Commencement of operation DKB-25-(z)/DKD-35-(z)
1.
Remove the clamping strips (8).
2.
Remove the forks from the forklift truck or forklift mast.
3.
Make sure the fork carrier is straight and clean.
4.
Place the box rotator onto the fork carrier of the forklift truck or forklift mast.
5.
Make sure the locking cam slots into the recess in the centre of the fork carrier. If no recess is available:
a)
Grind such a recess, or
b)
Grind the locking cam from the box rotator and attach a sound locking cam on the spot of an existing recess
in the fork carrier. In doing so, make sure the box rotator sits secure in the centre in front of the fork carrier,
so it is unable to slide sideways.
6.
Attach the clamping strips (8) using four bolts M16x60 and secure the bolts tight.
7.
Check to make sure the hydraulic hoses are clean before connecting them to the rapid-action couplings to
prevent any debris from entering the hydraulics of the machine.
8.
Depending on the model, the following hydraulic hoses are connected:
a)
Electrically controlled reversing valve:
Connect the hydraulic supply/discharge hoses to the dual-action connection on the fork carrier. Mount the
switch (4), see chapter 2.6.2, supplied in such a location that the lifting equipment operator will be able to
turn it on and off from his control post, without the risk of mixing it up with any other controls. For a safe
working environment, avoid situations such as inadvertently starting the machine or not being able to
control it. Keep an eye on the correct voltage of the lifting device and the valve. The voltage is shown on the
coil. Connect a 2-core cable as per the electric diagram. Include a warning light, fuse and/or plug socket in
the circuit, if so required.
b)
Four-hose connection:
Connect the two pairs of hydraulic supply/discharge hoses to the dual-action connection on the fork carrier.
9.
Remove the check nuts in the lower plate of the fork carrier of the box rotator. Suspend the forks to the fork
carrier and attach the check nuts.
10.
Adjust the third fork, depending on the width of the boxes to be rotated.
11.
Secure the third fork using the pressure bolts; tightly secure first the bolts and then the lock nuts (140Nm).
The fork positioner of the folding fork (10) must reach at least 150 mm into the slot.
12.
Remove the locking pin (7) at the back of the rotating cylinder before you start rotating. Place the pin into
the ring on the back plate, so it will not get lost.
13.
Subsequently check the hydraulic hoses and electric cables can move freely and check that the system is not
leaking oil.
14.
Check the correct operation of the box rotator by controlling the hydraulic functions.
The WIFO box rotator is now ready to be used.
