WARNING: Always keep hands and fingers away from bars of tilt linkage.
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. Also make sure the tilt locks are disengaged prior to
tilting the load (see T
O L IFT AND M OVE THE L OAD : Engaging or
Disengaging Tilt Locks preceding). Then lift upward or press
downward on the control handle to tilt the load as desired. Since
the tilt linkage is designed to automatically maintain the load in
either the upright or the flat position, the load force on the control
handle changes direction during the tilt. If load size permits, maintain control with the handle
throughout the tilt. For loads with overhang, it may be necessary to release the control handle
as the load approaches the flat position. If so, keep the load under control using hand cups or
other appropriate means.

WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.
When the load is at rest and fully
supported, pinch the valve release lever
against the valve handle, to unlatch the
handle. Then push the valve handle
inward to the “RELEASE” position (power
off), as shown. Do not attempt to move
the lifter until the vacuum pads
disengage completely from the load.
