BOLT-ON BRACKETING TO SUIT YOUR FORKLIFT/LOADER
Your Cereal Mixer Bucket will be delivered already fitted with the correct bolt-on, width
adjustable bracketing or 3-point linkage attachments, hydraulic fittings and hydraulic
hose to fit your forklift/loader.
If for any reason the fittings are lost or damaged they must be replaced with the
following specification of fitting;
QUICK-HITCH brackets or LOADER BRACKETS and brackets to fit 3-point linkage, require
the following ‘U’ Bolt fittings;
8 X M16 X 120mm square Bolts
16 X M16 Nylock nuts/washers
For your own safety and the safety of others, always use the correct fittings to attach
bolt-on bracketing to the rear of the unit. Always place the unit on the ground and turn
off the forklift/loader before attempting any changes.
CREATING OFFSET (Before connection to forklift/loader)
The bracketing on your mixer bucket may require off-setting prior to use to enable you
to discharge outside the loader wheels. Please follow the procedure below;
1.
Take note of the dimension between the brackets for re-positioning correctly.
2.
Slacken all 16 Nylock nuts and reposition the bracket by sliding it across the steel
frame to the create the required offset (It is important to maintain the correct
spacing between the brackets and that on tightening up the bolts make sure
that the brackets remain square to the bracket mounting frame and are at the
correct centres).
3.
RE-TIGHTEN THE M16 NYLOCK NUTS.
EACH TIME THE BRACKETS HAVE BEEN
REPOSITIONED ONCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE NYLOCK NUTS WITH
NEW ONES.
ALWAYS ENSURE THEY ARE ALL THOROUGHLY TIGHTENED.
CONNECTION TO FORKLIFT/LOADER
Stand the Cereal Mixer Bucket in an area free from obstruction to allow you to drive the
forklift/loader towards the bracketing.
For Quick Hitch bracketing, connect as you would with any other attachment and the
type of bracketing fitted to the rear of the bucket. Locate any locking pins securely.
Attach the hydraulic hoses, pipes and fittings to your tractor/forklift/loader
while it is
turned off
. The hoses should be marked FEED and RETURN.
FEED
is to drive the auger forwards to discharge.
RETURN
will reverse the auger.
