4. 

Bolt the mounting bracket to the grapple mount using 
the ten 5/8"NC x 1-1/2" bolts supplied. Torque-tighten to 

180 lbf•ft (215 N•m).

5. 

Remove the bucket from the excavator and install the 
excavator mounting bracket in its place. Reuse the bucket 
pins and fasteners.

5.3  Hydraulic Connections

IMPORTANT! Customer-supplied hydraulic hoses must 
meet SAE J517 or DIN 20066 standards for high-pressure 
hydraulic hoses and hose ends.

Using quick-disconnect fittings on hose ends can 
cause a pressure drop and flow restriction.

Most excavators are equipped with auxiliary hydraulic circuits 
for attachments. Auxiliary control valves can be adjusted to 
provide the correct fluid flow at the proper relief pressure setting 
for attachments. 

Auxiliary circuits must have hoses or steel tubes routed along 
the excavator boom out to the boom nose. 

For this grapple, whip hoses must be provided by the customer 
to connect the grapple control valve to the auxiliary circuit at the 
boom nose. Hose length can vary depending on the excavator. 

If the grapple is going to be removed and installed, use shut-off 
valves or quick-disconnect fittings on the whip hose ends. 
The hydraulic lines are isolated if disconnecting or connecting, 
reducing the risk of releasing high pressure fluid and fluid loss. 

If disconnecting hydraulic lines, always use dust caps to keep 
dirt and contamination out.

5.3.1  Hydraulic System Safety

• 

Make sure that all hydraulic system components are kept 
clean and in good condition.

• 

Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system before working 
with it. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high 
pressure.

• 

Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make 
sure that all the connections are tight, and the hoses and 
fittings are not damaged.

• 

Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs 
of swelling, wear, leaks, or damage. A swollen, worn, 
damaged, or leaking hose can burst and cause a hazardous 
and unsafe condition.

• 

High-pressure hydraulic fluid leaks:

  

-

Do not use your hand to check 
for hydraulic fluid leaks. Hydraulic 
fluid escaping under pressure can 
penetrate the skin causing serious 
injury or death. Use a piece of 
cardboard or wood to check for 
leaks. 

  

-

Wear the correct hand and eye 
protection when searching for a 
high-pressure hydraulic leak.

  

-

Seek medical attention immediately if injured by a 
concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid. 
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop after 
hydraulic fluid pierces the skin's surface. 

• 

Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, 
fittings, or hoses. Do not use tape, clamps, or cements to 
attempt a repair. Doing so can cause sudden failure and 
create a hazardous and unsafe condition. 

• 

Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes, or hoses, 
or reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.

• 

Make sure that hydraulic hoses are routed to avoid chafing.

• 

Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-
limiting device to a higher pressure than specified.
