    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com SAFETY 4. SAFETY 4.1 GENERAL SAFETY All mechanical equipment can be hazardous if operated without due care or correct maintenance. Most accidents involving machine operation and maintenance are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident oc- curs.
  • Page 11 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com SAFETY CLOTHING You can be injured if you do not wear proper clothing. Loose clothing can get caught in the machinery. Wear protective clothing to suit the job. Examples are: a safety helmet, safety shoes, safety glasses, well-fitting overalls, ear-protectors and industrial gloves.
  • Page 12 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com SAFETY FLYING DEMOLITION DEBRIS Protect yourself and your surroundings from flying debris. Do not operate the prod- uct or carrier with people around it. Keep the cabin windows and doors closed during operation. Window bars are rec- ommended to protect the windows from flying debris.
  • Page 13 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com SAFETY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE Hydraulic fluid at system pressure can injure you. Before disconnecting or connect- ing hydraulic hoses, stop the carrier engine, operate the controls to release pressure trapped in the hoses. During the operation, keep people away from the hydraulic hoses.

  • Page 17 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The operation of the equipment is based on a static force produced by the hydraulic cylinder of the equipment. To increase the product's working life, pay particular at- tention to correct working methods. Crushing is performed in the front of the crusher jaws.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 6.2 DAILY OPERATION Warning! Protect yourself and your surroundings from flying debris and col- lapsing concrete frames. Do not operate the cutter-crusher or carrier with peo- ple around it. The cutter-crusher must not be used under water. Warning! Cutting of steel cables or hardened steel wires with cutter-crusher may be difficult due to the flexibility of the material.
  • Page 19 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 2. Set the engine speed to the recommended engine RPM. 3. Carefully operate the carrier controls to place the cutter-crusher and boom into the crushing position. Quick and careless boom movements could result in dam- age to the cutter-crusher.
  • Page 20 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 6. A safety screen is recommended to protect the operator from flying debris. Keep the cabin windows and doors closed during operation. 7. To cut, position the object between the cutting blades and close the jaws. When the crusher jaws close, a slewing function will work enabling cutting in right angle.
  • Page 21 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 10. Do not use cutter-crusher for moving excavator. 11. When operating the cutter-crusher, make sure that it does not make contact with the carrier boom or hydraulic lines. 12. Do not operate crusher jaws with the carrier's boom stick or bucket cylinders at the end of their stroke (either fully extended or retracted).
  • Page 22 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 13. When the crusher jaws are closed, the cylinder rod is exposed. The operator must take care not to hit the rod with concrete or iron bars. Damage to the cyl- inder rod may cause rod seal breakage and oil leaks. 14.

  • Page 23: Mounting And Dismounting The Equipment

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com OPERATION 15. Do not operate excavator hydraulic cylinders when the crusher jaws are closed. Bending the object up and down when the cutter-crusher jaws are pressed on it may cause excessive wearing of cutter-crusher teeth and cutting blades. 16.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL 2. CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL 2.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL GENERAL REQUIREMENTS In general the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this product. However, since working with the product heats the oil more than the usual excavation work, the temperature of the oil must be monitored.
  • Page 32 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL OIL SPECIFICATIONS Table below shows hydraulic oils recommended for equipment use. The most suit- able oil is selected in such a way that the temperature of the hydraulic oil in contin- uous use is in the ideal area on the chart and the hydraulic system is used to best advantage.

  • Page 33: Oil Cooler

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL Note: We strongly recommend the use of different hydraulic oils in the summer and in the winter if there is an average temperature difference of more than 35 °C (63 °F).
  • Page 34 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL Impurities enter the hydraulic system: I During hydraulic oil changes and refilling. I When components are repaired or serviced. I When the attachment is being installed on the carrier. I Because of component wear. Normally the existing main oil filters of the carrier are used as attachment circuit return line filters.
  • Page 35 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL Note: Component damage is only a symptom. The trouble itself will not be cured by removing the symptom. After any component damage due to impurities in the oil, the entire hydraulic system has to be cleaned. Dismantle, clean and reassemble the crusher and change the hydraulic oil.
