This bucket’s scoops have been fastened together during preparation for shipment. Being a clamshell bucket, it may open unexpectedly if lifted with these restraints removed. Only after the bucket is placed under the crane and installed, ready for use, should the fastening be removed. 2. In installing this bucket on the crane, be sure that the proper size wire cables are used. The sheaves, as well as any wedges and sockets on this bucket, are sized to accommodate the proper size cables. Other size cables may not seat properly and will loosen, Be sure that the cables are seated in the sockets properly. 3. The wire cable from which this bucket is suspended should be inspected regularly and replaced if worn, broken, or kinked. 4, Proper guarding is placed around the sheaves to keep the cable within the sheave grooves. This guarding should be maintained so that the cables will not jump the sheaves, or be pinched or cut, which will reduce the safety factor. 5. Know the weight of the bucket being used and calculate the expected loads to be picked up. Do not operate the bucket outside the recommended capabilities of your crane equipment. 6. Never position the bucket empty or loaded over any person. 7. Do not “cast” the bucket as control of the positioning may be lost and cables may jump the scores of the crane drum, 8, Never let anyone get between the jaws of the bucket - even if the bucket is lying open on the ground. 9. Never let any personnel ride in the bucket. The bucket is not designed to be an elevator. 10. Maintain a regular inspection of the pins and other parts suspending the bucket and be sure that they do not become unduly worn. This can be easily done during regular lubrication. 11, Repair the bucket when damaged, Do not operate with loose corner arms, hinges, teeth, ete,[Nir < Remote Control Open the receiver enclosure on the bucket and turn the power switch to the “ON” position. Then tum the transmitter switch to the “ON” position, while listening closely to the receiver. When the transmitter powers up, you should hear a faint click from the receiver, telling you the system is working. Close and latch the enclosure door. With the bucket in the fully open position, and the cylinder in the fully extended position, lower the ‘bucket onto the material to be handled. Lower the cylinder down to the fully retracted position by lowering the crane’s hoist. The cylinder will automatically lock. The crane operator can now lift the hoisting cable to close the bucket. With the bucket in the fully closed position, place it over the discharge area. Depress and hold the “OPEN” button on the transmitter until the bucket is fully open. If the “OPEN” button is released, the bucket will stop opening. The bucket can be partially opened by quickly pressing and releasing the “OPEN” button on the transmitter. NOTE: To conserve life of batteries, the radio transmitter and receiver should be powered down after every use. If the “EMERGENCY STOP” button is pressed (Red button on top of the transmitter), the radio unit will completely shut down and cease to function. To reset the unit, turn the transmitter to the off position, wait 5 seconds, then turn it back on.SAAD RWiliren>—< Manual Control Use 25 feet (7.62m) of 3/8" (0mm) rope. Secure the rope to the rope attachment on the manual control valve, located on the manifold, (See drawing SP-0072) Run the rope through the rope link in the head of the bucket. With the bucket in the fully open position, and the cylinder in the fully extended position, lower the bucket onto the material to be handled. Lower the cylinder down to the fully retracted position by lowering the crane’s hoist. The cylinder will automatically lock. The crane operator can now lift the hoisting cable to close the bucket. With the bucket in the fully closed position, place it over the discharge area. Lightly pull the rope and hold it in that position until the bucket is fully opened and empty. ‘The bucket can be partially opened by quickly pulling and releasing the rope. NOTE: The rope must be removed during normal radio controlled operation.Nr —< Shim Stop Adjustments Different weight materials may cause the bucket to react differently. If the space between the stop and the top of the cylinder hub is greater than 3/8” (9.5 mm) while the buckel/ grab is suspended and fully loaded, the shims will not need to be adjusted. A large gap could cause a sudden shock to the erane when the material is discharged. Too many shims could cause the bucket! grab not to close completely, Extra shims are located on the top of the head and should always be stored there. The shims are 1/4" (6,3 mm) thick. NOTE: It is normal for the cylinder to extend up to 1-1/8” (28.5 mm) in the fully loaded, closed bucket/ grab position,NMA eA TET shai Dean eon MD MAINTENANCE NOTES ‘Your Anvil Attachments bucket has been designed and constricted to provide years of dependable operation, The performance you realize is direclly related to the maintenance land service you perform onthe bucket Inspect and lubricate dally A visual inspection ofthe bucket should be made at the start of ‘every working day. Particular attention should be paid 10 the condition of the wie rope (sce “Safety Precautions” for unsafe wite rope conditions), pins, sockets and other pats suspending the bucke. All pivot points should be inspected to detect excessive wear and “sop” in the connection. Operating. the bucket with loose pivot connections can cause severe damage 0 the operating parts of the unit and may result in personnel injuries. ‘Wom or broken parts should be replaced immediatly before returning the bucket to operation Ifan inspection revels damage for any other sign of metal fatigue, a certified welder should refer to the manual for proper repair for proper repair echniques All pivot points shouldbe lubricated every 8 hours with a good general-purpose grease. Alemite grease fitings have been provided at each point in the most convenient place posible to fase maintenance. Any broken tings should be replaced immediately and regreased Certain applications will require more frequent lubrication example: dredging, handling mateial_in sandy” dusty environment. Where these conditions exist, the bucket should be lubricated at least every 4 hours of operation, if not more frequently, Alte grease not sulficient A sufficient amount of new grease should be used to completely Aisplace all of the old grease and embedded abrasives. I pin vill not accept grease fist remove and clean the iting to ensire that grease flows feely through i IF it wil stil not accept the grease, clean the grease passage and bushing. Do not operate the bucket ntl all joints have been properly greased. For normal operations and conditions, a recommendation of Syn-Blend Red rease or equivalent must be used, See Appendix A. for characerstis and spesications, By following these simple precautions and maintenance procedures, you canbe assured of maximum production and long Tite from your Anvil Attachments bucket ‘The radio control receiver, located inthe receiver housing (on the bucket/ grab, should only be opened by a qualified clectrical technician, Even though the electronics are enclosed ina splash proof housing, the bucket grab should never be submersed in water The 12 Volt DC battery, located in the receiver housing, should be fully charged, before operation. ‘The bucked grab should be greased after each shift with a high grade multi-purpose prease, See grease location drawing SP-0079 and recommended grease page 45). The buckeV grab should be inspected for hydraulic leaks, and wire rope weat after each shift. To prevent damage and preserve the life of the bucket! arab during storage: ‘A. The radio unit and transmitter should be removed from the bucket! grab and stored ina dry storage area with the batteries, removed, (Note: not maintaining the charge on the battery in storage can reduce the life of the battery.) B, Bucket/ grab should be cleaned and greased. ‘The wire rope should be lubricated to protect against corrosion, (Note: During long term storage the bucket grab should be re-greased every yuth. Ina salt water environment bucket/ grab should he re-greased every 2 ‘weeks and worked if possible.) . The eylinder should be completely retracted so the chrome rod isnot exposed to the environmentBleeding & Oil Fill Instructions Note: The use of a crane is necessary in the operation. 1. Make sure all valves, fittings and hoses are tightly secured. 2. Place the bucket/ grab in the fully open position with the cylinder fully extended, 3. Check the oil in the reservoir. (Warning: Remove reservoir fill eap only with the eylinder fulh extended. Always remove the filler cap slowly. Never remove the flanged reservoir top except to clean the reservoir.) Note: Take extreme care not to contaminate the area around the fill cap before removal. Remove the cap on the top of the reservoir. Look inside and note the level of the oil. There is a down pipe in the reservoir you will be looking into (See DWG. SP-0075). The level of the oil should be in the pipe, not below it, Under normal circumstances you cannot overfill the reservoir. Fill as needed with a high quality hydraulic oil (AW-46 or equivalent). Replace the fill cap on the reservoir. 4, Tum on the radio receiver and transmitter. Using the crane hoist, raise and lower the cylinder eight times (o fully extend and fully retract position while pressing the button on the transmitter each time you raise the cylinder. This will prime the system and help air escape from the lower section of the cylinder. 5, Repeat step 3. 6. Using the crane hoist, lower the cylinder to the fully retracted position, With the transmitter button not hoist the crane cable slowly to try and raised the cylinder. If the cylinder rod extends more than mm) before the bucket starts to close, Stop! then lower the cylinder to the fully retracted position, On the top of the cylinder end cap there is a bleeder valve much like the bleeder on automobiles, brake system. (See DWG. SP-0073 item #2 for location) Loosen the bleeder valve until oil or air escapes. Slowly hoist the crane cables until the cylinder reaches a locked position. Tighten the bleeder valve. Repeat this step until the cylinder locks in the desired position. (Note: Never retraet the eylinder with bleeder valve open as this will let air back into the system) 7. Repeat step 3, 8, FinishedPNA Rit NOTE! ‘A. Any time a lot of oil has to be added to the system as in an oil change, air bubbles can be trapped in the oil making it more difficult to bleed the system. B. Care should be taken to prevent contamination of the hydraulic system. C. Itis normal for the cylinder to extend up to 1-1/8” (28.5 mm) in the fully loaded closed bucket position. (See shim stop adjustment)WARNING: REMOVE RESERVIOR FILL CAP ONLY WHEN THE CYLINDER IS FULLY EXTENDED RESERVIOR CAP DOWN PIPE - NOTE: CYLINDER MUST BE FULLY EXTENDED!!

(After cleaning, preheat the weld area to approximately 350° F (177°C) through full plate thickness in an area of 6” around the weld area.) Be sure to maintain an interpass temperature of 150°F (66°C) while applying weld metal, Use a Low Hydrogen (E7018) Welding Electrode. If the area to be welded needs a repair due to cracking, the crack should be completely removed. Remove the crack by grinding or are gouging prior to welding, When adding a replacement part to a bucket or grapple, simply prepare the base metal as described in the cleaning and preparation sections. Make sure that both the adjoining metals are pre-heated to 350°F (177°C). Welding should be performed within the amperage and voltage range specified by the manufacturer of the welding electrode. If cracks ate not completely removed before repairs are made, there is an excellent chance that the repair weld will also crack. After the crack has been removed, if the prepared area is deep and has a narrow opening, grinding may need to be performed to widen the opening, The bevel should be between 30 and 45 degrees. Too small a bevel causes cracking or lack of penetration. Too large a bevel will cause excessive welding and warpage of the base metal. Remove the weld slag on any interpass welds before applying additional weld metal. After Welding: If the ambient temperature is below 30°F (0°C), allow the weld to cool as gradually as Ref: NOTE: possible. The weld should cool to a temperature you can touch with your hand, (Do not take a hot unit and immerse it in water). AWS D1.I Structural Welding Code In case of heavy repairs, cracking may occur up to 48 hours after welding is complete. Be sure to visually inspect the weld at least 48 hours after welding, Ifyou have any questions call our main office at 1-800-335-4722. *(E-110) 110-18 is appropriate but 7018 (H-70) is more forgiving and less prone to cracking,[Vir —S Maintenance & Inspection Report (UPPER SECTIO!
