Other Safety Guidelines 
and Precautions
1.  PowerTilt should only be used to perform 
tasks for which it was designed. Abusing 
the product and/or using it for purposes for 
which it was not intended can expose the 
operator and others to hazards as well as 
result in damage to the PowerTilt, carrier and/
or other attachments.
2.  Modification to the PowerTilt is done at 
the owner’s risk and may void the Helac 
Corporation, Attachments Division warranty.
3.  PowerTilt is designed for a maximum bucket  
width as noted below. Applying the full force 
of the excavator or backhoe to the corner 
of a wide bucket (e.g. corner digging with 
a wide bucket) may cause premature wear 
and/or reduced equipment life. It is also 
recommended that the bucket widths are not 
exceeded.
4.
  A decrease in breakout force may be 
experienced due to the increased tip radius 
and the added weight of the PowerTilt to the 
stick.
5.  It is the owner’s responsibility to be sure all 
safety equipment is in place and operating 
properly at all times. If safety decals fade, 
are damaged or become unreadable from a 
distance of 10 feet, they should be replaced 
immediately.
