POWER STAK
Electric Brake:
Your stacker is equipped with a magnetic brake. The
brake is applied when the handle is in its vertical po-
sition between 10 – 15 degrees and lowered position
between 80 – 90 degrees. The brake could be released
when you pull down the handle at any point between
15 – 80 degrees. Always make sure the brake is re-
leased before operating the stacker. When the stacker
is running, you could brake the stacker by raising the
handle to its vertical position or lowering the handle
to its lowest position. Or, to turn the butterfly controls
in the opposite direction, the change in direction of the
motor will slow down, stop, and reverse the direction
of stacker.
When parked
, the handle will spring back
to the full vertical position with the brake applied and
the forks in lowered position.
Reversing Safety:
At the end of the handle there is a large, red reversing
bar (belly button switch) that is designed to protect
the operator from injury. When the operator runs the
stacker backwards, and the end of the handle comes
in contact with the operator’s body, the stacker will
automatically reverse direction and travel away from
the operator. When the reversing safety bar comes in
contact with your body during operation, immediately
release your hands from the butterfly control and put the
handle up to its vertical position or down to its lowest
position and the brake is on. The reversing safety bar
will automatically resume to its original position after
being activated.
Horn:
As standard equipment, a horn that is located on the
top of the handle.
AUTHORIZED OPERATORS SHOULD READ
AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS,
