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

not work in any other position.
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. Maintain
a firm grip on the control handle (located on pad frame), 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 30° of rotation, 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.
