Work Tool Installation and Removal
`
1.1. Installation of the Work Tool
2.1. Removal of the Work Tool

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure.

Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.


------ WARNING! ------

Check valves in the hydraulic system may allow pressure to exist in the hydraulic lines after the engine has been stopped. Pressure must be relieved prior to servicing the components of the hydraulic system. Failure to relieve pressure prior to servicing may result in personal injury.



NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before operating any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

After collecting all fluids in suitable containers, dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


Installation of the Work Tool

Note: Ensure that the Work Tool is compatible with the host machine. Consult any AVSpare dealer for information on matching the Work Tool to the host machine.

Note: If the host machine is equipped with a quick coupler, consult the operating manuals for the quick coupler before you attempt to mount the Work Tool.

  1. Make sure work tool is sitting on a level surface with coupling link in vertical position.

  2. Clean all of the pins. Grease all of the pins.

  3. Move the stick of the host machine into position.

  4. Install all of the pins. Lock all of the pins.

  5. Stop the engine of the host machine. Cycle all of the hydraulic controls in order to relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system.

    Note: Auxiliary hoses for the hydraulic system are available for your machine. The hoses must be long enough to prevent any damage when the machine moves or the Work Tool is moved.

  6. Clean all of the hydraulic fittings before installing the hydraulic fittings. Inspect all of the hydraulic fittings. Repair any damaged fittings. Replace any worn fittings. Connect all of the hydraulic hoses.

  7. Remove the device for the transport lock.

  8. Start the engine of the host machine. Cycle the hydraulic controls. Check for any hydraulic leaks. Repair any hydraulic leaks.

  9. Position the Work Tool just above the ground.

  10. In order to purge the hydraulic system of air, tilt the Work Tool left and tilt the work tool right four times. When you are purging the hydraulic system, do not apply any extra hydraulic pressure to the Work Tool.

Removal of the Work Tool

  1. Tilt the Work Tool until the bottom of the Work Tool is parallel to the ground.

  2. Lower the Work Tool until the tool is on the ground.

  3. Stop the engine of the host machine. Cycle all of the controls in order to remove the pressure from the hydraulic system.

  4. Close the valves on the auxiliary lines.

  5. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic fittings. Remove the hydraulic fittings. Install the covers over the hydraulic fittings.

    Note: Dispose of the oil in a proper manner.

  6. Remove the pins.

  7. Start the engine of the host machine. Move the host machine away from the work tool.

  8. After the work tool has been removed, coat all of the bushings in the pin bores with grease. Coat all of the unused pins with grease.

Note: If the host machine is equipped with a quick coupler, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the quick coupler that is installed on the host machine for proper removal of the work tool.

Note: If the Work Tool is stored for an extended period of time, place grease in the bores of the Work Tool.
