WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that all employees understand and follow the
following.
• Read and understand the owner’s manual before using or
servicing the Tilt Master.
• For battery powered units, review the additional warnings
included in the “Operation Instructions” section of the
manual.
• Watch the container carefully when the tilter is in opera-
tion.
• Have the caster lock engaged solidly when the tilter is in
operation.
• Verify the container (not just the pallet) is fully back
against the fork carriage before tilting.
• Be alert of the possibility of parts falling from the container
when it is being tilted.
• Before transporting the container, raise the forks slightly.
• The load must be removed and the forks fully lowered
before any work is performed on the hydraulic system.
• Do not use the Tilt Master if damage or unusual noise is
observed.
• Do not perform any modifications to the Tilt Master without
the manufacturer’s approval. Failure to receive authoriza-
tion for changes to the equipment could void the warranty.
• Maintenance and repairs are to be done only by personnel
qualified to perform the required work.
• Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system.
If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a
viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100° F, (ISO 32 cSt @ 40° ),
or Dexron transmission fluid.
• Ensure that safety and warning labels stay in place and
are legible.
• Use only replacement parts either supplied or
approved by the manufacturer.
