Autoquip SERIES 35 TILTERS - Manual (Page 18)

18
1. Tilters have maximum lifting capacity ratings (See the “Specifications” section).
The safety relief valve has been factory set to open at a point slightly above the
rated load and allows the oil to bypass into the reservoir. The safety relief valve
should not be adjusted for any reason as it could cause the motor to
prematurely burn out. Applying loads exceeding the rated capacity of the tilter
may result in excessive wear and damage.
2. This type of tilter is designed primarily for in-plant applications and is furnished
with a constant pressure foot switch or pushbutton controls. Actuating the "UP"
button will cause oil to enter the cylinders and the tilter platform will tilt.
3. When the desired height or upward travel of the platform is attained, removing
the operators’ foot or hand from the switch deactivates the “UP” circuit button.
The oil stops flowing and the upward
movement will stop.
4. To lower the tilter, activate the "DOWN" button. Opening the down control valve
allows the oil in the cylinders to flow through the down valve at a controlled rate
and return oil to the reservoir.
5. When the desired height or downward travel of the platform is attained,
removing the operator’s foot or hand from the switch deactivates the “DOWN”
circuit. The oil stops flowing from the cylinders and the downward movement
will stop.
CAUTION!
Do not continue to activate the "UP" button if the tilter is not
raising or if it has reached the fully raised position. To do so
may result in permanent damage to the tilter.
