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 two different positions.
NOTE! The screw has to be tightened, before using the product.
Setting of distance between box holders
Fork span 560 mm: Fits the box widths 800 or 1000 mm.
Fork span 680 mm: Fits box widths 1000 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.
If possible, use two box holders in each side•
1) When the weight of the load is between 800 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.
Box holders with clamps
If the box can fall off, 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 different heights.
The clamps are placed on the frame of the box and
tightened when the box is lifted up (no contact to
the oor).

3.0 How to operate the Logiex
3.1 Pallet handling
The Logiex with Rotator functions as an ordinary stacker, when the forks are
placed in horizontal position.

7
3.2 Use of the Rotator
Condition: The upper edge of the forks is lifted between 250 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 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.•
NOTE!
The load has to be supported
sideways before tilting.

8
A
3.3 Adjusting of stop
The forks are factory-set to stop in 45º. If another setting is required, the Rotator
can be set elec-tronically 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 sec-onds (one
beep), when the position has been stored.
The procedure is repeated to set stop no. 2.
3.4 Setting the speed
1) The forks are placed in horizontal position.
2) The switch 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
Counter-clockwise: Reducing the speed
Maximum tilt time (0-360º): 1 minute.
3) When the requested speed has been reached, the
controller will give signal after three seconds (two
beeps), when the position has been stored.
3.5 Reset the settings
1)The forks are placed in horizontal position.
2) Press switch A, until ve beeps are given. The switch is released and the
controller is set to maximum speed and stops at 45°.

4.0 Optimum safety
4.1 Avoid overloads
The maximum load must not be exceeded. Remember, that the Logiex 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: 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 to the load centre
• Requested tilt degree
• Weight of the load
Example:
- The load centre is placed 120 mm (A) over the forks
- 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 stacker will turn over, when rotating.

4.3 Rotation range
Standard version
The load can be rotated, when the upper edge of the forks are lifted between 250
and 900 mm. Outside this range, the stacker functions as a standard stacker.
Bottom stop
Indicates that the forks are lifted 250 mm above
the oor.
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:
ELF / SELF 1001/920
ELFS / SELFS 1001/890
Marking
The mast lifting capacity and the corresponding centre of grav-
ity 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.
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.

Range of maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm of stacker in special version
Normal range for the maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm, fork height 250-900 mm.
Special version
The top stop can be set to other intervals than between 250-900 mm.
The height of the top stop depends on the width of the stacker, as a wide stacker can
manage a larger sideways movement.
E.g.
On a stacker with 850 mm straddle legs, the stop can be placed at a maximum fork
height of 1880 mm.

4.4 Driving loaded
The Logiex 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.
4.5 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.
When rotating boxes, the operator needs a full over-
view 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.

5.2 Warnings and information on battery
The charging of tubular cell and semi-trak batteries gives off
gases that can be explosive:
- Use of naked ames near the batteries should be avoided
- Charging should therefore be performed in a ventilated room
- The battery cover has to be open to ensure a good ventilation
of the battery.
At temperatures around the freezing point, battery capacity is
reduced by 30%.

5.4 Battery charging
If instructions accompany the battery, these are to be followed.
- Charging must be performed with a charger, suitable for the battery type and
correctly set with the charging voltage for the battery type, see point 2.1. For
connection and operation, see instructions accompanying the charger.
- NOTE! Maintenance-free batteries require a charger, which is intended for
maintenance-free batteries.
- Charging simultaneously with truck operation is not recommended.
- Longest battery life is achieved when charging when battery is:
80% discharged (semi-trak and tubular cell)
70% discharged (maintenance-free)
- Charging of the batteries: Max. once per day
- Semi-trak and tubular cell batteries are to be lled with distilled water after
max. 14 cycles. 1 charging = 1 cycle.
Attention! Why do the fuses
melt?
Do not insert a larger fuse; The fuse acts as a
protector for the pump motor.

6.0 Long live the Logiex
Regular inspection and the replacement of worn or defective parts in good time will pro-
long the life of the Logiex.
“Prevention is better than repair”, therefore ensure:
- Correct usage
- Regular cleaning
- Periodic safety and service inspection
6.1 Lubrication and hydraulic oil
Under normal operation conditions the Logiex requires no lubrication.
All ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life, and moving parts
have self-lubricating bearings or are treated with grease.
The hydraulic system is lled with hydraulic oil of viscosity class ISO
VG 15. An additive is added to the oil:
- Wynn’s Hydraulic Systems Concentrate.
The concentrate reduces friction and wear and protects against
corrosion.
Pre-mixed hydraulic oil with additive is available from the dealer.
The oil is suitable for use in the temperature range -10 to +50° C. A thin-
ner oil is recommended for temperatures lower than -10° C (if necessary,
contact your dealer).
6.2 Oil change
Draining the oil:
1. Bring the unloaded forks down to the lowest position.
2. Most of the oil can be drained by loosening the hydraulic hose
union and briey activating the hydraulic pump with the switch.
3. The remaining oil can be drained from the oil tank by taking
off the twelve clips on the pump and removing the tank.
Oil lling:
4. Fill oil through the lling hole on the tank.
5. Oil quantity: ELF 920 & ELFS 890 approx 1,5 liter
ELF 1200 & ELFS 1170 approx 3 liter
ELF 1400 & ELFS 1370 approx 3 liter
ELF 1600 & ELFS 1570 approx 3 liter

6.3 Fork adjustment
Two of the rollers on the fork bracket are mounted on eccentric
pins, so that they can be adjusted. The adjustable rollers are at
the top.
1. Loosen screw (pos. 91) (key width 5 mm).
2. Eccentric pins (pos. 56) (key width 8 mm) can now be turned
to give the necessary fork adjustment.
3. Adjustment must be made on both sides to ensure uniform
loading of the rollers.
6.4 Adjustment of lifting chain
The chains shall be adjusted so that
- they lift equally
- they are equally tight
- The lifting movement has to stop in the cylinder, before the
mast rolls touch the top stop.
After adjusting, please check:
a: Fork bracket: the forks have to be placed above the
wheels (adjustment, please see 6.3)
b: Adjustable carriage: the forks are to be kept clear of the
oor (adjustment, please see 6.3)
The nuts (pos. 18) are to be adjusted
(nut M12, key width 19 mm).
