Preparation
•
Basic shop tools are required, including 3/8" wrenches and
sockets. An overhead lifting device is required to lift and
move the grapple and bucket.
•
Hydraulic lines are disconnected in this procedure. Prepare
to catch fluid drips and have a container handy to store
parts that have been removed.
•
Park the trailer on dry level ground, with the wheels
chocked. Make sure the log grapple trailer and the area
around it is clear and free of debris.
•
Fully close the grapple. Move the boom off to the side
of the trailer and set the grapple on the ground. Shut the
engine off.
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury from escaping high-
pressure oil. Actuate controls after engine
shut down to relieve trapped pressure before
loosening hydraulic connections.
