6 Maintenance
IMPORTANT
When using hydraulic tools such as pallet forks or grading
beams, more grease is required.
6.4.1. Tiltrotator lubrication
IMPORTANT
The quantities of grease specified refer to the MIN quantity to be
added.
6.4.1.1. Manual lubrication
MIN quantity of grease:
EC204: 10g | EC206: 10g | EC209: 15g | EC214: 20g | EC219: 20g | EC226: 20g | EC233:
35g
Grease the tiltrotator by removing the protective cap from the grease nipple and
connecting a grease gun. Grease the tiltrotator until grease forces its way out at all axles
and bearings. Wipe the grease nipple and nozzle thoroughly clean before attaching the
grease gun.
Figure 25.
6.4.1.2. Automatic lubrication
The distribution block on the tiltrotator is of progressive type and distributes the grease
to all connected grease points automatically. The distributor delivers the grease to the
grease points one by one. This makes sure no grease point goes without. The system can
be connected to the base machine’s automatic lubrication system.
Replace the grease nipple on the distribution block with a suitable hose connection
(the thread in the distributor is M10x1) and connect the hose from the base machine’s
lubrication system. To deliver grease to the tiltrotator, always check that the valve supplied
and the pump's operating settings provide the correct volume and that system pressure is
sufficiently high (max 300 Bar).
