Original Operating Manual
Replace the plug screw (6) in the gear box with the vent screw supplied.
Ensure that no oil leaks out of the gear transmission.
Hoist the attachment at the positions indicated (1).
Demount the lower hooks (2).
Mount the attachment on the fork carriage of the lift truck (3).
Check that the attachment is correctly seated in the centre lock (4).
Mount the lower hooks (2), tightening the screws (5) with a torque of 190 Nm.
Use pipes or hoses to connect the hydraulic ports (7) to the hydraulic ports of the lift
truck.
Trucks equipped with attachments which hold the load by power (e.g. paper clamp)
shall feature control(s) with a secondary action to prevent unintentional release of the
load. Also take note in this respect of the operating instruction of the lift truck.
Before initial operation, check the functions and the identification of the attachment
with the movement directions of the operating elements (operating lever, joystick,
etc.).
Mount the residual carrying capacity notice and identification of the operating
elements (if not already present) of the combination of lift truck/attached equipment
on the lift truck.
KAUP-attachments are delivered pre-lubricated. If the attachment has been in storage
for a longer period, we recommend that it be lubricated again before being placed in
service. See 6. Maintenance and onwards.
Failure of the safety devices (e.g. the pressure relief valve and the non-return
valve) and incorrect connection of the controls to the actuators can cause
malfunctioning of the attachment and damage to it.
After mounting and before initial operation, check the functions and the
identification of the attached equipment with the movement directions of the
operating elements (operating lever, joystick, etc.).
4.2 Checking out
Operating Manual
Original Operating Manual
11
Start the lift truck.
Move the sideshifter repeatedly in both directions to maximum extent.
Rotate the rotator left and right several times.
Repeatedly cycle the clamp / fork positioner from the fully open to the fully closed
position.
Inspect the hydraulic connections for leakage.
The hydraulic system is under pressure. During work on hydraulic components
oil spurting out can cause injuries. Unload the system in accordance with the
operating instructions of the lift truck manufacturer. In the case of injuries
caused by high pressure oil, inform the works physician and seek out a
specialist immediately.
Synchronising the arms
The synchronization of arms is adjusted ex-factory. This can alter for different friction
conditions (wear), temperatures and volumes conveyed. Perform a readjustment. The
recommended working temperature of the hydraulic fluid is approx. 35 °C.
Setting the clamping pressure with a pressure limiting valve
Attachments are adjusted ex-factory to a pressure of 160 bar.
4.2.1 Bleeding the hydraulic system
4.2.2 Adjustment after putting into service
The synchronization is adjustable by means of two throttles on the bottom of the cylinders.
Operating Manual
12
Original Operating Manual
A change in pressure is necessary only, if the load
slips or
is damaged.
The pressure indication on the manometer gauge drops after clamping.
This is not a malfunction of the attachment, being caused by the installation of a
transmission
At least once per working shift, the machine and equipment must be
inspected for visible damage and defects.
Repeat faults to your superior and have them rectified without delay.
Be aware of persons present in the area where you are working or driving
and ensure that they are not endangered.
Do not transport any load exceeding that specified on the residual load
plate for the particular combination of lift truck and attachment.
Note the load-bearing capacity of the attachment as stated on the rating
plate. This figure always represents the load carried by two or more fork
arms.
The nominal capacity of the forks must exceed the load.
Ensure that fork arms and arms that clamp a load are closer together at the
tips than at the back. As a result you need a larger clearance for moving in.
Make the settings in the numerical sequence and in the direction of the arrows.
5. Operation
(related to the bolted on fork arms. With other arm designs, these operating instructions must be
extended with instructions from the operator.)
5.1 General
Operating Manual
Original Operating Manual
13
Set the forks as wide apart as possible for the load to be carried.
Position the mast vertically and take up the load parallel to the floor.
Always transport pallets, boxes and containers using both forks.
Drive the attachment up to the load to maximum extent.
Raise the load about 300 mm and tilt the mast backwards.
Centre the load to the middle of the lift truck during take-up and transport.
Ensure that pallets, boxes, containers and packaging are in good condition.
Do not drive with the mast tilted forward.
Take care when driving that neither the attachment nor the load comes into contact
with the ground.
Ensure that multiple items stacked on top of one another are securely fastened.
Rotation can cause damage to the load and the attachment.
Ensure sufficient distance of the load to the floor, the ceiling, to shelves, etc.
If higher torque than specified is generated by the load, the rotation device
rotates uncontrolled or not at all.
This can lead to damage to the load and the attachment.
Note the torque given on the type plate of the attachment.
The torque given on the type plate refers to the pressure difference of 125 bar at the
hydraulic motor.
Only rotate loads parallel to the floor (set lifting frame vertically).
Do not rotate loads if there are people in the working area.
Rotate raised loads slowly.
Fast rotating can influence the stability of the lift truck.
5.2 Load handling
5.3 Driving
5.4 Rotate
Operating Manual
14
Original Operating Manual
Ensure that carrying equipment, e.g pallets, crates, containers are not tipped off
during rotating.
Ensure that maintenance and servicing are performed by qualified and authorised
personnel only.
Lubrication and cleaning work on the attachment may also be performed by the lift truck
operator.
Perform maintenance and servicing work only when the attachment is parked securely
on a stable, level foundation. For installing and removing, it is recommended to use a
pallet to take the attachment. The attachment can thus be securely placed and
transported.
Pay attention to a sufficient load-carrying capacity of the lifting means.
Replace missing or defective warning signs on the attachment.
Do not use third party spare parts. Through poor quality or incorrect matching
they can result in a risk of accident. The EC Declaration of Conformity by the
manufacturer becomes invalid and you assume full responsibility in the case of
accident.
Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer.
The hydraulic system is under pressure. During work on hydraulic components
oil spurting out can cause injuries. Unload the system in accordance with the
operating instructions of the lift truck manufacturer. In the case of injuries caused
by high pressure oil, inform the works physician and seek out a specialist
immediately.
Screw connections can loosen due to vibration of the attachment. During routine
maintenance check that screw connections are correctly torqued and replace
screws which are visibly damaged.
