OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Exercise caution when using the crane and rotator and act in accordance with the crane's
safety instructions. Lateral loads on the rotator axle should be avoided. For example, prior to
lifting, loads must not be pulled using the crane or the crane's base vehicle. A broken hose
or nipple can cause the load to fall or rotational movement to continue. Damage to hoses or
devices can cause the release of a high-pressure liquid jet.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If the rotation of the rotator becomes uneven and sometimes stops, the equipment should be
checked. The pins in the upper housing of the rotator should be greased regularly.
The rotator's upper housing, axle, hoses and nipples should be checked every week for cracks.
Any damage or oil leaks must be rectified immediately. Leaks in the lead-through seals manifest
themselves, e.g. by weakening the grapple's closing force or causing the grapple to open.
When carrying out the annual crane inspection, the bolt fasteners should be checked to
ensure that they are correctly
tightened. Under no circumstances must the rotator be repaired by welding. Replacement of
the rotator's seals and other components must be done in good conditions. Contact your local
sales representative for more information.
Warning!
NEVER permit any inexperienced persons to drive the tractor and/or machine!
