Komatsu — 6.3.3 INSTALLING THE 4in1 BUCKET

4in1 BUCKET 6.3.3 INSTALLING THE 4in1 BUCKET 219 DANGER • When the coupling pins are removed or installed, chips may come off; always wear gloves, safety goggles and helmet. • The change of the equipment must be carried out by two operators, who must decide together the words and sig- nals to be used during operations. • Do not use your fingers to center the holes, since they may be injured or even cut. To install the 4in1 bucket it is necessary to engage the mechani- cal constraints of the loader as described in “3.12.3 CHANGING THE STANDARD FRONT BUCKET” and to carry out the hydrau- ic connections using the pipes provided.

CAUTION CAUTION • After coupling the bucket and the loader mechanically, stop the engine, remove the ignition key and move the hy- draulic controls more than once in all directions, in order to release the residual pressure that may be present in the circuits; apply the parking brake. • When connecting the pipes, take care to prevent any im- purities from getting into them. Proceed as follows: 1 - Loosen the protection plugs and remove them from the rigid pipes provided on the machine. 2 - Loosen and remove the protection plugs from the flexible pipes (8) and (9) of the bucket. 3 - Carry out the connections as indicated in the figure.

4 - Start the machine, raise the bucket a few centimeters from the ground and open and fold it completely more than once with the buttons positioned on the control lever to check the efficiency and tightness of the system.     DANGER • Wear thick gloves and safety goggles during this check. • To check the system for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or a wooden board. 5 - Lower the bucket to the ground, stop the machine, lubricate the joints (See “4.5.2 LUBRICATION DIAGRAM”) and check the hydraulic oil level (See “4.7.3.e CHECKING THE HY- DRAULIC CIRCUIT OIL LEVEL”).
