Checking out
KAUP-attachments are delivered pre-lubricated. If the attachment has been in storage
for a longer period, we recommend that it be lubricated again before being placed in
service. See 6. Maintenance and onwards.
Failure of the safety devices (e.g. the pressure relief valve and the non-return
valve) and incorrect connection of the controls to the actuators can cause
malfunctioning of the attachment and damage to it.
After mounting and before initial operation, check the functions and the
identification of the attached equipment with the movement directions of the
operating elements (operating lever, joystick, etc.).
4.2.1 Bleeding the hydraulic system
Start the lift truck.
Move the sideshifter repeatedly in both directions to maximum extent.
Rotate the rotator left and right several times.
Repeatedly cycle the clamp from the fully open to the fully closed position.
Inspect the hydraulic connections for leakage.
4.2.2 Adjustment after putting into service
The hydraulic system is under pressure. During work on hydraulic components
oil spurting out can cause injuries. Unload the system in accordance with the
operating instructions of the lift truck manufacturer. In the case of injuries
caused by high pressure oil, inform the works physician and seek out a
specialist immediately.
Setting the clamping pressure with a pressure limiting valve
Attachments are adjusted ex-factory to a pressure of 160 bar.
A change in pressure is necessary only, if the load
slips or
is damaged.
