RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
Every unit is thoroughly tested and inspected prior to

damage during transit.
Inspect the unit closely when it arrives. If you see evidence
of damage or rough handling to either the packaging or to the

it on the Bill Of Lading!
It is important that you remove the product’s packaging upon

WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that all employees understand and follow the
following.
• Read and understand the owner’s manual before using or
servicing the Tilt Master.
• For battery powered units, review the additional warnings
included in the “Operation Instructions” section of the
manual.
• Watch the container carefully when the tilter is in opera-
tion.
• Have the caster lock engaged solidly when the tilter is in
operation.
• Verify the container (not just the pallet) is fully back
against the fork carriage before tilting.
• Be alert of the possibility of parts falling from the container
when it is being tilted.
• Before transporting the container, raise the forks slightly.
• The load must be removed and the forks fully lowered
before any work is performed on the hydraulic system.
• Do not use the Tilt Master if damage or unusual noise is
observed.
• Do not perform any modifications to the Tilt Master without
the manufacturer’s approval. Failure to receive authoriza-
tion for changes to the equipment could void the warranty.
• Maintenance and repairs are to be done only by personnel
qualified to perform the required work.
• Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system.
If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a
viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100° F, (ISO 32 cSt @ 40° ),
or Dexron transmission fluid.
• Ensure that safety and warning labels stay in place and
are legible.
• Use only replacement parts either supplied or
approved by the manufacturer.
