    5. Installing the machine Installing the forest crane • If you want to attach the crane to the tractor’s three-point linkage, you may first fasten the crane to a three-point stand. • The crane may also be attached to the tractor’s rear axle, using brand- specific attachment equipment.
  • Page 20: Connection With The Hydraulic System

    5. Installing the machine Connection with the hydraulic system Before you connect the forest crane to the tractor’s hydraulic system, make sure that the oil types of crane and tractor will match. New forest cranes have performed a test run with hydraulic oil type HVLP 46. This oil type is suitable for hydraulic systems operating under a wide range of temperatures.
  • Page 21: Electric Supply

    5. Installing the machine Protecting the hoses: All hoses must be installed in a protected position, secured against chafing, twisting and jamming. If hoses must run through the operator’s cab, a special shielding must be installed, which will secure the operator against any injury from a bursting hose (lashing hose, escaping hydraulic oil).
