Adjusting the strap distance (on the adjustable PalTurn™ only)
This operation must be done without load and with the PalTurn
To adjust the position of a strap, using the pulleys of the PalTurn™:
▪ Go to the end of the PalTurn™ bar and hold the handle of the pulley with one hand.
▪ With the other hand, lift up the indexing lever.
▪ Whilst holding the latter, push or pull the whole pulley towards you until the indexing
lever is in an indexing position on the key of the main bar.
▪ Then release the handle of the indexing lever.
▪ Check that the pulley is properly indexed on the key of the main bar by pulling or
pushing the pulley assembly again (this time, without locking the handle of the
indexing lever).
From 10 t models, the handles must be situated on the top of the tube (shear

Imbalance sensor (Option)
An imbalance system can be fitted to your PalTurn™. It is designed
to show the imbalanced position of the PalTurn™ by a sound and/or
light signal, i.e. to show that the PalTurn™ has reached an inclination
angle greater than 6° with respect to the horizontal plane. This
system is only a means of information to the user with regard to the
angular position of the PalTurn™, and it does not stop the rotation.
As soon as the signal is noticed by the operator, the load should be
quickly lowered and held in a safe manner. The equilibrium of the
load can be re-established (perfect horizontal position during the
lifting), before lifting again and turning of the charge.
Lower attachment (Option)
It is important to make sure that the load to be hung underneath PalTurn™ does not exceed its capacity.
The general warnings on the 1
Always remove the accessories hung under the anchoring point, when the device is used as load
turner.
The lower attachment system fits inside the PalTurn™ so as to be able to place the latter on the
floor or any other stable surface.
