- TRACTOR SELECTION
- ATTACHMENT TO TRACTOR
- 1. Unbolt the upper halves of the yoke and fit them on either side of the tractor’s top hitch bracket with the 3/ 4” UNF nut and bolt provided. If the tractor has only one top hitch position the bolt will replace the existing top hitch pin. If mo...
- 2. Do not tighten the nut at this stage.
- 3. Attach the machine to the three-point linkage and raise to give 200-250 MM (8”-10”) clearance under the lowest part of the frame.
- 4. Rebolt the yoke halves together. It may be necessary to raise or lower the machine on the linkage to achieve hole alignment. Adjust the top link until the main frame is vertical.
- 5. Tighten the nut and bolt securing the upper yoke just enough to eliminate any sideways movement. Do not overtighten and squeeze the top hitch brackets.
- 6. Tighten the check chains/stabilizer bars.
- 7. Release its holding chain and position the control valve to suit the tractor and operator. This is achieved by a combination of height adjustments in the mounting bar attachment and by bending the mounting bar itself.
- 8. Turn the parking leg upside down and pin in position.
- COUPLING UP HYDRAULICS
- REMOVAL FROM THE TRACTOR
- 1. Select a firm level site.
- 2. Replace the stand leg to the park position with foot down.
- 3. Position the arms so that the motor is level with the bottom of the frame.
- 4. Raise tractor linkage to take the weight off the yoke. Where a common top link and yoke position is used, the yoke must be unbolted in the middle. If different top link locations are used, the yoke may be unbolted at the top.
- 5. Lower the machine to the ground and disconnect the three point linkage. Remove top halves of the yoke if still attached to the tractor.
- 6. Use chain to tie the hydraulic control valve back to the main arm. This will make it easier for subsequent coupling up.
- 7. Blank off hose ends or loop the hoses and join with coupling is available.

- HYDRAULIC RAMS
- Ram Seal Replacement- General Information
- 1. Whenever possible the ram should be removed from the machine and cleaned off before dismantling on a clean work bench.
- 2. When using a bench vice, do not apply excessive pressure to the ram cylinder-use soft metal jaws grasping the ram rod.
- 3. Remove scores and nicks on the ram rod by using a fine oil stone. Do not use a file or emery cloth.
- To Change Seals on Angle, Reach and 40 MM Dia Lift Ram
- 1. Unscrew the gland and withdraw to complete rod assembly. Remove piston locking nut, slide the piston and gland housing off the rod.
- 2. Lubricate all new seals prior to assembly.
- 3. Replace the gland seals ensuring they are positioned in the same location from which they were removed. Carefully place the gland housing complete with seals back on the rod.
- 4. Separate the piston halves and discard rod seals. Rebuild the piston onto the rod fitting a new piston rod “O” ring.
- 5. The piston seals can be replaced in conjunction with the above operation or alternatively, gently prised into position after the piston and locking nut are reassembled.
- 6. Refit the piston locking nut using “Permabond A113” or a similar medium strength thread locking compound.
- 7. Reassemble the completer rod into the ram cylinder. Screw in gland housing and tighten.
- To Change Seals on 50 MM Dia Lift Ram
- 1. Unscrew the gland and withdraw the complete rod assembly. Slacken piston grub screw, unscrew the piston and slide off the gland housing.
- 2. Gland Seals - Replace as necessary. Ensure seals are replaced in the position from which they were removed.
- 3. Piston Seal - Remove split members of the piston and seal and then, using a soft lever which will not scratch the piston lift the remaining seal components from the piston. Replace with the new seals in reverse order.
- 4. Refit gland housing on the rod. Be careful when easing the wiper seal over the piston rod shoulder.
- 5. The piston is locked onto the rod with a medium strength thread locking fluid such as “Permabond A113”, “Loctite Nutloc 242”, “Dunlop Nutloc SAS110”, “Tru lock Nutgrade 375” or “Hermetite Torqueseal M”.
- 6. The threads must be cleaned with a suitable solvent to remove oil thoroughly dried before applying a complete film of the locking fluid to the rod threads. The piston should be screwed on, tightened firmly and left for 30 minutes before filling wi...

- 3. Pull the spool through the block from the handle end, until the “O” ring marked “A” is accessible. Remove the “O” ring from its groove using a smooth edged hook.
- 4. Completely remove the spool from the block out of the return spring end.
- 5. Remove the “O” ring marked “B” and refit the new “O” ring groove “A”.
