The collision protection optimizes the work process, protects against overloading of the arm, and at the same time acts as a pre-pressure for the attachment tool used – e.g. GreenTec LRS Chainsaw The required amount of oil to be supplied to the HXF multi carrier is either 25, 40 or 50 l / min. all depending on the tool and setup used.
INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE For any use of the machine other than that described in this section, GreenTec is not liable for any damages resulting therefrom. The responsibility then rests solely with the operator. The HXF multi carrier are available in several variations and sizes, but they all have the same basic structure and operation and are therefore similar.
There are fixed protective screens, which are designed to protect the user against unintentional contact with the electric valve, accumulator and hydraulic connection, as well as protection of components from external dirt, impacts etc. Front Back GreenTec HXF Multi Carrier (HXF front: top & HXF back: bottom)
The break-back system / collision protection is fastened during preparation for use before operation and can be adjusted in 3 different levels / angles. GreenTec HXF multi carrier: automatic hydraulic break-back system with tool pre-pressure (AHS)
With any kind of adjustment of the flow regulator without instructions from GreenTec, both the guarantee and risk assessment basis for the machine lapses. GreenTec is not liable for damages as a result, and the risk is then solely the responsibility of the operator.
4.3.4 WORKING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT The swingarm on the HXF multi carrier comes as standard with an adjustable bracket for setting the working angle. The working angle of the HXF multi carrier can be adjusted from approx. 0 ° (vertical position) to approx.
4.3.5 SUPPORT LEGS FOR MOUNTING There are mounted 3 pcs. solid support legs on all HXF models.
