1.1  Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of a Wallenstein Log Grapple!

The Wallenstein 

LXG520R

 Log Grapple is suitable to mount 

on small excavators in place of the bucket. It is designed for 
loading / carrying logs in a small-scale timber industry or 
landscaping business.

The utility log grapple requires two auxiliary circuits from the 
main control valve to open, close, and rotate. If two circuits 
are not available, a selector valve kit must be installed. The 
mounting bracket and whip hoses are not included with the log 
grapple and must be supplied by the customer.

Safe, efficient and trouble-free operation of this Wallenstein 
product requires that anyone using or maintaining the machine 
reads and understands the Safety, Operation, and Maintenance 
information contained within the Operator's Manual.

Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on 
to new operators or owners. Call your Wallenstein dealer or 
the Distributor if you need assistance, information or additional 
copies of the manual.
