2 Proper use of the OKTOPUS®

2.1 Mode of operation and safety concept of the OKTOPUS® system

The devices of the OKTOPUS® system are „Load lifting attachments“ following the principle of a „Vacuum lifter“. They are installed to a hoist or work as a stand-alone unit, and are used

for handling and positioning large-size construction elements.

The basic functions of the OKTOPUS

system comprise:

⇒ Controlled suction and release of large-size construction elements having sufficient inherent

stability by use of one or more vacuum suction pads of the OKTOPUS

⇒ transport and positioning of the sucked construction elements by manipulating the OK-

TOPUS,

⇒ fine positioning of the construction elements using the control of the OKTOPUS

-axes (if

available).

The OKTOPUS

system is offered in various types of design and models for different fields of application. These differ depending on the used hoist, the loads to be lifted, the necessary positioning movements and the used controls.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact us (

www.wirth-gmbh.com).

Specific safety requirements, which have been taken into account during construction, execution, technical documentation and in drawing up the operating instructions for the OKTOPUS

system, arise due to the special function of the OKTOPUS system as a “load lifting attachment”.

Therefore, strict compliance with the instructions and information for proper and safe use of the device given in the operating instructions is a prerequisite for the manufacturer’s warranties during the agreed warranty period.

The OKTOPUS

user is responsible for combining the OKTOPUS® system to a hoist. The user himself is responsible for proper implementation of the relevant guidelines and instructions. The information provided by the manufacturer of the OKTOPUS

system through these operating in-

structions shall be considered as an additional support for the user. Before initial start-up of the system, skilled staff shall check at the user’s premises, whether the

combination of OKTOPUS

system / crane or hoist is suitable for use.

Moreover, the OKTOPUS® shall be subject to tests by an expert at regular intervals (please refer to pt. 4.1). Experts are persons who have sufficient knowledge in the field of load lifting attachments on account of their education and experience in the concerned subject and who are being highly acquainted with the relevant safety-at-work instructions and safety precautions, guidelines and generally accepted engineering standards, so that they can evaluate the state of the load lifting attachments as being safe for operation.

Initial testing of the crane or lifting device/OKTOPUS

combination as well as the successful

completion of the annual test of the OKTOPUS® system by an expert shall be documented. The manufacturer of the OKTOPUS® system offers expert testing as a service and documents

testing of the OKTOPUS® by placing the test badge on the test card in accordance with Annex 4 together with the indication of the date for the next test.

2.2 Safety instructions

(1) Only employ cranes with a Working Load Limit that exceeds the live weight of the

OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 in all working positions by at least 90 kg!

(2) Never use a damaged, not fully functioning or incomplete OKTOPUS

(3) Have your combination crane/OKTOPUS

tested and documented by an expert prior to

initial start-up!

(4) Operate the crane with an operating license only! (5) Only operate the OKTOPUS

and the crane, if you are familiar with the operating and

display elements as well as with the operating instructions. You shall be aware of the impact of a function on the entire unit!

(6) Before operating the OKTOPUS

and the crane, test the function of the operating and

display elements as well as the alarm unit! (7) Make sure that the crane operator has a sufficient view over the sling and assembly site! (8) Arrange hand signals with the installer and fitter for the necessary crane operations! (9) It is absolutely necessary to observe the maximum Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/ 600/800 stipulated in section 2.3 Symbols and markings!

These specifications only apply to a working height up to 400m above sea level! (10) If there are any protection hoods on the suction pads, remove them before initial start-up! (11) Only work in wind strengths less than 30 km/h, otherwise the load will be endangered

by swinging uncontrollably! (12) Check the suction pads daily for damage; if necessary replace with new pads (13) Clean the suction surfaces on the elements. Do not place the suction pads on protective

film, instead, remove the film before – at least at the contact areas of the suction pads (14) Never stand or walk under the suspended load! (15) Ensure that nobody attempts to mount or ride on the OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN

400/600/800 or the suspended construction elements. (16) Stop work immediately when the acoustic alarm sounds and/or the warning light

flashes up! In this case, danger of severe damage to the system exists, and the sucked

load might drop down. Carefully put down the OKTOPUS® together with the sucked load

by the used hoist until the load is rested safely. Find and remove the cause for the alarm.

If the defects cannot be removed, finish working with the OKTOPUS

immediately. The

OKTOPUS

has to be secured against further use!

(17) In the event of faults and during servicing and maintenance work, always switch off the

OKTOPUS

. Therefore, turn the main switch to the OFF position!

(18) Please note that low temperatures and humidity can cause freezing of the vacuum

system! (19) Never use the OKTOPUS® within highly explosive ranges or within the range of ag-

gressive substances! (20) Never attempt to lift damaged glass or cladding elements! (21) Do not lift the load higher than necessary! (22) Wet components must not be sucked, because

a. this reduces the safe work load capacity considerably and

b. the vacuum system and/ or the control system of the OKTOPUS

might be damaged!

(23) Protect the suction pads of the OKTOPUS

against damage by using protection hoods af-

ter use! (24) Always wear suitable protection clothes, helmets, gloves and industrial safety shoes! (25) Never leave a lifted load unsupervised! (26) Never lift more than one glass or cladding element at the same time!

2.4 Design and application of the OKTOPUS®

The OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is a load lifting attachment of modular design for large glass and cladding elements of sufficient inherent stability with a surface that is, at least on one side, partially smooth and airtight. It is designed for wall and roof assemblies on building sites.

The OKTOPUS

is equipped with a load lifting eye to be hooked into a lifting device provided by

the customer. The basic frame can be rotated manually by 360° and swivelled by 90°. By dismounting the crane arm the overall height of OKTOPUS

is minimized to 140 mm only. The low overall height allows - in combination with the guide ring optionally available - the installation of elements weighing up to 300 kg in clearances of normally max 300 mm only between the building front and the scaffolding in front of it. The arrangement of the guide ring allows rotating the lifting attachment with the sucked load by 360°.

Depending on the load class the following OKTOPUS

models are distinguished:

Max. Working Load Limit 400 kg: OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400

(4 suction pads on the unit)

Max. Working Load Limit 600 kg: OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 600

(6 suction pads on the unit)

Max. Working Load Limit 800 kg: OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 800

(8 suction pads on the unit)

Each of the models mentioned above can be equipped with a guide ring. In case of using the guide ring, the Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS® is limited to 300 kg.

The functional main groups of components are (see fig. 1 to 5):

− the crane eyes (1, 12, 19) to connect the OKTOPUS

to the crane,

− the red signal light (17) indicating hazardous situations and the green signal light (18) defin-

ing the working area,

− the vacuum gauge (7) indicating the vacuum level,

− the basic frame (5) and the extension arms (17) with the suction pads fixed thereto (8),

− the charge indicator (11) permanently showing the actual charge of battery,

− the main switch (10) for switching on and the switch „Suction/Release“ (15) to operate the

OKTOPUS®.

2.5 Conditions and restrictions of application

The glass and cladding elements to be processed with the OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 have to fulfil the following criteria in the suction areas:

•

they have to be airtight,

• they must have a smooth, dry, oil-free and clean surface and

• they must not be equipped with a protective plastic film.

The OKTOPUS® shall be delivered with suction pads for smooth glass and cladding elements. Generally, no statements can be made on the length and the width of the elements to be in-

stalled with the OKTOPUS

, as this depends - upon observing of the safe work load criteria almost exclusively on the inherent rigidity and the deformation behaviour of the construction elements connected thereto.

The suction of oil, water, vapours or aggressive gases shall be avoided. The ambient temperature shall be min 0 °C and may be max 40 °C (valid for 1013 mbar and sea level). At low temperatures the capacity of the batteries in use is reduced. The airborne sound deriving from the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is < 70 dB(A), vibrations are at < 2.5 m/s2, so

that no special protective measures are required. Limitations of application arise from the limited Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS® GLASS-

Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 (see section 2.3 Symbols and markings) as well as from the capacity data, the conditions of application of the crane to be used and the building site conditions. Furthermore, it shall be taken into account that the element to be installed should be of sufficiently inherent stability and appropriate for mounting by vacuum lifting attachments (to be clarified with the elements‘ manufacturer if so).

Due to the large number of the elements existing in the market and their surface coatings, we cannot take over liability in case of possible material incompatibilities between suction pad and surface coating.

The maximum Working Load Limit stipulated on the OKTOPUS® only applies to the use of the original suction pads and a working height of maximum 400 m above sea level. Employing the OKTOPUS

in heights above 400 m leads to a decreased Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS® on the one hand, on the other hand the OKTOPUS® control system needs to be adjusted. If you want to employ the OKTOPUS

in heights above 400 m, please contact the Wirth

Service Team beforehand.

Employing the OKTOPUS

at heights above 400 m leads to a decreased Work-

ing Load Limit! The Working Load Limits stipulated on the OKTOPUS

and in

this operating manual do not apply in this case!

Never carry out unauthorized adjustments at the control system of the OK-

TOPUS® as it may lead to serious malfunctions of the device! It means danger to life and limb! Consult with the OKTOPUS

manufacturer if it is necessary to

adjust the control system of the OKTOPUS®, e.g. for height adjustment.

Shut down the OKTOPUS

for transport! Turn the main switch to the OFF po-

sition!

Protect the rubber lip of the suction pad from pollution and damage by protec-

tion covers!

To avoid damage to the batteries by deep discharge during storage, the OK-

TOPUS

shall be charged every two weeks at least.

Transport rack

The transport rack shown in figure 7 is optionally available. It allows:

⇒ space-saving storage of the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 and

⇒ protecting the suction pads, especially the rubber lip during transport and storage.

3 Instructions for use of the OKTOPUS®

3.1 Power supply

The electrical power is provided by a battery 24 V / 7 Ah (two 12-V batteries in series connection).

The charge level is controlled by a charge indicator according to fig. 8. After switching on the OKTOPUS

, light-emitting diodes (LED) in the signal colours green, yellow and red indicate the

current charging level. The charge indicator shows the following charging status:

⇒ If one of the green LED lights up, the battery is charged. Now you can work with the OK-

TOPUS

⇒ If the third LED from the left (yellow LED) lights up, the battery should be charged.

⇒ If the second LED from the left (yellow LED) lights up or if the second LED from the left

and the red LED are alternately flashing, the battery shall be charged immediately to avoid a deep discharge and damages.

The charge indicator is arranged according to fig. 1.

Fig. 8: Charge indicator

Do not use the OKTOPUS

, if the yellow LED flashes or the yellow and the red LED are flashing alternately. An eventually sucked load should be lowered. The OKTOPUS

should be immediately charged to avoid a deep discharge and

damages.

The user shall ensure that the battery of the OKTOPUS® is sufficiently charged

while operating the OKTOPUS®.

The charge indicator only shows the current voltage level of the battery that

shall not be considered as a reliable qualitative indication in terms of the batteries’ capacity.

The charge indicator reacts/responds slowly. To judge the actual voltage level

after charging (see point 4.4), the vacuum pump of the attachment needs to run for approx. 2 minutes. The indicated charging level of the batteries allows you to decide about the use of the attachment.

If this green LED lights up, the

battery is fully charged.

3.2 Vacuum supply

The vacuum supply is provided by a vacuum pump, which is powered by electricity and supplied by the battery. Starting from the vacuum pump, the OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is developed as a dual circuit system. That means, all the following vacuum modules, like non-return valve, vacuum reservoir, pressure controller, vacuum gauge and suction pads exist twice (2 vacuum circles). At the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 the 2 vacuum circles are marked by different colours, one colour per vacuum circuit (usually blue and red). Please note, that only vacuum hoses and vacuum hose couplings of the same colour shall be interconnected. Mounted to the crane, the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is ready for operation as soon as sufficient vacuum is provided in both vacuum reservoirs. The current vacuum level is constantly indicated via two vacuum gauges (fig. 9).

The green scale sector is the

permissible working range from -0.65 bar to -0.9 bar

Fig. 9: Vacuum gauge

During operation the vacuum is monitored by two pressure control devices. If the vacuum is in both vacuum circles in the working area, the green signal light shines. The OKTOPUS® is ready for use. If the vacuum descends in one or both vacuum circles below the prescribed level (pressure exceeding the -0.65 bar mark = red sector), an alarm is automatically activated:

⇒ the acoustic alarm sounds,

⇒ the red warning light flashes up.

Only interconnect vacuum hoses and couplings of the same color! Non-

compliance with these instructions could, in case of a breakdown of a vacuum circuit, lead to the load suddenly dropping due to uneven load distribution.

If the alarm is activated, stop working instantly and evacuate the hazard zone,

as the sucked element could disengage suddenly. Never stand or walk under the OKTOPUS

or the suctioned element!

The alarm remains active until the vacuum pressure is restored within its

permitted limits.

Green

sector

The OKTOPUS® may only be operated within this range.

Red

sector

The OKTOPUS® must not be operated in this range.

3.3 Control panel/switch

The OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is operated by a control panel according to fig. 10.

Fig. 10: Control panel

3.4 Start-up

Proceed as follows to start the operation of the OKTOPUS®:

• Place the suction pads of the OKTOPUS

onto the element to be sucked!

• Turn the main switch to the "ON“ position.

• Slightly lift the switch SUCTION / RELEASE, and then push it towards SUCTION!

• Check the charge level of the battery on the charge indicator,

⇒ The operational readiness is indicated through the luminescence of a green LED.

⇒ If the second LED from the left (yellow LED) flashes or the second LED from the left

(yellow LED) and the red LED flash alternately, the battery needs to be charged!

• Check the vacuum on the vacuum gauges,

⇒ if the needle of both gauges are in the green range, the unit is ready for operation!

3.5 Handling of glass and cladding elements

First of all the OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600 /800 has to be coupled to the crane as a load lifting attachment in order to get it ready for operation.

The assembly of the OKTOPUS

shall be carried out while the crane is immobile and the OK-

TOPUS

is switched off.

The assembly of the building elements is carried out as follows:

Make sure that the load is placed properly to the OKTOPUS®. Unbalanced loads can tilt or turn unexpectedly.

3.5.1 Handling of lying glass and cladding elements

⇒ In order to suck a lying load, you need the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 in the version with a crane arm or with a crane arm and extensions (see fig. 11, ex. OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400 and 800).

Never use the OKTOPUS

with a mounted guide ring for putting up or lifting a

horizontally lying load!

⇒ Unlock the release "Swivelling" (see fig. 11) and move the crane arm with the mounted

OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 to the elements. Place the OKTOPUS® on the topmost element.

Never attempt to lift a horizontally lying load

if the pivoting of the crane arm is latched!

⇒ Place the OKTOPUS

above the centre of mass (±5 cm) of the load.

⇒ Slightly lift the switch SUCTION / RELEASE and push it towards SUCTION (see fig. 10)

until it snaps into place.

⇒ After the warning light and the buzzer have both gone out, the vacuum gauge indicates

that the working range has been reached (see fig. 9) and you have made sure, that no one stays in the danger area, you can lift the load.

⇒ Only lift the load as high as necessary!

⇒ After the element has been placed at the assembly location, fasten it completely to avoid

any danger after release!

⇒ After that, the building element is detached. For release, again raise the switch SUCTION

/ RELEASE a bit and push it towards RELEASE. Raising the switch is an additional safety feature against unintentional faulty operation.

If your OKTOPUS

is equipped with the optional blow-off function, subsequently press the button “Blow-off“ (see fig. 1, pos. 16). Keep the button pressed until all suction pads have completely disengaged from the load. In this case the suction pads are supplied with compressed air which ensures that the suction pads are released quicker from the load.

Due to the dead weight of the OKTOPUS

, a residual vacuum remains even after ventilating the suction pads by the evacuated system. Jerky rising of the OKTOPUS

strengthens this effect. Therefore, take the equipment always

slowly and steadily off from the elements shifted.

3.5.2 Handling of glass and cladding elements standing upright

⇒ Move the crane with the attached OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600 /800 to the

elements. Place the OKTOPUS

onto the topmost element.

⇒ Position the OKTOPUS

onto or above the centre of mass of the load (max. ±5 cm)!

In order to avoid unintended load rotation, make sure that the sliding lever

„Rotation“ (see fig. 12) is locked. The sliding lever „Swivelling“ shall be released and the crane arm be vertical !

⇒ Slightly lift the switch SUCTION / RELEASE and push it towards SUCTION (see fig. 10)

until it snaps into place.

⇒ After the warning light and the buzzer have both gone out, the vacuum gauge indicates

that the working range has been reached (see fig. 9) and you have made sure, that no one stays in the danger area, you can lift the load.

⇒ Only lift the load as high as necessary!

⇒ After the element has been placed at the assembly location, fasten it completely to avoid

any danger after release!

⇒ After that, the building element is detached. For release again raise the switch

SUCTION/RELEASE a bit and push it towards RELEASE. Raising the switch is an additional safety feature against unintentional faulty operation

3.5.3 Rotating a load hanging in a vertical position with the OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 with a crane arm

⇒ Suck the element as described in 3.5.2!

Never unlock the release ’’Rotation“ and ’’Swivelling“ at the same time! Un-

locking both the releases may cause damages to the attachment and/or the load!

⇒

Before rotating the load, make sure that there is enough space available. Ensure that the load does not strike anything during rotation!

⇒

Unlock the release ’’Rotation“ (see fig. 12) and turn the load into the appropriate position. After that relock the sliding lever.

3.5.4 Rotating a load hanging in a vertical position with the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 with guide ring

⇒

Suck the element as described in 3.5.2!

⇒

Position the OKTOPUS® above the centre of mass of the load (max. ±5 cm).

To avoid unintended load rotation, make sure that upon use of the version

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 with guide ring, the eccentric lever guide ring (see fig. 12) shall be tightened!

⇒

Before rotating the load, make sure that there enough space is available. Ensure that the load does not strike anything during rotation!

⇒

Slowly release the eccentric lever guide ring (see. fig. 12)!

⇒

Turn the load into the appropriate position.

3.5.5 Swivelling a load hanging in a vertical position with the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 with crane arm

⇒ Suck the element as described in 3.5.2!

Never attempt to unlock release “Swivelling“ (see fig. 12), if it carries a load.

This would cause uncontrollable “downward tilting” of the load.

In order to swivel the load from a vertical into a horizontal position, at least 3

persons are needed. Two persons have to secure and guide the load, while the third person has to release the interlock!

⇒ Before swivelling the load you have to take into account that the swivelled load needs

more horizontal space. Make sure that the load does not strike anything during swivelling!

⇒ Unlock the release “Swivelling“ (see fig. 12) and move the load into a horizontal position.

4 Servicing and Maintenance

4.1 General

As the OKTOPUS® system is a load lifting attachment, the manufacturer and operator bear great responsibility for ensuring a high standard of safety during the entire operation of the unit. For this reason, servicing and maintenance are of prime importance.

In order to maintain a high level of operational safety the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 must be inspected by the service centre of Wirth GmbH or a specially qualified technician:

⇒ at least every 12 months or at shorter time intervals, if required by national standards or

regulations or

⇒ after any special incidents.

Any operative and scheduled servicing, maintenance and repair work exceeding this inspection should be carried out by trained and skilled staff only.

Servicing and repair work should only be carried out when the machine is out of operation.

Before performing any repair or maintenance work on the OKTOPUS

switch

the entire unit off. Turn the main switch to the “OFF” position.

For the exchange of faulty parts only original spare parts shall be used. These will be supplied after consulting the service centre of the OKTOPUS manufacturer upon request. The manufacturer will not accept any liability in the event of installation of anything but original spare parts.

Only use suitable tools to perform repair and maintenance work.

Always carry out a functional test after completing repair works.

In case of faults, which cannot be remedied by in-house personnel, please contact the Wirth GmbH service centre.

4.2 Mechanical components

The mechanical components are sturdy and provided with a surface protection. Maintenance work on your side comprises:

⇒ daily inspection of the mechanical components of the OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN

400/600/800 to detect any damage before starting the operation of the unit.

The OKTOPUS

GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 is a load lifting attachment. Therefore, re-

pairs to the mechanical function components can only be carried out by the OKTOPUS



manu-

facturer.

Never carry out any repair work on the mechanical function components!

4.3 Vacuum system

Vacuum components, which are subject to wear and relevant to safety, must be inspected on a regular basis. For this purpose:

⇒ Daily check the components in terms of their correct position and mechanical damages, in

particular:

• the suction pads (replace suction pad(s) if so),

• the hoses,

• the vacuum gauges.

Replace the suction pads and the hoses immediately if these have mechanical

damages (cracks, cuts, etc.)! These damages could lead to a reduced Working Load Limit of the OKTOPUS

The vacuum pump runs completely oil-free. The robust design allows a maintenance-free operation.

The infiltration of dust into the vacuum pump is prevented by a filter screwed in into each individual suction pad. Therefore, maintenance of the vacuum system is focused on this component.

⇒ Slightly lift the OKTOPUS

without the load. The filter is in the through-hole to the connec-

tion of the vacuum hose. Dirty filters shall be cleaned.

Fig. 18: Suction pad

4.3.1 Cleaning the suction pads

Always clean the suction pads prior to every operation of the OKTOPUS

, if the suction areas are soiled (dirt, dust, oil, etc.). Dirt could cause leakages and leave marks on the manipulated elements.

For cleaning the suction pads we recommend to use water, if necessary add some detergent. Do not use chemical solvents, petrol, diesel oil or similar in any case.

Never use solvents, petrol or aggressive chemicals for cleaning the suction

pads! Otherwise this may result in damaging the suction pads, which could endanger the operator as well as others.

Ensure that fluids cannot enter the vacuum system during the cleaning process by positioning the suction pads or by covering the suction opening. Give the suction pads a sufficient amount of time to completely dry before operating the OKTOPUS

Filter (connection vacuum hose)

5 Conduct in the event of hazardous incidents

In the event of hazardous incidents the acoustic alarm sounds and the red warning lamp lights up. The total failure of the electric power supply is signalled by a fading sound of the alarm buzzer.

Fig. 20: Warning devices

In case the alarm buzzer sounds and/or the red warning light flashes, immediately leave the danger area, since the sucked elements could suddenly drop down. The cause for the alarm should be found and removed. In case the defects cannot be removed, stop working with the OKTOPUS

immediately. After releasing a possibly sucked element the OKTOPUS® shall be

secured against further use.

In case of faults that cannot be remedied, working with the OKTOPUS

shall

be stopped immediately. Der OKTOPUS

shall be secured against further use.

If there is no indication is given on the charge indicator when the OKTOPUS

is switched on,

always contact the Wirth GmbH service centre of immediately.

6 Disposal and Recycling

For the packaging of the OKTOPUS®, materials like wood, cardboard, paper and film are used. These materials shall be recycled according to national regulations.

To dispose the OKTOPUS

, hand it in to a waste management company. If you have any ques-

tions, please do not hesitate to contact Wirth GmbH.

For environmental reasons hand over the OKTOPUS

for disposal to a waste management company being fully aware and observing the national regulations!
