Original Instructions
• Ambient temperature above 30 °C (86 °F) (see
chapter
High ambient temperature
).
The oil temperature in the hydraulic attachment must be
between 0 °C (32 °F) and +80 °C (176 °F) during opera-
tion.
The full capacity of the hydraulic attachment can be
achieved when the oil temperature is approx.
60 °C (140 °F).
n
Make sure that there are no people in the danger
zone.
n
Start the carrier as instructed by the carrier manufac-
turer.
n
Let the carrier warm up until the operating tempera-
ture prescribed by the carrier manufacturer has been
reached.
n
Put the carrier in its working position.
6.2 Switching the hydraulic
attachment on and off
After properly attaching the hydraulic attachment to the
carrier, the hydraulic attachment can be operated using
the carrier's hydraulic system. All functions for normal
carrier operation remain intact.
The hydraulic attachment is switched on and off using
electrical and hydraulic signals.If you have any questions
about electric/hydraulic commands, consult the carrier
manufacturer and/or the Epiroc Customer Center /
Dealer in your area.
n
Switch the hydraulic attachment on and off, as de-
scribed in the carrier's operating instructions.
n
When leaving the driver's cab, set the safety switch/
lever for the electrical/hydraulic attachment installa-
tion to the "OFF" position.
Carry out the above actions to prevent any unin-
tended start-up of the hydraulic attachment.
6.3 Functional test
Always carry out a functional test before putting the hy-
draulic attachment into use to check that all hydraulic
lines and connections are tight and that the hydraulic at-
tachment works without any problems.
n
Position the hydraulic attachment on the ground.
n
Briefly switch on the hydraulic attachment and exert
light pressure on it.
n
Check the hydraulic lines and make sure that the hy-
draulic attachment works without any problems.
with a rotating mechanism:
n
Switch off the tamper plate.
n
Using the carrier boom function, raise the hydraulic
attachment so that it is suspended in a vertical direc-
tion.
n
Rotate the hydraulic attachment in clockwise and an-
ticlockwise directions using the connected carrier
function
»Rotate«
.
all models:
n
Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment if oil
escapes from the hydraulic lines or if other function
defects occur.
n
Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter
De-
pressurising the hydraulic system
).
n
Only use the hydraulic attachment again after having
repaired all leaks and functional defects.
