6.2 Assembly
The hydraulic system of the machine must be
equipped to power the equipment.
If the machine in the original version is not equipped
for this purpose, it is necessary to modify the hydraulic
system to adapt it to the present requirements.
This modification must only be carried out
by authorised personnel from the machine
manufacturer.

For fitting on the crane boom, the upper part of
the rotator is equipped with a coupling fork, with a
fastening pin passed inside it that is secured with a
safety split pin.
The rotator must always hang free vertically with
respect to the shaft.
Make sure to limit the possibility of rotator oscillation
and protect it from the hydraulic system hoses to
prevent it from being damaged.
6.2.2 Hydraulic connection
Make sure that the hydraulic fluid of the crane is clean
and free from impurities, optimal filtration 10 μm.
The hoses that control the rotation must be connected
to each other by means of a nipple in order to allow
the circulation of the fluid for at least 5 minutes.
Subsequently, the hoses are connected to the rotator
following the instructions shown by the symbols
situated on the head and shaft of the rotator.

The hydraulic system of the crane must be equipped
with relief valves that limit the pressure to the required
250 bar, and the flow rate.
The rotation direction of the rotator and the movement
of the bucket must respond to the indications on the
crane controls.
The crane and all the related equipment must conform
to the CE Machinery Directive.
6. INSTALLATION
6.1 Handling
For lifting and transporting, use means
adequate to the weight to be moved.
To ensure safe transport, the equipment must be
securely fastened onto a pallet.
Lifting is carried out together with the pallet using
a lift truck or by harnessing as shown in the figure,
providing belts with a suitable capacity.
See the weight of the components indicated
in Chapter 5 - Technical Characteristics.
Move the load by lifting it very slowly in order not to
create sudden movements that could give rise to
dangerous situations.
The personnel assigned to moving and
handling must wear: protective gloves, hard
hat, and safety shoes with steel toe and
non-skid sole.
Make sure that all personnel are outside
the range of action of the lift truck during
the operations of lifting, transport, and
handling.
Do not stand below suspended loads
