WARNING: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T
O
A
PPLY
);
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. Keep the load under
control at all times, using hand cups or other appropriate means. 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.

CAUTION: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T
O
A
PPLY
); unbalanced
loads may damage lifter.
Remember that the load requires more vertical space when tilted to the upright position, as well
as more horizontal space when tilted to the flat position. Make sure there is sufficient clearance
for the load to tilt without contacting the operator or any nearby objects.
A tilt speed controller is located on the lift bar, to govern the
speed of tilt movement: Make sure the controller’s power switch
is activated (green light illuminated), 8 and set the 2 controller
dials to adjust tilt speed as desired. The dial marked “TILT #1”
controls the speed of pad frame movement from the horizontal
orientation to the vertical; whereas the dial marked “TILT #2”
controls the speed of pad frame movement from the vertical
orientation to the horizontal. Use extra care if a speed over 50%
is selected, since tilt motion may be faster than expected.
The tilt toggle switch on the movable control pendant controls the powered tilt motion: To tilt
the load towards the flat position, push the toggle up; to tilt the load towards the upright
position, push the toggle down. Releasing the toggle switch locks the load in any position within
the 90° range of tilt movement.

The controller’s power switch controls the power supply to the actuator motor and brake, as well as the controller;
consequently, powered tilt only functions when the controller power is engaged.
