5.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RECOMMENDED USE
The scrap shear is designed for use in cutting steel sections and scraps with
maximum efficiency to prepare them for the furnace or for transport. For more
information, contact your local dealer.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Principles of installation
Almost all carriers meeting mechanical and hydraulic requirements can be used to
operate products. See “Product specifications” on page 72. The product is installed
on the carrier much in the same manner as installing a bucket or other attachment.
A flange-mounted products requires also a separate mounting bracket.
The products is connected to a carrier's hydraulic circuit with an installation kit. If
the carrier is already fitted with an installation kit, the installation requires only
suitable hoses and fittings. For product installation, secondary relief valves in the
bucket cylinder circuit and the carrier auxiliary circuit are needed. If the carrier does
not have a suitable kit to run attachments, one must be built. This may require a
more complex installation, including new piping and additional valves such as a
flow control valve or pressure relief valve.
Suitable kits can be ordered from the manufacturer or their local dealers, carrier
manufacturers and their dealers, or third party suppliers.
Note: In models equipped with a system to prevent rotation of the product,
remember to unlock the system before starting operation. See “Mounting and
dismounting the product” on page 34.
Hydraulic oil
In general, the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this
product.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature is -20 °C (-4 °F) to 80 °C (176 °F). If you must work in
a temperature lower than -20 °C (-4 °F), the product must be preheated before any
operation can begin. Start the operation with low hydraulic flow.
Note: The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be monitored. Ensure that oil grade
and monitored oil temperature together guarantee correct oil viscosity.
