load.

About the Tilt Linkage

Unbalanced loads may tilt
unexpectedly during lifter operation.

Make sure load is positioned
correctly on lifter.

The tilt linkage minimizes operator effort and
automatically holds a balanced load in either
the upright or the flat position. However, an
unbalanced load may tilt unexpectedly,
resulting in load damage or personal injury.

To minimize these risks, make certain

before lifting any load

that it has appropriate “L

” (see page 13) and is attached to the vacuum lifter as previously directed.
