HYDRAULIC QUICK CHANGE ADAPTER (SWH) SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The operator must make sure every time any tool is changed that the locking pins of the quick change coupler are inserted into the bore holes provided on the tool and that the tool is attached properly. Make a direct visual check that the tool is fitted securely. In addition, the operator must perform a cycle with the tool where the tool may only be raised far enough that the secure fitting, e.g. if the pins are in the pin holes, can be checked by tilting the tool in and out. Check fitting of locking pins visually on a daily basis. Check for proper function of warning devices visually and acoustically by actuating the SWH coupler. If a buzzer sounds or a warning symbol lights up and no locking or unlocking procedure was initiated, shut down operation immediately. This may be due to the locking pins changing their fitting position unchecked, e.g. because of leakage. If buzzer/warning light are not actuated during any procedure, shut down operation immediately. This may be due to breaks in the cable, a defective plug connection or a defective proximity switch. Operation may only be reinitiated after defective parts have been repaired or replaced. The load capacity of the hydraulic quick change coupler (SWH) and/or the integrated load hook can be less than or greater than the load capacity of the basic machine. During operation, make sure that the values found on the load capacity chart and in the Technical Data of the basic machine are maintained when checking the authorized load capacity of the SWH and/or the integrated load hook.
