Pick up and rotate a reel
Always stay clear of the area under the reel.
• The Coregripper is mainly designed to pick
up reels with the core in a vertical position.
• When lifting reels with the core in horisontal
position, the reel can fall off the Coregripper.
Make sure there is a secure grip before
rotating.
1. Move the lifter and place the centre of the
Coregripper above the core of the reel.
Apply brake to the rear wheels.
2. Press and hold the Down
button on the hand
control to lower the Coregripper into the core of
the reel.
3. Release the Down button when the Coregripper
has reached desired depth.
4. Activate the gripping jaws by lifting the extractor
handle out of its slots. Use both hands.
5. Press and hold the Up button on the hand con-
trol to lift the reel.
6. Raise the reel approximately 20cm (7.8in) from
ground level to check that the core is gripped
safely.
Make sure nobody is close to the lifter when pre-
paring to rotate the reel.
