►Installation of the Scorpion Engine Puller on a wheel loader requires interfacing
with electrical power system and high pressure hydraulic systems. Installation
should be performed by qualified individuals. Failure to follow these instructions
and precautions noted in the wheel loader manufacturer’s service manual can result
in serious damage to equipment and/or result in injury or death.
►Failure of hydraulic system can result in serious injury and property damage
►Use caution while testing operation of this unit. Be aware of:
-Pinch Points, -High Pressure hydraulic fluids or stored energy
-Location of other individuals in the work area
Installation of purchased attachment may void machine manufacturer warranty, if any.
Step 1. RELAYS: Find a location to mount relay module [B].
The location should be accessible enough to get into the
box and wires, but out of the way so it will not get damaged. Mount box where it will not be exposed to the
weather.
Needs to be within 5’ of power supply
Step 2. JOYSTICK: Install joystick[C] to third function lever in cab
Remove current knob. Screw on new joystick with
supplied adapter in the bottom of the joystick.
Standard bushing 10mm x 1.25. Drill and tap bushing as
needed if your thread requirements differ.
Route wires to control box, avoid rubbing points.
Connect to proper connection on side of control box.
Step 3. POWER CABLE: Locate 15 amp fused lead and connect a 24V power supply
which energizes with ignition key and a good ground connection for cable [A].
Route cable [A] and connect to control box [B].
Step 4. ATTACH SCORPION™ TO WHEEL LOADER
Quick coupler attachments: Be sure lower locking pins fully extend to lock in
coupler & Scorpion™. This may require you to slightly lift or tilt the coupler to
lock in. We recommend operator actually inspect each pin to be sure they
are fully locked in.
Direct pin mounting: Remove existing pin attachment, align arms to Scorpion™
insert and fasten pins in place. Apply ample grease to all pins.
Quick coupler locking pins are integral to the attachment of this unit to
wheel loader vehicle. Verify the pins are locked in fully prior to lifting
unit or using the Scorpion. Failing to verify proper securement may
cause the Scorpion Engine Puller falling off the loader resulting in
property damage, injury or death.
S.A.S. of Luxemburg,Ltd. 133 Center Drive Hwy 54, PO Box 260, Luxemburg, WI 54217 USA
Step 5. CONTROL CABLE: Determine a suitable location for the bulkhead connection
end on cable [D] on the forward area of the left loader arm. Pick a location
that cable [E] can reach and provides enough flex as the loader arms are lifted or tilted. This is typically 2’ from the lower pivot point. Mount the bulkhead
securely on the loader arms.
Run control cable [D] up loader arm, along hydraulic lines,
following lines into frame
& across frame
articulation point, to cab
of loader. Leave enough
slack in the cable keeping
in mind articulation of
loader & lift of main arms so there is no tension on the control cable in all positions.
Find a suitable location to bring the control cable into the cab.
Enter through a existing grommet or drill a hole large enough to fit the end of
the wire through.
Protect the cable from rubbing on the edge of the hole, either install a rubber
grommet or center the cable in the hole and fill around with silicone. Damage to
wires can result in equipment failure leading to injury or property damage.
Step 6. IDENTIFY PRESSURE SIDE LINE ON LOADER by pulling joystick lever back brief-
ly, you will see one of the lines move, or have someone hold the line to feel the
pressure build. Label this line “Boom Lift Pressure”.
Step 7. HYDRAULIC LINES: Determine adequate length of lines needed from existing
third function connections on loader arms to bulkhead lines on Scorpion™.
To decide length of line; Raise unit, tilt unit full down; then measure distance re-
quired from bulkhead on Scorpion to loader connection. Make a loop in line
to have sufficient length in hose to avoid creating tension in all positions.
Use a 4,000 PSI min hose to fit hydraulic quick coupler fittings on machine and
¾” (#12) male JIC fittings on the Scorpion™.
Attach the line (labeled “Boom Lift Pressure”) which is pressurized when the
joystick is pulled back to the bulk-head fitting on the Scorpion
that is farthest from the loader. Clearly mark lines as desired
or use opposite quick coupler set up to ensure proper re-
PROPER ALIGNMENT OF HOSE TO ENSURE STRAIGHT FITTING WILL PROMOTE LONG LIFE:

Step 9. INITIAL TEST FOR INTERFERENCE during lifting, tilting, or dumping movements
►Watch for pinch points. Stay clear of moving parts while equipment is
in operation. Moving parts can cause serious injury or death
►Watch for leaking hydraulic fittings, fix any leaks and clean up spills if
they occur. Hydraulic fluid can cause eye irritation and slippery conditions which can result in injury.
►Watch for unexpected movements or erratic operation, stop test if
unexpected movement occurs. Stored energy can cause unexpected
movements that can result in serious injury or death.
►Verify all individuals are clear before performing test.
Check for undesirable contact between loader lift arms and Scorpion
framework. Watch for any loader arm, hoses, or cable pinch points.
Begin testing by moving control levers slowly:
A. With carriage on the ground, fully roll back (fork tips up)
B. With carriage lifted high, fully rotate to the dump position (for
tips down)
Pin attach units may require addition of mechanical stops.
If you experience interference you may need to install special roll back or dump stops.
Contact SAS Forks™ if you experience interference issues to discuss stop options.
Step 10. Check proper sequence. Engage button or trigger before moving joystick.

A. When tipping the forks up (roll back), tips down (dump), it is best to avoid unneces-
sarily bottoming out the stops to avoid possible damage to the stops, lift arms, or
hydraulic cylinders. Always slow the movements when nearing a stop, including
when raising the Scorpion™ “Boom” to fully raised position.
B. Approach the vehicle;
1. Front wheel drive vehicles: Approach from the side of the timing belt, opposite
the transmission, typically passenger side.
2. Rear wheel drive vehicles: Approach directly from the front.
C. Position and set the forks down...
1. Front wheel drive: Place fork on top of fire wall (cowl) and other fork over the
radiator support, positioning the forks to allow you best visibility of the “Claws”.
2. Rear wheel drive: Place forks on top of both fenders, positioning forks to allow
you best visibility of the “Claws”.
D. Squeeze the trigger and reposition the “Claws” so they will clear the middle of the
forks as they are lowered into the engine compartment.
E. Press the right button, move the joystick forward and move the “Tilt” about 1/2 way
out. Reposition joystick to neutral and release the button.
F. Press the left button, move the joystick forward and lower the “Boom” down, posi-
tioning the “Claws” low on the engine block, on the end of the engine block farthest
away from the transmission. Don’t go too low that the “Claws” grab the frame.
G. Squeeze trigger, move joystick backwards, causing “Claws” to grab engine block.
H. While continuing to hold the trigger and the joystick back, press the left button to
cause the “Boom” to lift the engine out. This should break the passenger side
mounts, then the center mounts, pulling the engine up, and begin to lift the trans-
mission clear of the frame member. When lifted to maximum height, continue to
hold the joystick back and holding the trigger. Only release the button. (Watch the
front of the car, if the entire car is pulling up, you have caught the frame with the
“Claws”, reposition the “Claws” and try again.
I. Continuing to hold trigger & joystick back, now also press the right button to lift the
“Tilt”. This will provide additional lift height to clear the transmission out vehicle.
J. Transport the engine in the “Claws” to the desired location to deposit the engine
and transmission, then press the left button and move the joystick forward to lower
the “Boom”. Then squeeze the trigger and move the joystick forward to open the
“Claws” and release the engine and transmission. Be cautious not to open the
“Claws” to far that they hit the forks.

1 2 3 4
Failure to follow proper instructions or using Scorpion for any other purpose will void warranty.
IMPROPER USE WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND POTENTIAL CRACKING OF THE SCORPION
To prevent damage or potential personal injury avoid the following actions:
An example of improper use:
1. Lowering the boom, extending tilt fully forward & opening claws before approaching car.
2. Dropping the Scorpion down onto the car with the claws below the fork blades.
3. Clamping on engine & extracting without the blades securely holding down the car down.
4. Having the blades come in contact with car before engine in disengaged.
These operations will cause stress & cracking of the tilt assembly resulting in equipment damage.
Hydraulic system may have unexpected pressure.
Always train operators on proper procedures. Set forks on the ground, depressurize
hydraulic system, wear safety glasses, gloves and other personal protective equipment required by your workplace before attempting to disconnect hydraulic hoses.
Practice lockout/tagout procedures to prevent operation of equipment while servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage.
DISCONNECTING:

PROBLEM The Scorpion parts move backwards—or opposite of the direction
indicated in the manual.
Hydraulic system may have stored energy. Electrical system is hazardous. Be certain
to follow all safety procedures and guidelines while trouble shooting.
Only qualified heavy equipment technicians should service this equipment.
Malfunctions of equipment can result in un-expected movements resulting from
stored energy releases. Failure to follow safe procedures or practices can result in
property damage, injury or death.
STEP 1 The main hydraulic lines routed from the wheel loader to the Scorpion are
hooked up backwards to the Scorpion. Switch the two hoses where they connect to
the Scorpion. Retest. Did that correct the problem?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step:
STEP 2 Check to be sure harness A, which provides the ground and power to the control box is hooked up properly. The wire with the fuse link should be positive power.
The wire without the fuse should be ground. If the wires are not hooked up properly,
then remove and hook up properly. Retest movement. Does the Scorpion work
properly now?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step:
STEP 3 Contact a local wheel loader or hydraulics service technician or contact SAS
with your Scorpion serial # for technical support.
S.A.S. of Luxemburg,Ltd. 133 Center Drive Hwy 54, PO Box 260, Luxemburg, WI 54217 USA
PROBLEM The Scorpion doesn’t seem to have the power to pull engines out. The
claws hold tight on the engine, but won’t lift it out.
STEP 1 Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank of the loader. Does the tank indicator show the fluid at the proper level?
No - Add needed fluid and retest.
Yes - Go-to next step:
STEP 2 Typically, immediately after installing the Scorpion, there may be air in the
lines, which will reduce the effectiveness of the moving parts. Cycle the boom, tilt, and
claws through the motions, completely from one position, to the other, several times.
Then re-test at pulling an engine out. Did this resolve the issue?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step:
STEP 3 When grabbing the engine with the claws, try repositioning the claws on the far
end of the engine, away from the transmission; typically on the block, near the timing
chain. This will allow the Scorpion to lift one side of the engine.

breaking the side motor mounts, then gradually, breaking the center, and then opposite side motor mounts. Additionally, this method is the best method to successfully
have the transmission come out with the engine at the same time, due to it will lift the
engine side up and allow the transmission to pivot clear of the frame rail.
Did this method work better?
Yes—End.
No - Go-to next step.
STEP 4 Either inspect the tips of the claws or observe the front of the car to determine
if you have the claws pushed too deeply into the engine compartment that you have
hold of the frame or engine cross-member. This will result in the enter front of the car
begin to bend, and try to be pulled up between the forks. Open the claws, and
reposition, a bit less deep into the engine compartment to avoid grabbing the frame or
cross-member. Did this work better?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step.
STEP 5 Contact a professional wheel loader service technician to see if your PSI on the
auxiliary spool can be increased, but no greater than 4,000 PSI.
If that doesn’t work, contact SAS with your Scorpion serial # for technical support.
S.A.S. of Luxemburg,Ltd. 133 Center Drive Hwy 54, PO Box 260, Luxemburg, WI 54217 USA
PROBLEM The Scorpion claws won’t hold onto the engine. The claws keep slipping off
the engine.
STEP 1 Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank of the loader. Does the tank indicator show the fluid at the proper level?
No - Add needed fluid and retest.
Yes - Go-to next step:
STEP 2 Typically, immediately after installing the Scorpion, there may be air in the
lines, which will reduce the effectiveness of the moving parts. Cycle the boom, tilt, and
claws through the motions, completely from one position, to the other, several times.
Then re-test at pulling an engine out. Did this resolve the issue?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step:
STEP 3 Squeeze and hold the trigger, while the auxiliary function lever is pulled back.
Continuously hold the trigger, while also selecting the boom lift button, then alternating to the tilt lift button, after the boom has reached it’s full lift.
Did this technique resolve the issue?
Yes—End.
No—Go-to next step.
STEP 4 Contact a local wheel loader or hydraulics service technician or contact SAS
with your Scorpion serial # for advice on the telephone.
PROBLEM The transmissions seem to break off often when pulling engines.
STEP 1 See #3.3 for resolution.
PROBLEM The hydraulic line connections for the auxiliary function on the loader arms
pop off.
STEP 1 Typically this is a result of not engaging the line quick couplers fully. Check
for dirt in the fittings that may not allow the fitting to fully engage.
Yes—End.
No—Go-to next step.
STEP 2 The fitting coupler may have an outside collar that may need to be rotated to
lock in place. Check the fitting, and rotate as needed to lock in.
Yes—End.
No—Go-to next step.
STEP 3 Contact a local wheel loader or hydraulics service technician or contact SAS
with your Scorpion serial # for technical support.
S.A.S. of Luxemburg,Ltd. 133 Center Drive Hwy 54, PO Box 260, Luxemburg, WI 54217 USA
PROBLEM The tilt, boom, or claws seem to move by themselves.
STEP 1 Are you selecting one of the buttons or trigger on the joystick before moving
joystick?
No - Only move the joystick forward or back after you have selected one of the buttons
or engaged the trigger. If you move the joystick without selecting one of these, you
are sending the full pressure of hydraulic fluid into a closed valve control body, which
will dead head the fluid and may cause some bleed by the solenoids.
Yes - Go-to next step:
STEP 2 Identify specifically which item is moving when that unit is not engaged. Do
you have one function that is moving by itself consistently?
Yes - Replace the appropriate pair of solenoids cartridge valves in the valve block
which control this specific function.
No - If this only happens very rarely, you may have dirt in your hydraulic system which
is interfering with the solenoid valve closing and sealing properly. Be sure prior to connecting hydraulic fittings, that both ends are clean.
If problems persist; go-to next step:
STEP 3 Contact a local wheel loader or hydraulics service technician or contact SAS
with your Scorpion serial # for technical support.
PROBLEM The claws on the Scorpion™ get misaligned or off-set to one side.
STEP 1 This is common due to the shared hydraulic lines between the two cylinders.
This design is necessary to allow both claws to fully move into the engine compartment
to secure against engine. To correct, be sure the claws are clear from the forks, then
engage the claw function by squeezing the trigger, and pushing the joystick forward.
This is cause the claws to spread apart. Keep engaged until claws move fully to open
extended dead end. Did this get both claws even?
Yes - End.
No - Go-to next step.
STEP 2 Run claws from fully open to fully closed. Fully pressurize when in each direction to force claws to even out. Did this correctly even out claws?
Yes - End.
No—Go-to next step.
STEP 3 Check for interference by claws, such as broken auto parts, rocks, or other debris. Remove debris carefully with a pry bar. Do not place hands near any moving
parts. Residual pressure may cause claws to move unexpectedly.
Yes - End.
No—Go-to next step.
STEP 4 Contact a local wheel loader or hydraulics service technician or contact SAS
with your Scorpion serial # for technical support.
S.A.S. of Luxemburg,Ltd. 133 Center Drive Hwy 54, PO Box 260, Luxemburg, WI 54217 USA
