capacity or range.
A. Operation:
1. Ensure that the Mechanical Grapple
’s capacity and range are appropriate to the
object to be handled.
2. Adjust tine position by removing adjustment bolt and rotating the tine until holes
in leg, spacer and tine line up. Reinstall the adjustment bolt.
Position #1 is for objects approximately 24”-36” in diameter.
