    ADOPTING FOR USE ADOPTING FOR USE MOUNTING THE ENERGY TIMBER JAW CRAB TO THE AVANT LOADER The energy timber jaw crab is installed directly to the AVANT loader between the jaw crab and the loader by means of an adapter. In order to operate the energy timber jaw crab, the basic engine should be equipped with separate pressure/return hydraulic hoses.
  • Page 11: Operation

    OPERATION OPERATION SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the operating- and safety instructions before beginning to operate the energy timber jaw crab, and follow them throughout the whole operation. Make sure that the combination is firm on soft ground and slopes, and engage the parking brake during felling and handling.
  • Page 12 OPERATION Often the height of the tree is so great, that the tree will first have to be cut higher up on the trunk. When the tree has broken, use the crane to lift it to a suitable place. Open the jaw and lift it back into felling position.
  • Page 13: Service

    SERVICE SERVICE SAFETY INSTRUCTION NOTE! Pre-service measures The engine of the basic machine has to be turned off. Take care that no parts of the energy timber jaw crab are subject to pressure. Shut the motor and move the pistons of the valve about, in order that pressures in the energy timber jaw crab safely are returned to the tank.
  • Page 14: Hydraulic System's Oil

    Check the appropriate ISO classification (ISO32 or ISO46) in accordance with the circumstances and directions from the manufacturer of the basic machine. Present-day biological oils are not suitable for use in Kesla products. Continuously high temperatures of the hydraulic oil will prematurely age the gaskets of the energy timber jaw crab.
