    3.0 How to operate the Rotator 3.5 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 13: Adjusting Of Stop

    3.0 How to operate the Rotator 3.6 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.
  • Page 14: Optimum Safety

    4.0 Optimum safety ATTENTION Moving parts 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 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 - 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.
  • Page 15: Avoid Overloads

    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.
  • Page 16: 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 tilting. 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.
  • Page 17: 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 Rotator 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 Rotators with lifting heights, being higher than: 920 mm SELFR 890 mm SELFSR Bottom stop Adjusted so that the forks are lifted 400 mm above the floor.
  • Page 18 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. Normal range for the maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm, fork height 400-900 mm. Range of maximum load 1000 kg /700Nm of Rotator in special version Upper edge forks 1880 1450 Max. sideways moment Max. sideways SELFSR 560x1250 moment Max. sideways with 850 mm straddle SELFR 680x1250 moment legs SELFR 560x1250...
  • Page 19: Driving Loaded

    4.0 Optimum safety 4.4 Driving loaded The load centre is never allowed to exceed the centre line of the wheels. The driving speed is reduced when lifting the forks above 400 mm. 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 Rotator is placed on an equal floor. The load is not allowed to be dislocated during rotation. 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.

  • Page 21: Long Live The Rotator

    6.0 Long live the Rotator Regular inspection and the replacement of worn or defective parts in good time will prolong the life of the Rotator. “Prevention is better than repair”, therefore ensure: • Check battery every 14 cycles • Correct usage • Regular cleaning • Periodic safety and service inspection (see the back page) • Due to safety reasons, the below points have to be checked every 3 months: - Loose screws and nuts have to be tightened up. - Breaches, cracks or deformations are not allowed on the load-bearing parts. - Wearing parts, such as brakes, wheels and bearings, are to be adjusted or changed continuously 6.1 Lubrication and hydraulic oil Under normal operation conditions the Rotator requires no lubrication. All ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life, and moving parts have self-lubricating bearings or are treated with grease.
  • Page 22: Oil Change

    6.0 Long live the Rotator 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 in the bottom of the cylinder. Activate the hydraulic pump by pressure on the switch. The oil will run out. 3. Take off the side plates. 4. Take off the cables of the battery and push the battery box to the right side. 5 The remaining oil can be drained from the oil tank by taking off the oil tank. 6.

    6.0 Long live the Rotator 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.
  • Page 24: Hydraulic Pump And Gear Motor

    6.0 Long live the Rotator 6.5 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. NOTE! 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. NOTE! The motor will be damaged by superheating, if it operates for a longer time or if it is not cooled down. 6.6 Cleaning When cleaning the Rotator, do not direct the jet onto bearings, seals and electric components. Cleaning of the plastic screen (polycarbonate) The screen is to be washed with slightly warm water added a neutral cleaning material, and afterwards washed with clean water.
