- 3 - Operating Specifications Description Tree Spade OPTIMAL 1100 serial number 111 070 capacity upper root ball diameter 114 cm (44") root ball depth 75 cm (30") dimensions of height 179 cm (70") basic machine width, gate closed 131 cm (52") width, gate open 198 cm (78")
- 4 - Hydraulic Supply All working movements of the tree spade are performed hydraulically. The hydraulic pressure is provided by an axial piston pump to be attached to the PTO-shaft, with an oil tank. We are recommending a hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 4° to 5° E at 50° C, as per Standard DIN 5102, e.g.
- 5 - The movements main lift arm, digging head rotation and rear stabilizer RH and LH are operated directly with control valves (2) through (5). Operation and Transport IMPORTANT: The operators must work absolutely reliable. Before they start with production work, they must have studied these instructions thoroughly.
Page 8
- 6 - The movements lift arm (2) ▲"up" and digging head (3) ▼"rotate out" must be performed alternately until the digging head is fully rotated and there is sufficient clearance to the base frame. When rotating the digging head (3) (digging head ▼"rotate"), the digging head must not touch the base frame, nor the lift arm cylinder, nor the lift arm.
Page 9
- 7 - By means of control valve (2) lift arm ▼"down" the digging head is lowered fully until resting on the ground. With control valve (3), digging head "rotate" ▲"in", ▼"out" the digging head frame is aligned horizontally. Check again if the tree is in the center of the frame and correct, if necessary. 3.1.5 Now digging can commence: control valve (1), rotary switch No.
- 8 - Care and Maintenance Blade Guides The blades are furnished with plastic linings which slide on steel guides. Once the plastic lining is worn to the point that the heads of the countersunk screws are flush with the surface of the plastic linings, they must be replaced to prevent the screws from damaging the guides.

- 17 - 7. Trouble Shooting Nothing moves. (none of the hydraulic functions works) Electricity supply to rotary switch is interrupted. Check fuses at power unit. Hydraulic disconnect is not properly attached. Check attachment. Two hydraulic functions (e.g. gate lock and spades) work at the same time. On one of the valves the plunger does not move.
Page 20
- 18 - The blades do not close properly although the spade cylinders are fully extended. Guides are worn and must be replaced. Blades are bent and have to be adjusted. One function (any) does not work. The electricity supply is interrupted. Check power circuit. The magnet of the respective control valve is defect.
