect the ination hose with the corresponding controller,
resp. with the Mini-Lifting Bag. The coupling sleeve must lay on the sup-
1
port ring without any gap (1).
The nipple must be rmly pressed against the spring pressure in the
coupling in order to release the connection (only in pressure-free condition). At the same time, the coupling sleeve must be pulled back. The
connection is then released.
