Changing the bucket:
To change the bucket, stay close to the ground to avoid the bucket falling.
Remove the coupling pins from the ends of the axles, then the axles, then
remove the bucket and replace it with another one.
Fitting an auger or grapple:
Follow the same instruction as for the bucket, then connect to the hydraulics.
Fitting a loading bucket:
/!\ IMPORTANT ! /!\
Using a loading bucket increases the risk of tipping:
A counterweight must be used and the way of operating the machine must be adapted.
The loading bucket is installed at the end of the boom, instead of the adjusting beam (see image).
▪
Do not use the swing,
▪
Move the machine with the bucket in the lowest possible position,
▪
Keep the bucket on the ground when working on a slope,
▪
Do not exceed the maximum load (
cf Abaques
),
▪
Do not forget to deactivate the “
Push Pull”
for this change.
To replace another tool already in place on the retro excavator with the loading bucket,
you should:
-
For safety reasons, keep the bucket on the ground,
-
Remove the two coupling pins which are keeping the tool in place (casing and
cylinder)
-
Wiggle the controls to remove the excess oil in the hoses
-
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses, making sure you are protected from the oil, or just
disconnect the hoses from the “
Push Pull
”.
*Remember to order the “Push Pull
Bucket” line from Chargeur Plus*
The “Push Pull Bucket” line is safer than the original hoses because to connect and disconnect the
hoses, you just have to disconnect them and install a cover. Whereas, with the original hoses, you
need to protect yourself from the oil coming out of them, and prepare a container under the hoses to
collect the oil. With the Push Pull line, there are no oil leakages.
