OPERATION 4.1 Mandatory application field Grapple loaders are strictly designed for woodlot owners to pull, handle and manipulate timber logs. They are purposely designed with attach- ment lungs to allow for very practical pulling operations by means of log- ging chains. The maximum working pressure of the grapple is 180 bar. The rotator motor is equipped with standard built-in pressure relief valve set by manufacturer at 170 bar so that no further adjustments are required by operators on site.
Südharzer Maschinenbau GmbH will accept no liability for the state and conditions of your tractor three-point linkage. Make sure to install the loader so that no damage can occur to the driver‘s cab during off- road travel or with lifted hydraulics. 4.2.2 Assembling an additional control valve unit As soon as a hydraulic function is no longer required, you can use it to control operation of the hydraulic upper link.
• Check the fixation bolts and the respective cotter pins before start-up. • Close the grapple and set it across travel direction before operating the unit without a load (unloaded state). Close the grapple and position it across the travel direction when tra- velling without a load.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM • DANGER: the hydraulic system operates at very high pressure! • Mind the correct connection of all hydraulic hoses, as you perform branching of the hydraulic cylinders and of the motors! • For due connection of the hydraulic hoses to your tractor hydraulics make su- re that no pressure is available on both the tractor and the attachment side! •...
• While PTO-powering your loader, ensure that the number of PTO- shaft rpm matches the travel speed and that the direction of the revo- lution changes while performing backward travel! • Do not engage the PTO without priory switching the engine on! •...
7.1 Ordinary maintenance The following services must be provided at 10 hour operation intervals: • Lubricating all moving parts by means of the respective nipple head • Recommended lubricant: universal lub grease • Lubricating the extendible load lifting arm using a grease brush •...
