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 frame is latched in center position of 

rotation range. 

Make sure the pad frame 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

A

PPLY

); 

unbalanced loads may tilt unexpectedly when latch is disengaged. 

WARNING:    Always keep hands and fingers away from bars of tilt linkage. 

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 (located on 
pad frame) to keep the load under control at all times.    If the pad 
frame is latched in the vertical position, pull the tilt release lever 

to disengage the tilt latch.    Lift upward or press downward on the 
control handle to tilt the load as desired.    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 frame automatically latches in place when it returns to the vertical position.

WARNING:    Load must be fully supported before releasing vacuum pads. 

The lifter is designed to prevent an accidental load release, which could result from 

unintentionally interrupting the apply mode:    When the load is at rest and fully supported, press 
and hold the enable button and the release button on the lifter, to force air into the vacuum 
pads, quickly breaking the vacuum seal.    Alternatively, if the lifter is equipped with a Remote 

Control System, press and hold the enable button and a release button on the radio transmitter.   
Continue to hold both buttons until the vacuum pads disengage completely from the load. 
If the lifter is equipped with a Remote Control System, a strobe light flashes as long as the 

operator is pressing the enable or release buttons.    This serves to show the operator when 

signals are being transmitted successfully from a remote location and also to warn other 
personnel that the operator is suspending the apply function. 

WARNING:    If vacuum pads do not disengage completely, do not attempt to 

move the lifter or load.
