Hose Burst Protection Valves
The hose burst protection valves (if fitted) prevent the loader
or backhoe falling in the event of a hose burst. These valves
may be fitted on rams which raise or lower the loader arms,
the boom or the dipper.
Checking
1
Raise the loader arms fully. Raise the boom to about
45°. Raise the dipper to the horizontal.
2
Stop the engine
3
Using the control levers, try to lower the loader, boom
and dipper. Push the levers fully to the 'lower' position.
If there is any movement, adjust or replace the hose
burst protection valve as applicable.
Lowering a Load - In a Failure Condition
During normal operation, the engine must be running before
a load can be lowered. The following paragraphs describe
how to safely and correctly lower a load in the event of
engine failure or a hose burst; we recommend that only a
competent maintenance engineer perform the procedures.
After lowering a load do not use the machine until the
manual over-ride screw has been reset (Loader HBPV, refer
to
Pressure Testing - Loader Lift Ram
) or a new end cap
and valve assembly fitted (Boom HBPV, refer to
Hose Burst
Protection Valves - Dismantling and Assembly
), otherwise
the valve will not operate as intended.
!
DANGER
Do not stand underneath the raised load during the
lowering procedure. Stand clear and to one side until the
load has been safely lowered. Make sure that the area is
clear of other people before lowering the load. If you do
not follow these precautions you or others could be
killed or seriously injured.
