Application Assembly Adjustment for cross beam width – The Head Spindle VST 100 is adjusta- ble for crossbeam widths from 20 cm to 32 cm. – For the centric position of the cross- beam, the spacer plates are uniformly positioned on the two inner sides of the fork head.
Page 29
Application Assembly of hydraulic components Caution Risk of poisoning! – Swallowing hydraulic oil or contact with the skin can result in health problems. – Avoid any body contact with the hydraulic oil. Check all screwed connections and cou- plings for tightness and leakage. After pressurization of the hydraulic system, the components can no longer be tight- ened by hand.
