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 one control handle 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 channel is latched in the vertical position, pull the tilt release lever to disengage the
tilt latch (see figure B3).
4) If load size permits, maintain control with the
control handle throughout the tilt. For loads with
overhang, it may be necessary to release the
handle 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 channel automatically latches in place when it returns to the vertical position.
