INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTERNAL ROTATION
CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Always relieve all hydraulic pressure of the base machine
by working the controls in all directions with the engine off
before beginning work on any hydraulic component. See
Figure 3-6.
2. Shut off the base machine and check the hydraulic sys-
tem pressure. It should be zero PSI.
3. Hydraulic oil becomes hot during operation. DO NOT
let hydraulic oil get in contect with the skin as it will cause
severe burns.
4. Whenever hydraulic lines are disconnected, hoses must
be capped and ports much be plugged to prevent contami-
nation of the hydraulic system.
5. Install a 1/2” diameter hydraulic line (customer supplied)
from the attachment’s return fi tting, located in the right
hand hydraulic manifold, to the base machine’s hydraulic
reservoir or return line. Secure the line properly to the exca-
vator boom and stick.
Escaping fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before discon-
necting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Use a piece of cardboard to search
for leaks. If ANY fl uid is injected into the skin, seek im-
mediate medical assistance.
