coupler
See Operation of the quick coupler in
the Instructions for Use for each base
machine/excavator.
When the machine coupler is opened a
warning is given that the locking cylinder
has been retracted and is in the open
position.
When the machine coupler is closed, the
message indicates the locking cylinder
is extended and is in a securely locked
position.

A warning text appears on the display if

the attachment is not coupled correctly.
If you do not intended to attach a tool the
warning can be acknowledged.
Press the OK function key.
Return to the start menu, using any key.
A visual warning will be shown at 30

Operation
Before use
Make sure that nobody is within the base machine's risk zone before commencing use.
WARNING!
! The switch to activate the quick coupler locking function
must be protected against accidental operation.
The switch must be marked and easy to identify.
WARNING!
! The pipe to the lock cylinder to open the machine coupler
must, during operation, be directly connected to the tank.
WARNING!
! The pipe to the lock cylinder to close the machine coupler
must, during operation, be continuously pressurised with a
hydraulic pressure between 3 and 12 MPa. The pressure
must not exceed 12 MPa. The base machine’s servo

be between 25 and 35 MPa. The pressure must not
exceed 35 MPa. The oil flow must be 15-20 l/min
IMPORTANT -
! Lifting from the lift hook with the attachment coupled can
result in serious personal injury and/or damage to
property.

EN - use:1
Limitations
The mounted machine coupler changes
the geometry, weight and centre of
gravity of the base machine / excavator.
Values stated in the base machine /
excavator’s lift table must be reduced
with the weight of quick coupler.Bear
in mind the risk of collisions between
the base machine / excavator and the
attachment and/or its load.
The risk of the load or part thereof falling
means that it is prohibited to walk under
raised objects.
Do not modify the characteristics of the
machine coupler with foreign objects. If it
is necessary to lift with a chain or straps,
use the machine coupler’s lifting hook.
The attachment coupled below the
machine coupler is presupposed to
be of a type that is normally used
when working with the base machine
/ excavator. All attachments must
be designed for the size of the base
machine / excavator to be used.
Lifting with the help of the machine
coupler/machine coupler’s lift hook
may only be carried out without the
attachment being coupled.
Lifting loads of 1000 kg or more may
only take place if the base machine /
excavator meets the requirements for the
lifting machine in accordance with the
standard EN 474-5.
2200369_ EN _7721 2019-06-13 English
 During start
Perform daily checks, see Service.
Test run the machine coupler and check
that it works correctly in all respects.
Check that the lift hook works in all
respects.

During use
Operate the base machine and
attachment using gradual movements.
This ensures higher precision and
reduced wear.
Continue to be attentive for signs of
reduced function.
Use the machine coupler within the
specified limits for load, working pressure
and scope. See the type plate

When finished
Loosen and park the attachment on a
firm and flat surface, ensure that it cannot
overturn.
Perform daily checks, see Service.

Lifting with the lift hook

Extend the bucket cylinder to its end
position.
It is presupposed that lifting is carried
out using appropriate and adapted
equipment, for example, chains,
wires or lifting slings, and that the
permitted load is not exceeded. See
the technical data
Do not perform any lifting if the safety
latch on the lift hook is damaged. If
this is the case, contact an accredited
service provider.
The maximum load is calculated
based on the base machine being
driven on flat and firm ground. Work
must be carried out with respect to
the condition of the substrate.

© Rototilt Group AB 2200369_ EN _7721 2019-06-13 English

EN - use:2
 Detach the attachment
Position the attachment horizontally,
resting on firm ground.
The attachment must not change position
when the machine coupler's lock is
opened.
When the machine coupler’s locking
wedge is fully open, the tool can be
detached by slowly retracting the bucket
cylinder.

IMPORTANT - If the attachment can fall or change

! position in connection with the procedure, there is a risk of
damaging the attachment and/or the machine coupler.
Attach the attachment
Open the machine coupler and check
that the indication shows that the coupler
is open.
Position the machine coupler so that its
coupling mechanism is correctly aligned
with the attachment’s attachment frame.
Now slowly pivot the attachment by
extending the bucket cylinder.
Adjust with small shaft or boom
movements if necessary.
Lock the attachment and verify that the
indicator rod has moved into the locked
position.

Inspection of the quick coupler

locking function
Even if the indication shows that the
locking wedge has engaged in the
locked position, perform the following
test to check the attachment is attached
securely:
Push the attachment forwards towards
the ground, see the illustration to the left.
Operate the bucket in this position,
inwards and outwards to check that the
locking wedge has locked the attachment
correctly.
In the event of uncertainty; exit the cab
and conduct a visual inspection.
