Commissioning the Sidelifter

1. Connect the remote control lead from the Sidelifter control cabinet to the remote control box.
2. Start the engine in the following sequence:
   • Check the truck park brake is applied.
   • Ensure all the Emergency stops are released and radio control is working.
3. If the lifting chains have been stowed in the toolbox during shipping then these need to be fitted as follows:
   • Turn the function selector switch to Stabiliser Mode and place the feet on the ground.
   • Select High speed () on the remote control box and raise the bottom arms to their maximum.
   • Fit the lifting chain top loop over the G Pin.
   • Raise the top arms until the chains hang freely in the air.
   • Check that the lifting lugs, which are left and right handed, are correctly positioned, i.e. ensure that the left and right lifting lugs are in their correct positions. If not, lower the top arm, and turn the relevant hammerlock around. Raise the top arm and check lug position is now correct.
   • Return the lifting arms to their stowed position ensuring the lifting chains are in the chain trays beside the twistlocks.
4. Always turn off the radio control when not in use.
