3. Putting into Service
The tree spade with the back plate is attached and secured to the power unit.
Both the hydraulic connecting hoses of the tree spade are to be connected
to the hydraulic disconnect of the auxiliary hydraulic circuit of the power unit.
The plug of the electric control cable is to be plugged into the socket on
the power unit (see section 2.2.2).
Make sure that hydraulic working pressure and oil flow of power unit meets
the requirements as laid down in the operating specifications on page 4.
IMPORTANT: The hydraulic disconnect of the tree spade and
the power unit must match and must be connected
properly. Faulty connections are extremely dangerous.
If the back-flow of the hydraulic oil is impeded, a pressure relief will divert the
excess oil into an overflow tank. Possible reasons could be ill-matching disconnects
or an excessive oil flow. In that case the oil flow must be reduced as per instruction of the
manufacturer of the power unit.
After the first working day, the screws of the tension blocks must be checked
and re-tightened, if necessary.
IMPORTANT: When operating the power unit, follow the
instructions of the operating manual of the
power unit !
