In Case of Power Failure

The lifter is equipped with a vacuum reserve tank, designed to maintain vacuum temporarily in

case of a failure at the lifter's power source.

WARNING: Stay clear of any suspended load in the event of a power failure.

Although the lifter is designed to support the load for at least 5 minutes without power, this

depends on many factors, including the condition of the load and the lifter’s vacuum system (see

). If a power failure occurs, keep all personnel clear of the suspended load until it can safely

be placed on the ground or a stable support. Correct any deficiency before resuming normal

operation of the lifter.

WARNING: Never disengage both the rotation latch and the tilt latch at the

same time.

This lifter is not designed for rotation and tilt functions to be used at the same time. Disengaging

the rotation and tilt latches simultaneously could cause uncontrolled and unpredictable load
movement, potentially resulting in load damage or injury to the operator.

CAUTION: Rotation function only works when pad channel is latched in vertical

orientation.

Make sure the pad channel is latched in the vertical position of the tilt range (see T

to follow), as shown in the OPERATING FEATURES illustration, because the rotation function

is not designed to work in any other position.

WARNING: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T

);

unbalanced loads may rotate unexpectedly when latch is

disengaged.

Remember that the load is longer in its diagonal dimensions than in its side

dimensions. Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the load to rotate
without contacting the operator or any nearby objects. Maintain a firm grip
on one control handle to keep the load under control at all times. Pull the
rotation release lever to disengage the rotation latch, and rotate the load to

the desired position. To stop the load’s motion automatically at each
quarter turn, simply let go of the rotation release lever immediately after
initiating the rotation, so that the rotation latch engages at the next stop.

Whenever rotation is not required, keep the rotation latch engaged, to
prevent accidental damage to the load and possible injury to the operator.
