  • Page 7: How To Operate The Rotator

    3.0 How to operate the Rotator 3.1 Pallet handling The Rotator functions as an ordinary stacker, when the forks are placed in horizontal position. For proper operation, stand behind the handle. Push/pull - raise/lower ELFS When handling closed pallets - use the Rotator with straddle legs!
  • Page 8: Use Of The Rotator

    3.0 How to operate the Rotator 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 355º 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. NOTE! The load has to be supported sideways before tilting. 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 benefits: • The rotation stops precisely • The gear is protected, because sudden start / stop are minimised.
  • Page 9: Adjusting Of Stop

    3.0 How to operate the Rotator 3.3 Adjusting of stop The forks are factory-set to stop in 45º. If another setting is required, the Rotator 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.
  • Page 10: Optimum Safety

    4.0 Optimum safety 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...
  • Page 11: Avoid Offset Loads

    4.0 Optimum safety 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. Marking 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.
  • Page 12: Rotation Range

    4.0 Optimum safety 4.3 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 floor. NOTE: Top stop is only placed on stackers with lifting heights, being higher than: 920 mm ELFR 890 mm ELFSR Bottom stop Indicates that the forks are lifted 400 mm above the floor.
  • Page 13 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 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. Normal range for the maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm, fork height 400-900 mm. Range of maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm of stacker in special version Upper edge forks 1880 1450 Max. sideways moment Max. sideways Max. sideways ELFSR 560x1250 with moment moment 850 mm straddle legs ELFR 680x1250 ELFR 560x1250...

  • Page 15: Driving Loaded

    4.0 Optimum safety 4.5 Driving loaded The Rotator is designed for use on even and level floor. 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. 4.6 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 floor. 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 floor, the items or persons in the working area.

    6.0 Long live the Rotator 6.5 Adjustment of steering wheel chains - Set the handle in its middle position. - Adjust the nuts (1, 2, 3 and 4) and bring the wheels into parallel. 6.6 The hydraulic pump and the gear motor The hydraulic pump has a S3 “periodic intermittent duty” of 10%. This means that the pump in total is allowed to operate 1 minute for a period of 10 minutes. If the pump operates more than 10%, the motor will be damaged due to superheating. Bleeding the hydraulic system With a load of 50-100 kg, the forks must be raised and lowered to top and bottom position 2-3 times. Gear motor of Rotator The gear motor has a ”short time under constant load” of 10 minutes (S2=10 minutes). This means that the motor is allowed to operate with the maximum load for 10 minutes. Hereafter it has to be cooled down to normal temperature.
