BASE MACHINE • Ensure that the cab is equipped with the proper safety guards for LaBounty applications. The cab MUST be equipped with an approved Falling Object Protection Structure (FOPS) and cab guarding. The FOPS must meet the requirements of SAE standard J1356. A transparent, shatter-resistant shield covering the front of the cab, is also required.

INSTALLATION ATTACH TO EXCAVATOR Use only approved rigging hardware rated for loads greater than the weight of the attachment. Lifting points are for moving the attachment only. Do not lift other objects or use the attachment in a cable- hung application. 1.
Do not check for hydraulic leaks with your hands. Hydraulic oil could inject into the skin. Seek immediate medical attention if an injection injury occurs. 6. Visually check for hydraulic oil leaks or hydraulic hose interference. Note: The hydraulic circuit must be bled before putting the attachment into service (see “Bleed the Attachment Hydraulic Circuit”...

This will extend the jaw locking wedge. 10. Release the auxiliary circuit control, then have a helper quickly turn the hydraulic lock to the closed position. If performed correctly, the jaw locking pin will be fully extended.

7. Slowly cycle back and forth, at least five times, to full stroke. Be careful not to apply full operating pressure to the cylinder at this time. 8. Check the base machine hydraulic fluid level and fill if necessary. 9. Slowly extend and retract the excavator cylinder to it’s limits. Check for interference between the attachment and the excavator boom or stick.
Visual Inspection _______Ensure the identification plate is present and legible. Replace if necessary. _______Inspect all tool decals and ensure they are legible. Replace if missing or illegible. Contact LaBounty customer service for replacements. _______Visually inspect the structure of the attachment for damage. If damage is found, do not use the attachment and repair immediately.
40 HOUR INSPECTION CHECKLIST Inspect Hardware _______Check the play between the pins and bushings on the rotating head. If the play is greater than 0.6 mm, replace the bushings and pins. Lubrication _______Grease the pinion and teeth of the rotation bearing (See “MRX Body Grease Fittings” on page 21). Blade / Teeth Maintenance _______Measure the play between the blades.
LUBRICATION Recommended Grease Types Only use grease that is acid-free, contains resins, is not hygroscopic, resists aging and has a temperature range suitable for the application. After underwater use carefully clean the pins and bushings. Eliminate all trace of oxidation before lubricating again.

Hardsurfacing must be inspected and maintained. For hardsurfacing, LaBounty recommends; • FabTuf 960 or equivalent If you have questions about what hardsurface material to use, contact LaBounty Customer Service at 1-(800) 522- 5059. Guidelines • Connect the ground pole of the welder to the part to be welded, as close as possible to the welding area. The ground pole must be connected so that the current does not cross the hinges or the hydraulic cylinder.
HYDRAULIC TEST PORTS The MRX is equipped with hydraulic test ports that will allow you to measure cylinder pressure for troubleshooting purposes. Accessing the Hydraulic Test Ports Trapped hydraulic pressure may be present after Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while the base machine is shut off.
