2. ASSEMBLING/DISMANTLING:
2.1 THE CONNECTOR PLATE:
Assembly:
Place the connector plate on the saddle plate.
Check that the bolt-holes in the connector plate and the saddle plate correspond with
each other. Fit the 4 bolts and nuts supplied. Tighten everything properly.
After using the product the next time, check the bolts for tightness and retighten them if
necessary.
N.B.:
Always fit the nut on top. Before fitting the connector plate, determine first how the
hoses will run from your rotator to the cylinder.
2.2 THE ROTATOR:
2.2.1 Assembling the rotator drive shaft:
Place the rotator drive shaft in the connector plate.
If the outside measurements of the rotator shaft do not correspond with the inside
measurements of the connector bush, you probably have the wrong connector plate
for your rotator. If so, contact your supplier.
Rotate your rotator shaft until the hole in the rotator shaft is in front of the connector
bush hole. After this, mount the connector pin and the hairpin spring.
2.2.2 Assembling the rotator with flange fitting:
If you are using a rotator with a flange fitting, the drill-hole pattern in the saddle plate
must correspond with the drill-hole pattern in the rotator.
Now, you just fasten the rotator to the saddle plate with a bolt joint, according to the
instructions of the rotator supplier.
2.3 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.
