Troubleshooting
Pneumatic suction plate not holding firmly
Ensure the anchoring surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Check for any damage or debris on the suction plate's sealing edge. Ensure the pneumatic system is properly engaged and has sufficient air pressure if applicable.
Mechanical hoist is stiff or difficult to adjust
Inspect the hoist mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Lubricate the moving parts sparingly with an appropriate light oil if recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure the tower is on a level surface when adjusting.
Pulling force seems insufficient
Verify that the anchor point is secure. Ensure the pulling head is properly attached to the workpiece. Check if the workpiece material is appropriate for the 600kg force and that the pulling angle is not too extreme. If using accessories, ensure they are correctly installed.
Unit is unstable during operation
Re-evaluate the anchoring surface and ensure the suction plate is fully engaged. Make sure the tower is positioned on a level and stable floor. Avoid sudden, jerky movements when applying force.
