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: Tilt function only works when pad channel is latched in center position of
rotation range.
Make sure the pad channel is latched in the center position of the rotation range (see T

preceding), as shown in the OPERATING FEATURES illustration, because the
tilt function is not designed to work in any other position.
WARNING: Make sure load is positioned correctly on lifter (see T
O
A
PPLY
);
unbalanced loads may tilt unexpectedly when latch is disengaged.
Remember that the load requires more vertical space when tilted
to the upright position, as well as more horizontal space when
tilted to the flat position. Make sure there is sufficient clearance
for the load to tilt 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. If the pad channel is latched in
the vertical position, pull the tilt release lever to disengage the tilt
latch, and prepare for a slight surge of motion as the load begins
to tilt. If load size permits, maintain control with the handle
throughout the tilt. For loads with overhang, it may be necessary
to release the control handle as the load approaches the flat position. If so, keep the load under
control using hand cups or other appropriate means. The pad channel automatically latches in
place when it returns to the vertical position.

WARNING: Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads.
When the load is at rest and fully
supported, pinch the valve release lever
against the valve handle, to unlatch the
handle. Then push the valve handle
inward to the “RELEASE” position (power
off), as shown. Do not attempt to move
the lifter until the vacuum pads disengage
completely from the load.
