2.2 THE HOSES FROM CRANE TO ROTATOR :
The rotator hose connections used for rotation are fitted with throttle
valves. You may not use the rotator without these throttle valves.
The hoses from the crane to the rotator used for rotation must be
connected to a connection point supplied with a throttle valve.
The hoses from the crane to the rotator, which are used for grabbing, must
be connected to the two remaining connection points on the rotator.
Note :
If it appears that the operation of the grab bucket and/or rotator does not
correspond with the data on your operating handles, then you have
probably connected the hoses incorrectly.
2.3 The hoses between rotator and cylinder :
Note :
When using a rotator purchased from Bakker Hydraulic Products BV, the
hoses that connect this rotator and the hydraulic cylinder should be
ordered from the manufacturer. You can then be sure that the hoses are
the right length and diameter. If required, reinforced hoses can be supplied
as extras by and in consultation with the manufacturer.
2.3.1 Mounting the hoses on a rotator with drive shaft :
Fit a hose to one of the hose connections on the rotator shaft (ensure that
you have the right diameter hose). Now fasten the other end of this hose
to one of the connections on the cylinder.
Repeat this to connect the second hose.
Note :
If the grab bucket does not function properly after mounting the hoses,
swap around the hoses from the crane to the rotator. If the grab bucket still
does not operate to your complete satisfaction, contact the manufacturer
or your nearest dealer.
2.3.2 Mounting the hoses on a rotator with flange fitting
To fit the hose to the hose connection on the hydraulic cylinder, see
Section 2.4.1 above.
To connect the hose to the rotator, please refer to the rotator
manufacturer.
