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 staff are to use Vetter Ultra Flat 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
2.1Description of the set
a. Ultra Flat Bags
Bag size selection is made according to the task. There are 4 different sizes from 1.1 t to 9.6 tons.
b. Inflation hoses
There are inflation hoses available (5 m and 10 m in length) which enable the user to control the Ultra Flat Bags from a safe position.
The colours of the hoses, RED and YELLOW, avoid any confusion during control of the different sides (inlets and outlets) of Ultra Flat Bags.
c. Air CU (Control Unit) 8 bar deadman
Connect the inflation 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 inflate the Ultra Flat Bag. In doing this, observe the corresponding manometers and the load. Release the control lever, thus ending the inflation process, when the required operating pressure for the lift power or lift height 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-inflated 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 deflate the bag or to reduce the load.
Additional information for illuminated control element Air CU 8 bar deadman lighting
The lighting of the control element illuminates all couplings, switch levers and manometers. It is switched on and off 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.
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 upper button (1) in order to inflate the bag. Inflation is stopped when the button is released and it returns back to the zero position. The bag is released by pressing the lower button (2).
e. Single deadman controller 8 bar, aluminium
The single deadman controller, on the left, can be used when only one Ultra Flat Bag is to be used.

f. Dual controller 8 bar, fitting
Controller with inflation regulator using a ball valve WITHOUT deadman switching. 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 deflation.
g. Single controller 8 bar, fitting
The same version as described in f) but used for the control of only one
Ultra Flat 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 Ultra Flat Bags equipment is carried out. A visual check and function check is also to be made as specified in the operating manual.

2.3The Vetter safety coupling system
a. Inlet coupling controller
Connect the air supply hose, resp. connection hose of the pressure reducer, to the plug nipple of the inlet coupling on the controller. In doing this, firmly press the nipple into the coupling until it latches in. Turn the
1brass sleeve of the coupling opposite to the safety pin for additional safety.
b. 8 bar inflation coupling
Firmly press the hose, resp. bag nipple, into the coupling until it latches in order to connect the inflation hose with the corresponding controller, resp. with the Ultra Flat Bag. The coupling sleeve must lay on the support ring without any gap (1). The nipple must be firmly pressed against the spring pressure in the coupling in order to release the connection (only
1
in pressure-free condition). At the same time, the coupling sleeve must be pulled back. The connection is then released.
