2 Safety 2. Safety 2.1. General It is important that you read and understand all warnings prior to installation work on this product or before you use it and any accessories supplied. The warning texts highlight potential risks and describe how to avoid them. The following warning levels are used in this user manual: DANGER Indicates that an accident will occur if the regulation is...
3 Design and function 3. Design and function 3.1. General The engcon tiltrotator adds flexibility and efficiency to an excavator and allows it to be used for more operations. The product provides the ability to both tilt and rotate a tool. DANGER Do not exceed tipping load limits.
3 Design and function 3.3. HS and SW quick coupler with sensor The HS and SW quick coupler with sensor monitors whether or not the quick coupler is in the open position. The alarm output is connected to a QLM module mounted on the stick. It uses sound and light warning signals when the tool’s locking cylinder is open, as the primary safety purpose of the quick coupler is to protect personnel nearby.
3 Design and function 3.3.1. Overview Figure 2. Position Description Power supply Alarm indication Indication for open quick coupler Warning lamp Table 2. For indications, see section 7.2.1. Indications...
3 Design and function 3.4. EC-Oil engcon’s system for more efficient tool changes. It provides the ability to switch hydraulic tools without leaving the cab. The system is designed for maximum reliability in harsh environments. It is a fully hydraulic system that handles the connection of tools under full system pressure.
3 Design and function 3.5. ePS/C2C Together with the tiltrotator, engcon's ePS rotation sensor creates an ePS-compatible excavator guidance system – a concept that provides the selected system with more functions. It provides full control of the bucket and the ability to see its exact rotational position.

Risk of personal injury and damage to property. WARNING If you have any doubts concerning the safety aspects of your knowledge, the equipment or work, contact a dealer or engcon Nordic AB. Incorrect installation affect safety. IMPORTANT Assembly and installation may only be carried out at a workshop authorized by the manufacturer.
Page 20
4 Installation Installation 1. Fit any O-rings if such must be used. 2. Position the dog bone linkage to align with the appropriate holes in the upper section of the tiltrotator. 3. Shim the width if necessary. 4. Insert the intended shaft journal. 5.
4.4. Electrical and hydraulics For electrical and hydraulic hose installation, refer to the separate installation instructions supplied with the selected control system. Also available on the website or by contacting engcon. IMPORTANT Maintenance and repair of the electrical system may only be carried out by professionally qualified persons.
4 Installation 4.5. On completion 1. Affix the warning decals supplied in a conspicuous place in the operator's cab, without obscuring operator visibility. WARNING Replace damaged or illegible signs and decals before using the machine. Risk of personal injury and damage to property.
5 Operation 5. Operation 5.1. Before and during use Check your base machine manufacturer's recommendations for calculating tipping loads, and be sure to include the increased weight and reach the product entails. DANGER Do not exceed tipping load limits. The weight of the product and the increased reach may impair stability.
5 Operation 5.2. Lifting points Approved Not approved Figure 12. Figure 13. Figure 14. Check max permitted load for the lifting hook, as stamped on the lifting hook and rating plate. Designed with safety factor 5:1. WARNING The base machine must be equipped with a load- holding valve on the boom/stick and an overload warning when using a lifting hook on the tiltrotator.
5 Operation WARNING When lifting, make sure the load burdens both grab arms. Make sure the load cannot shift and only burden one grab arm. When all force is exerted by only one arm, the grab is at risk of opening. Risk of injury and property damage.
5.8.1. DC2 control system (for machines with double-acting hydraulic circuit) The engcon control system allows simultaneous operation of all functions. Refer to separate user manual supplied on delivery. Also available on the website or by contacting engcon.
5.9. Changing tools The following instructions concern general operation of the engcon quick coupler. For further information and instructions, refer to the separate user manual for the quick coupler concerned.

5 Operation 2. Activate the hydraulics to operate the locking bolts. HS/SW with sensor: The sound and light warning signals are activated when the locking cylinder is in the open position. 3. Check that the indicator rod is out. Indicator rod location may vary depending on the tiltrotator model.
Page 29
5 Operation 5. Connect the tool by moving the quick coupler toward one shaft on the tool. Q-Safe: The sound and light warning signals are activated. 6. Raise the tiltrotator very slightly above the ground so that the tool moves towards the quick coupler. IMPORTANT The machine may only be operated with the quick coupler...
5 Operation 9. Check that the quick coupler lock function engages and that the indicator rod no longer protrudes from the quick coupler. Q-Safe: The sound and light warning signals are deactivated when the coupler is correctly connected. HS/SW with sensor: The sound and light warning signals are deactivated when the locking cylinder is in the closed position.
5 Operation 4. The locking cylinders are activated and open position is reached when the indicator rod is visible. Q-Safe: The sound and light warning signals are activated. HS/SW with sensor: The sound and light warning signals are activated when the locking cylinder is in the open position.
Page 32
5 Operation 2. Move the quick coupler towards the tool. To avoid overloading when connecting the pallet forks, the quick coupler locking pins must be turned away from the forklift tines. 3. Connect the quick coupler to the tool. 4. Raise the tiltrotator very slightly above the ground so that the tool moves towards the quick coupler.
6. Check that the quick coupler lock's lock function has engaged. In the case of engcon’s other quick couplers, the blue indicator rod will no longer protrude from the coupler. Indicator rod location may vary depending on the tiltrotator model.
5 Operation 3. The locking bolts are now in the open position and the tool is free. Carefully raise the tiltrotator from the tool. 5.10. Fitting and setting up quick coupler locks DANGER Check the attachment points regularly and be alert for the formation of cracks.
