2.1 Box holder
The Rotator can be equipped with one or two sets of box holders, adjusted for
different box sizes. When loosening the screw (A), the box holder can be moved
between the four different positions.
NOTE! The screw has to be tightened, before using the product.
Setting of distance between box holders
Fork span 560 mm: Distance between box holders of 840, 890, 1000 or
1040 mm, for box widths of 800, 850, 950 or 1000 mm.
Fork span 680 mm: Distance between box holders of 1040, 1090, 1200 or
1240 mm, for box widths of 1000, 1050, 1150 or 1200 mm.
Setting of height
The box holders can be placed in two different heights:
• It is important that the box holders are placed approx. on the level of or above
the load centre of the load.
• Use two box holders in each side:
1. When the weight of the load is between 500 and 1000 kg.
2. For high boxes or when the material of the box is unstable, e.g. cardboard
NOTE! If the box holders have no clamps, the load is not allowed to be tilted more
than 60º to each side.

2.2 Box holders with clamps
If the box can fall o󰀨, or if it has to be tilted more than 60º, box holders with clamps
have to be used.
Box holders with clamps can grip, hold and rotate boxes with di󰀨erent heights.
The clamps are to be tightened when the box is lifted from the oor.
2.3 Box holder - adjustable (ELFRA/ELFSRA)
If handling boxes with di󰀨erent widths, Rotator can be provided with adjustable box
holders.
Using the handle (A), adjust the width of the box holders to t di󰀨erent box widths
(between 800 mm and 1200 mm).

When handling closed pallets
- use the Rotator with straddle legs!
For proper operation,
stand behind the handle.

3.1 Pallet handling
The Rotator functions as an ordinary stacker, when the forks are placed in
horizontal position.

3.2 Use of the Rotator
Condition: The upper edge of the forks is lifted between 400 and 900 mm.
The load can be rotated 360º with one adjustable stop in every side.
Note! To continue the tilt function from the horizontal position, the tilt switch has
to be released and activated in the requested tilt direction.
To lower the forks fully or to lift higher than 900 mm, the forks have to be placed in
horizontal position.
Soft acceleration / deceleration
The Rotator has soft acceleration / deceleration with the following benets:
• The rotation stops precisely
• The gear is protected, because sudden start / stop are minimised.
3.0 How to operate the Rotator
NOTE!
The load has to be supported
sideways before tilting.

3. At the Stops display choose the
next stop position/angle and
repeat the procedure.
3.5.5 Deleting stop positions
At the Stops display, press “CLEAR ALL” to delete all set stop positions/angles.
3.5.4 Setting of stop position
From the factory, the forks are set to rotate continuously. When the forks have
rotated 360°, the machine stops rotating. If you want rotation to continue, it is
necessary to release/press the rotation switch on the remote control again.
It is possible to set up to three stop positions/angles for rotation in both directions.
If the machine is set with one or more stop positions/angles, the machine cannot
rotate further than the last set stop position/angle.
At home display press Setup, and
afterwards STOPS, and the following
is shown.

4.1 Safety regulations
• Never walk under a raised load!
• Before lowering the forks, make certain that no foreign
elements can hinder the free lowering of the forks
• The Rotator is designed for use on an even and level oor
• During transport the forks shall be raised as little as
possible
• Transport with raised forks should be made over the
shortest possible distances and at low speed
• Check that the chains lift equally. They shall be equally tight
when the forks are loaded
• Chains and chain bolts must not be damaged. Chains that have become
permanently stretched (max. 2 % of original length) must be scrapped.

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 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).
4.0 Optimum safety

A
The mast lifting capacity and the corresponding centre of gravity
distance are given by the pictogram on the side of the mast.
The lifting capacity of the mast is the same as the max. lifting
capacity of the product.
Max. lifting capacity is set on the safety valve of the product.
Marking
4.3 Avoid o󰀨set 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 o󰀨 during
transport, when the truck is lifted, or when the truck must remain lifted for a time.
4.0 Optimum safety
4.4 Rotation range
Standard version
The load can be rotated, when the upper edge of the forks are lifted between 400
and 900 mm. Outside this range, the stacker functions as a standard stacker.
Top stop
Indicates that the forks are lifted 900 mm above the
oor.
NOTE! Top stop is only placed on stackers with
lifting heights, being higher than::
920 mm SELFR
890 mm SELFSR
Bottom stop
Indicates that the forks are lifted 400 mm above the
oor.

4.0 Optimum safety
Special version
The top stop can be set to other intervals than between 400-900 mm.
The height of the top stop depends on the width of the Rotator, as a wide Rotator
can manage a larger sideways movement.
E.g. On a Rotator with 850 mm straddle legs, the stop can be placed at a
maximum fork height of 1880 mm.

4.6 Rotation with load
The load centre is not allowed to be placed on the outside of the legs of the
stacker, as this will cause a risk of turning over.
NOTE! Rotation is only allowed to take place, if the stacker is placed on an equal
oor.
BE CAREFUL!
When rotating boxes, the operator needs a full overview of the whole working area,
so that the rotation movement can be stopped before the box touches the oor, the
items or persons in the working area.
4.5 Driving loaded
The Rotator is designed for use on even and level oor. During transport the forks
shall be raised as little as possible. Transport with raised forks should be made
over the shortest possible distances and at low speed.

4.7 Emergency braking and Emergency stop
If it becomes necessary to use the load as a brake to prevent the Rotator from
running away, activate the DOWN button quickly, until the load reaches the ground.
The product has an emergency stop. When activating
the emergency stop, the main current supply is switched o󰀨.
The movement of the forks stops immediately when activating
the emergency stop.

5.1 Fuses - replacement
There are ve fuses in the electrical circuit.
• 10 Amp fuse in the control current circuit
• 20 Amp fuse (plug for extra equipment on the instrument board)
• 20 Amp fuse for built-in charger
• 100 Amp fuse in the main supply from battery
• 40 Amp fuse for Rotator
Replacement:
The old fuse is to be removed and replaced by a new one of the same size.
Find out why the fuses blow!
5.2 Wirring connections
Many operational disturbances are caused by bad
connections in the elctrical circuit. Make sure that the
connections are in order.
Check connections regularly for damage at insulating caps or bad
connections at plugs etc. Verdigris must be removed from cable
plugs. Keep all screw/nut connections tight.
