SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you know your equipment before you start using it. Equipment may be operated only by an individual who is thoroughly familiar with its use.

• Before connecting hydraulics to the base machine, make sure that:
  • there is no-one between the attachment and the base machine
  • the base machine is turned off and the parking brake is on.
• When coupling the attachment to the base machine, make sure that:
  • all locking cotters are intact and in order
  • hydraulic hoses are intact
  • there is no skin contact to hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses
  • you do not to pull by the hydraulic hoses, but only by the hydraulic fitting.
• During operation, pay attention to:
  • safe, appropriate travel speed
  • other traffic, people and animals
  • danger zones and objects that block your view
  • children
  • use of turn signal when driving
• NEVER use the machine, if there is someone in the danger zone
• NEVER go under the attachment

During maintenance, the hydraulics of the base machine MUST be turned off. The base machine MUST also be turned off and the parking brake MUST be applied. The equipment must be properly supported, if maintenance can only be performed by going under the equipment. Never go under the equipment if it is not properly supported.

Daily maintenance:

• check general condition of structures, make repairs if needed
• check the hydraulic hoses and fittings, and replace damaged parts

After every 50 hours of operation:

• lubricate points specified in later section of this manual

PARTS OF THE GRAPPLE RAKE BUCKET

USING THE GRAPPLE RAKE BUCKET

When attaching the grapple rake bucket for the first time, make sure it is compatible with the base machine by following the instructions below. Always check the compatibility when attaching the collecting sweeper to a new base machine.

Attaching the grapple rake bucket to the base machine
The grapple rake bucket is attached to the base machine by welded or bolted quick hitches. The machine is connected to connected to a hydraulic system.

Before using the grapple rake bucket, MAKE SURE all locking cotters are secured and intact. When coupling grapple rake bucket to the base machine, please pay attention to the instructions on the use of the base machine.

1. Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and electricity.
2. Apply parking brake. The grapple rake bucket is attached to the coupler on the base machine. Attach the grapple rake bucket to the base machine, and make sure the locking cotter are secured.
3. Turn off the base machine and make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Make sure there is no pressure in the base machine hydraulic system. When connecting, always make sure the hydraulic connectors are clean and the hoses are intact.
5. Check carefully the attachment’s, the base machine’s and the fitting’s trajectory for collision. Make sure that the needed space for hydraulic hoses and -attachments is adequate. Check that the brush roll rotates outwards from the. If not, switch hoses in the base machine.
6. During first hours of operating the attachment, bolts, nuts and connectors might loosen up. Retighten them after the first day of operating the attachment.
