1.2. Scrapping and recycling engcon makes constant efforts to reduce its environmental impact. engcon's products comprise at least 99 per cent recyclable material. All assembly and service work must take place in compliance with legislation and ordinances governing the environment, health and occupational safety. This refers to all work with residual materials including handling, storage and processing.
2 Safety 9000257 2. Safety 2.1. General It is important that you read and understand all warnings prior to installation work on this product or before you use it and any accessories supplied. The warning texts highlight potential risks and describe how to avoid them. The following warning levels are used in this user manual: DANGER Indicates that an accident will occur if the regulation is not followed.
3 Daily inspections 9000257 3. Daily inspections Check that: - Visible fasteners are tightened (see section 15.2. Tightening torque). - The shaft journal lock attachment points are not loose. - No damage or cracks are present. - The tiltrotator is correctly attached to the machine and tool. - Warning decals are present and legible.
3 Daily inspections 9000257 For troubleshooting, contact your service partner or engcon AB. 3.1.1. Grease recommendation The tiltrotator’s worm gear is factory filled with the recommended lithium-based universal grease (NLGI 2). This grease is often miscible with other greases of similar type.

10 Worm wheel 9000257 10. Worm wheel 10.1. Removal When removing the worm wheel, the tiltrotator is divided so that the bearing ring can be accessed from below. To be able to do this, the connection block has to be removed from the underside of the swivel. Depending on which quick hitch is used, different preparations are required to be able to undo the connection block.
10 Worm wheel 9000257 10. Remove the first 6 bolts that secure the worm wheel. 11. Rotate the upper section relative to the quick hitch to gain access to the remaining bolts and then remove them. 12. Lift off the body. REMARKS Check that none of the locking screws for the bearing ring is touching the worm wheel when it is rotated.
10 Worm wheel 9000257 REMARKS Check that the flat wedges for the quick hitch coincide with the wedge groove for the worm wheel. REMARKS EC226 is available in two versions with 12 or 18 screws which hold the worm wheel in the quick hitch. 8.
11 Bearing ring 9000257 11. Bearing ring 11.1. Adjustment 1. While driving the worm wheel with the hydraulic motor, tighten the bearing ring until it stiffens. 2. Mark the bearing ring and body (A). 3. Torque the bolts in a star pattern as shown below, and then loosen them again. (This step only applies when installing a new bearing ring).
12 Breakout play and rotational play 9000257 12. Breakout play and rotational play IMPORTANT No tool may be connected during checks. The following tools are required for checking lateral and rotational play: - Extended 10 mm Allen key. - Dial indicator with magnetic base. - Long hexagonal socket - Crowbar.
12 Breakout play and rotational play 9000257 EC206B EC209-233 Remarks < 0,10mm < 0,10mm Requires action immediately. 0,10-0,15mm 0,10-0,25mm Correct lateral play 0,16-0,20mm 0,26-0,35mm Requires action soon. >0,20mm > 0,35mm Requires action immediately. 9. Using the crowbar as a lever, read off any changes Figure 35.
