1. Remove the
clamping strip (2)
.
2. Remove the forks from the forklift truck or forklift mast.
3. Make sure the fork carrier is straight and clean.
4. Place the box rotator onto the fork carrier of the forklift truck or forklift mast.
5. Make sure the locking cam slots into the recess in the centre of the fork carrier. If no recess is available:
a) Grind such a recess, or
b) Grind the locking cam from the box rotator and attach a sound locking cam on the spot of an existing recess
in the fork carrier. In doing so, make sure the box rotator sits secure in the centre in front of the fork carrier,
so it is unable to slide sideways.
6.
Attach the clamping strip (2) using two bolts M16x60 (3) . Secure these bolts tight! (140 Nm)!
7. Check to make sure the hydraulic hoses are clean before connecting them to the rapid-action couplings, to
prevent any debris from entering the hydraulics of the machine.
8. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the dual-action connection on the fork carrier.
9. Remove the check nuts M16x25 (33) in the lower plate of the fork carrier of the box rotator. Suspend the
forks to the fork carrier and attach the check nuts M16x25 (33) .
10. Adjust the third fork, foldaway model (46) , depending on the width of the boxes to be rotated. The fork
positioner (37) of the folding fork must reach at least 150mm into the slot.
11. Secure the
fork positioner, foldaway model (37)
using the
pressure bolts M16x45 (36)
; tightly secure first
the bolts and then the lock nuts M16 (35) .
12. Turn the lever of the ball valve (49) so it opens, before rotating. It will be open when the lever is parallel to
the hydraulic pipe.
13. Subsequently check that the hydraulic hoses can move freely and check that the system is not leaking oil.
14. Check the correct operation of the box rotator by controlling the hydraulic functions.
The WIFO box rotator is now ready to be used
