18.2.4 Automatically tilting hydraulic stabilizer
The automatically tilting device system is applicable on
request to the stabilizers of series “4”, “5”, “6”.
With such system, the stabilizer leg rotation is induced
by the rod stroke. Therefore, in order to prevent the
accidental operation (and the consequent cylinder
lowering or raising), it is necessary to lock the cylinder
by fully slipping the lock pin (
1
) into the hole of the slewing
pivot (
2
), in the corresponding working or travelling
position, and then inserting the split pin (
3
) (Pict. 36).
When placing the order, you have to specify the angle
required for the travelling position, preferably choosing
between 45° or 90°.
For angles smaller than 45° (Pict. 37), first of all you have
to pull out the internal profile of the mechanical strut, after
removing the fulcrum pin.
Turn the fully retracted cylinder up to the desired travelling
position, holding it in this position by proper means.
Place the extracted profile beside the external one, with
the fulcrum eyelet in correspondence of relevant fork, and
paying attention that both of them are lined up to the seam
of the two fulcra.
Draw the internal profile, so that it beats against the
bottom of the external profile, considering that the
thickness of this one is 10 mm, and mark by paint,
through the hole on the external profile, the hole to carry
out. Also check that, when the cylinder is in vertical
position (fully extended), the internal profile remains
guided for a sufficient stretch (
x > 20mm
) inside the
external one.
Cut the internal profile in correspondence of the line
marked, and drill the hole.
Mount again the shortened and drilled internal profile,
checking that, in correspondence of the desired position,
the holes on both profiles coincide.
In this case, the slewing cylinder locking into travelling
position is possible only by the pin (
4
) (Pict. 38), slipped
inside the hole of the mechanical strut (
5
) and the split
pin (
6
). The pin (
1
) must be slipped into the slot near to
the rod end, and locked by the split pin (
3
). In working
position instead, you have to lock the cylinder by the pin
(
1
), and the split pin (
3
).
