OPERATION

• Fit the rubber pads arms to the foot of the grab and attach with two lynch pins per arm.
• Insert the lifting pin from the chosen connective apparatus through the lifting eye of the Scissor grab.
• With the unit in the locked open position proceed towards your intended pack.
• Adjust the actuator wheels (TAG-SG-5 only) so when the wheels make contact with the top of the pack the arms are positioned within the bottom row of blocks.
• Position above the intend pack and lower the grab until the wheels rest on the pack.
• Lower completely to fully close the grab.
• Once closed begin to lift, the arms will then begin to close on to the bottom block.
• Continue to lift until the grab has lifted the pack clear of the ground/pallet.
• Once the pack is clear slide a restraint net (optional extra) under the pack and hook the net into the four profiled restraint net hooks in the main frame (this must be adhered to if lifting overhead).
• Drive the forklift to the desire position and then lower the grab until the pack comes into contact with a firm surface and actuator wheels once again resting on the pack.
• The rubber pads arms will now have released from the bottom block, but then continue to lower until the grab has fully closed.
• Lift the grab clear of the pack and the unit will now be in its fully locked open position ready for the next operation.
