can be set electronically to stop in different angles.
1)Theforksareplacedinhorizontalposition.
2)ShortpressureontheswitchAactivatesthesetting
 procedure.Thecontrollergivesasignal(onebeep).
3)Theforksareplacedintherequestedangle.
4)Whentheforkshavereachedtherequestedangle,
 thecontrollerwillgivesignalafterthreeseconds
 (onebeep),whenthepositionhasbeenstored.
The procedure is repeated to set stop in the opposite
side.
3.4 Setting the speed
1)Theforksareplacedinhorizontalposition.
2)Theswitch(A)ispressedthreeseconds,andtwo
 shortbeepswillbegiven.Theswitchisreleased
and the speed is set by activating the remote
control.
Clockwise: Increasing the speed

4.1 Avoid overloads
Themaximumloadmustnotbeexceeded.Remember,thattheRotatorisdesigned
forevenlydistributedload,-goodsonpalletsetc.
Iftheforksarepoint-loadedononeside,thereisariskofbending.
NOTE! Whendrivingwiththetruck,theforksshouldbeplacedinhorizontalposition.
Max.capacityoftheRotator/Multi-purposecarriage:1000kg/700Nm(seeload
diagram).
Load diagram
Whentheforksaretilted,thespatialpositionoftheloadchanges.Thismeansthat
theloadcapacitythatcanbetiltedisreduced,thelargerthedistanceisbetween
load centre of the load and rotation centre.
Inordertousetheloaddiagram,thefollowingthreefactshavetobeknown:
• Thedistancefromtheupperedgeoftheforks/belowedge of the Multi-purpose
carrige to the load centre
• Requestedtiltdegree
• Weight of the load
Example:
- Theloadcentreisplaced120mm(A)overtheforks/belowedgeMulti-purpose
carrige
- Tiltdegree:90º(B)
- Weight of the load: 400 kg
It appears from the load diagram
thatthemaximumallowed
loadis425kg(C).
NOTE! Iftheloadcentreexceedsthealloweddistanceshownintheloaddiagram,
thereisariskthattheRotatorwillturnover,whenrotating.

4.2 Avoid offset loads
Theloadmustbeevenlydistributed.Themaximumcentreofgravitydistancefrom
thefrontoftheforkmast(givenonthetruck)mustnotbeexceeded.Agreater
distance reduces the level of safety and increases the risk of toppling.
Goodsonpallets,etc.mustbeproperlysecured,sothattheycannotfalloffduring
transport,whenthetruckislifted,orwhenthetruckmustremainliftedforatime.
