INSTALLATION & SAFETY
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE UNLOADING, INSTALLING OR USING THIS BUCKET:
1. This bucket’s scoops have been fastened together during preparation for shipment.
Clamshell buckets 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. To remove the restraints, shipping straps, unbolt the side with a single hole on the bowl
arm (See Figure A). Rotate strap and bolt to the open bolt hole on the opposite bowl arm
(See Figure B). The bucket is now ready for operation.
FIGURE A FIGURE B
3. When 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.
4. The bucket is only to be operated by qualified and fit personnel. The wire cable from
which this bucket is suspended should be inspected regularly and replaced if worn,
broken, or kinked.
5. 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.
6. 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.
3
8. Do not “cast” the bucket as control of the positioning may be lost and cables may
jump the scores of the crane drum.
9. Never let anyone get between the jaws of the bucket - even if the bucket is lying
open on the ground.
10. Never let any personnel ride in the bucket. The bucket is not designed to be an
elevator.
11. 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.
12. Repair the bucket when damaged. Do not operate with loose corner arms, hinges,
teeth, etc.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL
MANUAL CONTROL
Use 25 feet (7.62m) of 3/8” (10mm) rope. Secure the rope to the rope attachment on the manual control
valve, located on the manifold. 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.
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 bucket is suspended and fully loaded, the
shims will not need to be adjusted. A large gap could cause a sudden shock to the crane 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.

BLEEDING & OIL FILL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure all valves, fittings and hoses are tightly secured.
2. Place the bucket in the fully open position with the cylinder fully extended.
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.
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.
4. Using the crane hoist, lower the cylinder to the fully retracted position.
With the transmitter button NOT PRESSED, hoist the crane cable slowly to try and raise the cylinder.
If the cylinder rod extends more than 3/8” (9.5 mm) before the bucket starts to close, STOP!!
On the top of the cylinder end cap there is a bleeder valve much like the bleeder on automobiles brake system.
Slowly hoist the crane cables until the cylinder reaches a locked position.
Repeat this step until the cylinder locks in the desired position.
Note: Never retract the cylinder with bleeder valve open as this will let air back into the system)

5. Repeat step 3.
6. Finished.
NOTES:
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. It is 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)

FIELD REPAIR WELDING SPECIFICATIONS
514 T-1 STEEL
Cleaning: Remove any rust, scale moisture or any foreign material that could negatively affect the weld in
the area to be welded.
Preparation: (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.
Welding: 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 arc 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 are 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 the base metal to warp. Remove the weld slag on any interpass welds before
applying additional weld metal.
After Welding: If the ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C), allow the weld to cool as gradually as 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).
NOTE: 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.
*(E-110) 110-18 is appropriate but 7018 (E-70) is more forgiving and less prone to cracking
13
SINGLE LINE MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION REPORT
1- Grease more often in dusty conditions, when handling abrasive materials, when handling hot materials, when
submerging in hot liquid or steam. Anvil Attachments recommends the use of SYN-BLEND RED No-Melt Multi-
Purpose Grease.
2-Check after greasing and inspect also for evidence of fresh grease to be sure parts are receiving grease.
3-A complete clamshell inspection should be performed after any incident pertaining to other than normal operation
(dropped or slammed unit).
4-Be sure to grease every 6 months when storing for long periods of time.

SYN-BLEND RED
Superior Quality
No-melt Multi-purpose Grease
L-7925
SYN-BLEND RED is a unique formulation of superior-quality lubricants designed for heavy duty and extreme applications.
For best results, apply SYN-BLEND RED with conventional equipment until all old lubricants are displaced. A better method
is to disassemble and manually remove the old grease prior to re-lubricating with SYN-BLEND RED. Neglecting to remove
or replace conventional grease and replacing with SYN-BLEND RED or equivalent will result in equipment failures.
SYN-BLEND RED is a bentonite-based grease possessing anti-wear properties over a wide range of temperatures, in both
extreme heat and extreme cold. SYN-BLEND RED is formulated with cohesive and adhesive properties that cling to metal
surfaces to withstand seizing, wash-out, pounding-out, excessive wear, and extreme loads. This product provides superior
lubrication for bearings and other moving parts in applications from trucks and autos, to industrial equipment, agricultural,
commercial, marine, construction, and mining applications. SYN-BLEND RED may be used for most lubrication needs. Its
unique formulation lasts longer, provides superior lubrication, and extends equipment life.
