OPERATION (Not ‘HL’ Model) 11
Never
commence work until the daily service checks have been
carried out.
Only
tip or discharge the skip on level ground.
The hydraulic system control valve and operating lever is mounted
on top of the hydraulic tank on the left-hand side of the machine.
The operating lever has three positions, forwards for ‘Dump’ or
‘Tip’, centre for ‘Neutral’ or ‘Hold’ and rearwards for ‘Return’.
The hydraulics will not operate until the engine is running, although
it is possible to lower a raised skip without engine power by moving
the hydraulic control lever to the ‘Dump’ position. For this reason do
not leave the machine unattended with the skip raised. Refer to the
Honda HP500H Operators Handbook for instructions on starting the
engine.
With the engine running and the engine speed set to fast idle push
the lever forwards as indicated on the ‘Dump/Return’ Decal located
top of the fuel tank. The rate of oil delivered to the skip tipping ram
and therefore the speed at which the skip tips is proportional both to
the distance the lever is moved and the speed at which the engine is
set.
Holding the lever forwards until the skip reaches the maximum travel
of the ram will cause the relief valve located in the control valve to
‘blow off’ allowing the oil to return to tank. Do not hold the lever
forward when the ‘relief valve’ blows, this will cause the hydraulic oil
temperature to increase and may cause damage to components.
Once the ram reaches the end of its travel release the lever to the
neutral or hold position.
Releasing the operating lever will allow it to automatically return to
neutral position and movement of the skip will stop, even if the ram
has not reached the full extent of its travel, or the skip is not seated
on the stops. In this way once you are used to the controls, the
speed at which the skip will tip can be finely controlled.
Once the skip is empty pull the lever to the rear and allow the skip to
return down on to the skip stops. Do
NOT
allow the skip to return
onto the stops with any force, control the speed of its return using
