7.1.3 Install Procedure – Typical
CAUTION
Personal protection equipment required
when handling. PPE should include
appropriate clothing, gloves, safety
eyewear and shoes.
CAUTION
Both operator and assistant must be
qualified in handling procedures. The
operator must have an unobstructed
view of the assistant and load at all
times. The operator shall maintain
full control of the machine at all
times.
Crush hazard. Keep clear of crush
points and moving parts. All
directions and signals must be
agreed upon in advance. Take
signals from only ONE person.
The following describes basic procedures used to
attach the Ho-Pac to a machine equipped with a
typical pin on type mounting arrangement.
Procedures may vary and you should always follow
the instructions in the manual that is provided by the
carrier manufacturer. For carriers equipped with a
quick coupler, refer to the owner’s manual furnished
by the coupler manufacturer for instructions.
The machine operator and an assistant shall perform
the following procedure:
1.
Operator: Move carrier and Ho-Pac to a firm level
surface. Position the Ho-Pac with the hose side
facing toward the carrier.
2.
Assistant: Check that the Ho-Pac is stable and all
loads are supported.
3.
Operator: Maneuver the stick in between lugging
of the mounting bracket. Align the stick pin holes
to the holes in the mounting bracket.
4.
Assistant: Clean pins of rust and debris before
they are installed. Insert the stick pin and secure
with keepers.
5.
Repeat procedure for installing link pin.
6.
Lubricate pins.
7.2 Connect Pressure and Return Lines
CAUTION
Hydraulic circuits differ between
machines. Improper set up can
damage the Ho-Pac or carrier. Only
qualified personnel, having knowledge
of the machine’s systems should
install.
Identify whether the carrier's pressure line is located
on the right-hand or left-hand side. Do not guess. The
Ho-Pac will not operate if these hoses are crossed.
IMPORTANT
Read, understand and follow the instructions included
with the installation kit. The installation is not complete
until the hydraulic circuit is tested for flow and
pressure. Tools required for testing include a flow
meter and pressure gages. Test procedures, along
with a form to record the results of the flow test, can
be found in the Technical Data section of this manual.
Questions regarding testing procedures should be
directed to Allied Technical Service.
IMPORTANT
Contamination can diminish service life. Prevent
contaminating the oil. Always clean the area around
connections prior to opening the hydraulic system.
