OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS – TM, TMS

•

Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of the Tilt Master model box/basket rotator understand and follow
these instructions!

The standard model Tilt Master is suitable for use indoors in most industrial locations. It is intended to be used to
transport, lift and rotate rigid, sturdy tote boxes or baskets containing nonhazardous materials so that they can be
gradually, manually unloaded. The model TM is intended for use only with open-bottom pallets or skids. The model TMS
can be used with either open- or closed-bottom pallets.

Loading:

The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the machine dataplate located on the top of the fork carriage. It indicates the
net capacity of the tilter, based on loads having a center of gravity not exceeding 20” horizontally and 20” vertically. The
load must be evenly distributed across both of the lifting forks.

Warning:

Note:

mining the maximum centers of gravity and working load that can be placed on the fork carriage.

To load the Tilt Master, fully lower the fork carriage. Push the tilter’s forks under the skid or container, or place the skid
or container on the forks with a fork truck, until the skid or container is back against the carriage. The forks can be raised
slightly to lift them off of the load rollers, and the load can be moved to the work location.

Do not exceed the load ratings stated above. Injury to personnel or permanent damage to the machine could

Warning:

The Tilt Master is furnished with a constant-pressure (dead-man style) push-button control.

Press the “UP” push-button to turn on the power unit to rotate the forks upward. The forks will rotate only while the
control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the forks will stop and hold position.

Pressing the “DOWN” push-button energizes the lowering valve to allow the forks to rotate downward by gravity (the
motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the forks’ movement, and the unit will hold its position.

Caution:

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY-POWERED UNITS

Note: If this product has the 24V powered traction-drive option, consult that option’s information for more

specific details regarding the batteries and battery charger.

Warning!

! Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases.

A battery explosion could result in loss of eyesight or serious burns.

! Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries. Charge batteries in locations that are clean, dry, and well

ventilated. Do not lay tools or anything metallic on top of any battery. All repairs to a battery must be made by
experienced and qualified personnel.

! When working with batteries, remove personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. Batteries can

produce enough energy to weld jewelry to metal, causing a severe burn.
! Always have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
! Operating the battery with a low battery voltage can cause premature motor contact failure.
! Do not expose the tilter or charger to rain or adverse conditions.
! Replace defective cords or wires immediately.
! Check the battery’s water level frequently.

Battery Charger Operating Instructions

Never operate the charger with either of the cables coiled. Operating a battery charger with the cord either coiled or

wrapped around itself could cause the cord to overheat, melt, and cause a short-circuit or a fire.

Connection: the ribbed wire of the charger’s output cord must be connected to the battery’s negative (-) terminal. The

non-ribbed wire (with words printed on it) must be connected to the battery’s positive (+) terminal.
When properly connected, the charger will indicate the status of its output:

Flashing green LED – the charger is not seeing a good connection to the battery.
Solid yellow LED – the charger is providing charging current to the battery.
Solid green LED – the charger is maintaining a fully charged battery.

Plug the charger into a standard 115V receptacle. If an extension cord must be used, keep it as short as possible.

Caution:

cords, receptacles, and other equipment.

The battery charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely without risk of harming the battery.

Remember to unplug the charger before moving the equipment. Failure to do so could cause damage to

Troubleshooting

If the unit does not operate, check all of the wiring connections to make sure they’re both mechanically and electri­cally sound – specifically at the battery, the motor, and at any location a wire is connected to the chassis. Also, make
sure the quick-connect plug on the end of the pendant control cord is plugged in correctly (if applicable).

A fully charged lead acid battery in good condition at room temperature should read 12.65 volts. At 11.9 volts it is
considered to be fully discharged and in need of charging. When checking battery voltage, wait at least 1/2 hour
after the charger has been turned off before checking the battery’s voltage.

If the batteries don’t seem to be taking a charge, check the charger’s 115V supply circuit and the charger’s output with a
voltmeter. If all check okay, confirm the battery’s state of charge using a hydrometer or a voltmeter.

•

Warning: Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures before
beginning work. Fully lower or secure the forks, and ensure that all system pressure and power have been removed,
before attempting to work on the electrical or hydraulic systems.

•

Fully lower the unit before beginning any inspections or work.

•

Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices and their associated electrical and hydraulic
circuits should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment

•

Caution: 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 of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C), or non-synthetic transmission fluid.

THE POWER UNIT’S OPERATION – TM, TMS

The electric / hydraulic pallet tilter utilizes an electric motor directly coupled to a gear-type hydraulic pump to produce the
needed fluid pressure and flow to allow the cylinder(s) to perform the work of tilting a container.

A hydraulic manifold houses the hydraulic control components, and is bolted directly onto the gear pump.

The power unit’s hydraulic components are all rated for 3,000 psi working pressure.

• Important parts of the power unit include:

- The electric motor operates on 12 VDC deep-cycle battery supply.

- The gear pump. Its shaft is coupled directly to the shaft of the electric motor.

- The check valve. Its purpose is to prevent the backflow of fluid through the pump. In this way it allows the fork
carriage to be held at a given elevation indefinitely.

- The pressure relief valve. Its job is to open a path for fluid to flow back to the reservoir in the event that the fluid
pressure built up by the pump exceeds 3,000 psi. Thus the system cannot see more than 3,000 psi.

- The lowering solenoid valve. This is an electrically operated cartridge valve. It contains a screen to keep contami­nants from entering the valve.

- The pressure-compensated flow control spool. This rests under the lowering valve, and regulates the fluid flow back
to the reservoir when the valve opens. It allows the forks to always lower at the same rate regardless of whether
there is a load on the fork carriage or not.

- The hydraulic tilt cylinder(s). These are displacement-style cylinders. They have a bleeder valve located at their top
end to allow air to be bled from the hydraulic system.

- The safety velocity fuse. This is a device that is installed in the cylinder’s hose port. It closes quickly in the event of a
catastrophic hose failure to prevent the fork carriage from collapsing down. The forks remain stationary until pres­sure is reapplied to the system.

- The hydraulic fluid. The system uses HO150 hydraulic fluid. Any anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity grade of
150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) such as AW-32 or Dexron transmission fluid are acceptable.

When the forks are to be tilted, press the “UP” push-button. The motor turns, and in turning it spins the hydraulic

gear pump. Oil is drawn from the reservoir through the suction filter and into the pump. The pump pushes the then­pressurized oil through the check valve and out to the tilt cylinder(s).

When the fork carriage is to be lowered, press the “DOWN” push-button. The lowering valve opens, bypassing the

check valve and allowing the oil in the cylinder(s) to return back to the reservoir through the return hose. The rate at
which the fork carriage lowers is regulated by the internal pressure-compensated flow spool.

N
G
L

I
S
H

• In the event that the fork carriage creeps down slowly after releasing the “DOWN” control, it will be necessary to
remove the lowering cartridge valve for inspection and cleaning, as follows:

- Lower the forks until they are fully lowered.

- Remove any load from the forks.

- Remove the nut holding the solenoid coil on the valve stem, then remove the coil, and then unscrew the valve from
the manifold.

- Inspect the valve for contaminants, and the valve’s o-rings and backup washers for cuts, tears, or other damage.

- With the valve immersed in mineral spirits or kerosene, use a thin tool such as a small screwdriver or a small hex
wrench to push the poppet in and out several times from the bottom end of the valve. The valve should move freely,
about 1/16” from closed to open position. If it sticks in, the valve stem could be bent and will need to be replaced if it
doesn’t free up after cleaning. Blow the valve off with a compressed-air gun while again pushing the poppet in and
out.

- Inspect the bottom of the manifold’s valve cavity for contaminants.

- Again with the thin tool, press on the middle of the flow control spool located in the bottom of the cavity. It should
move down and back up freely.

- Reinstall the valve into the manifold, tightening the valve with approximately 20 lb-ft of torque.

• If the fork carriage lowers extremely slowly, or not at all, the cylinder’s velocity fuse could be closing. This can be
caused by air in the hydraulic cylinder(s). To bleed the air from the system:

- Lower the fork carriage until it is fully lowered.

- Remove any load from the forks.

- Hold a rag over the cylinder’s bleeder valve (it looks like a grease zirk) and open the valve about 1/2 turn with a 1/4”
or 5/16” wrench. Oil and air will sputter from the valve – once no air is observed, close the valve.

wheels, seals, brushes, batteries, and the battery charger.

The warranty period for original dynamic components is 1 year

. For wearing parts, the warranty period is 90 days.

warranty period for products shipped from authorized distributors by up to 30 days to account for shipping time.
