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 load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T
O
A
PPLY
).
1) Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the load to tilt without contacting the operator or
any nearby objects.
2) Maintain a firm grip on the control handles to keep the load under control at all times, as
shown below.
Unbalanced loads may tilt unexpectedly when latch is disengaged.
3) If the pad channels are latched in the vertical position, pull the tilt release cable to disengage
the tilt latches (see figure B5).
4) If load size permits, maintain
control with the control
handles throughout the tilt.
For loads with overhang, it
may be necessary to release
the handles as the load
approaches the flat position.
If so, keep the load under
control using hand cups or
other appropriate means, as
shown.
Note: The pad channels automatically latch in place when they return to the vertical position.
