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.
CAUTION: Rotation function only works when pad frame is latched in vertical
orientation.
Make sure the pad frame is latched in the vertical position of the tilt range (see T

not designed to work in any other position.
WARNING: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T

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 one control handle 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 quarter turn, 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.
