ATTACHMENT DESCRIPTION The MRX is the answer to most primary and secondary demolition applications. The interchangeable jaws’ designs facilitate improved penetration and rapid material downsizing. MRX is used to process concrete and certain metals, using the proper jaw set. Do not use MRX for high tensile steel, or other non-approved applications. Use in non- approved applications is considered misuse.
INSTALLATION ATTACH TO EXCAVATOR Use only approved rigging hardware rated for loads greater than the weight of the attachment. Lifting points are for moving the attachment only. Do not lift other objects or use the attachment in a cable- hung application. 1.
5. Torque all hydraulic fittings to values shown in “Inspect / Torque Bolts” on page 28. Do not check for hydraulic leaks with your hands. Hydraulic oil could inject into the skin. Seek immediate medical attention if an injection injury occurs. 6.
• Turn the rotation flow control knob clockwise to decrease flow. MRX500 has a conical style flow adjustment. To adjust... 1. Loosen the jamb nut. 2. Turn the knurled knob to adjust the flow. Thread the knob towards the top to increase flow. Thread the knob towards the bottom to decrease flow.

Installation Check Point (#1 of 4) Look at each jaw pin in each MRX body hook. Ensure each jaw pin makes full contact with the base of the body hook. A properly seated pin will have no space between the jaw pin and the base of the body hook. Do not continue until the pin is seated properly.

Jaw can become unhooked from the MRX base if locking screw is missing. Ensure the locking screw is in place and properly torqued. Jaws can fall and crush bystanders and damage equipment. Installation Check Point (#3 of 4) Ensure the hydraulic lock is set to the closed position and that the locking screw is inserted and properly torqued.

Using the locking plate as a spanner, turn the cylinder adjustment nut until the bolt holes on the locking plate line up with the threaded holes in the jaw.
Review all Installation Check Points □ Look at each jaw pin in each MRX body hook. Ensure each jaw pin makes full contact with the base of the body hook. A properly seated pin will have no space between the jaw pin and the base of the body hook.

If damage is found, do not use the attachment and repair immediately. _______Inspect all welds and ensure there are no cracks or damage. If damage is found, do not use the attachment and repair immediately.
LUBRICATION Recommended Grease Types Only use grease that is acid-free, does not contain resins, is not hygroscopic, resists aging and has a temperature range suitable for the application. After underwater use carefully clean the pins and bushings. Eliminate all trace of oxidation before lubricating again.
Stay at least 75 ft. (23 m) when moving. 1. Cycle the tool until the upper jaw blade begins to overlap the lower jaw blade. 2. Measure the blade gap. If the gap is larger than 0.4 mm, add shims between the guide blade and blade seat until the gap is 0.4 mm - 0.4 mm.
1. Remove the blade bolts and remove the blade from the blade seat. Note: Bolts may need to be removed by metal arc gouging. 2. Ensure the blade seat is clean. 3. Flip the blade or install a new blade. 4.

1. Slowly close the jaws until the tip blade meets the cross blade. 2. Measure the gap between the tip blade and cross blade. This gap should never exceed 0.4 mm 3. If the gap is larger than 0.4 mm, remove the cross blade and insert shims until the gap is within 0.4 mm. 4.
