Page 5: We Thank
We thank you for the confidence you’ve showed us in your choice of Mecanil SG160 grapple saw. This small and lightweight grapple saw, with a weight from only 190 kg, works the same way as the popular bigger grapple saws SG220 and SG280. -

Page 10: Installation
The grapple saw can perform slightly different depending on the machine which it is mounted on. The SG160 grapple saw work very well on trucks with long cranes. The SG160 with radio control is popular, because no power cable needs to be installed along the crane boom. Only 2 hydraulic lines are needed (grapple open &... - Page 11 NOTE! All machines are different. Different machines have different hydraulic pressure and flow.

Page 15: Basic Installation Instructions
NOTE! Pin Direction on SG160 with 69/30 attachment! If the pin is positioned in the wrong direction, the pin will collide with the oil tank/RC box. The grapple saw will also work with less oil flow but the saw will run slower. - Page 16 Rotator SG160 with radio control: To allow free (endless) rotation for the grapple saw you need a rotator with the option of channeling the oil for grapple open / close through the axle of the rotator. In other cases the hydraulic lines can be installed to bypass the rotator. ...
- Page 17 SG160 with cable control: Install the control cable to the cabin. Make a junction for the cable on one or several points along the boom. This can be done in many ways depending on what kind of base machine the grapple saw is installed on.

For example, even if it’s the end of your work day when the battery runs out, do not leave it connected. As the grapple saw’s electrical system still is active and could deep-discharge the battery. Deep-discharging a LiFePo4 battery may destroy the cells indefinitely. www.mecanilproducts.com © 2019 Mecanil Oy Ab Page www.mecanil.fi... - Page 19 Controlling the grapple saw by remote safely: SG160 RC-T is controlled only by the remote. No additional control box is to be installed. Example: Install a small plate to the side of the cranes remote, where the grapple saw’s remote can be placed.
