You must not lift the entire assembly by using these threaded holes. For handling
the parts, see product workshop documentation for suitable lifting methods and
lifting adapters.

LIFTING EYE SCREWS

If lifting eye screws are used, lifting eye screws must be completely tightened. The
lifting eye can be loaded only if the screw is properly tightened to the frame.

Failure to properly tighten the screw before allowing load pressure on the
lifting eye may cause lifting eye to break and free fall of the product.
If you use mechanical tools for tightening, make sure not to overstrain the shank.
Before lifting, make sure that the rope and/or hook is stretched.
When two lifting points are used, the lifting capacity depends on the angle of the
lifting chains. The angle should not be less than 45°, as shown in the illustration.
When the lifting eye screws are tightened, both rings should be aligned.
The loading capacity calculation applies to temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F)
and 40 °C (104 °F).
Before reuse of lifting eye screws, make sure there are no surface flaws (for example
pits, voids, folds and seams, deformation of the ring, missing or broken threads,
rust, etc.).
The local, national safety standards for machines and lifting-tackles must always be
strictly observed.
Note: The lifting eye must always be removed from the product and replaced with

damaged or made unsafe by the method of operation or maintenance procedures you
choose.
Safety is not just a matter of responding to the warnings. All the time you are
working with your product you must pay attention to what hazards there might be
and how to avoid them. Do not work with the product until you are sure that you can
control it. Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those around you will
be safe.

Warning! Read the following warning messages carefully. They tell you of
different hazards and how to avoid them. If proper precautions are not taken,
you or others could be seriously injured.

DANGER
DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death
or severe injury.
Always wear approved
respirator.

169410_ENG-1

R010349

Airborne pollutants are microscopic particles, which will damage your health when
inhaled. Aiborne pollutants on construction sites can be for example silica dust, oil
fumes or diesel exhaust particles, visible or invisible. Especially in demolition sites,
there may be other dangerous substances, such as asbestos, lead paints or other
chemical substances.
The effect of airborne pollutants may be immediate if the substance is poisonous.
The main danger with airborne pollutants comes from long term exposure, where
particles are inhaled but not removed from the lungs. The disease is called silicosis,
asbestosis or other, and will result in death or serious injury.
To protect yourself from airborne pollutants, always keep excavator doors and
windows closed during operation. Excavators with pressurized cabins should be
utilized in product operation. Proper maintenance of fresh air filters of the excavator
is essential. Where pressurized cabins are not available, proper respirators must be
utilized.
Stop working when bystanders are in the area of airborne pollutants and make sure
they have proper respirators. Respirators are as important for bystanders as hard
hats.Respirators for both operator and bystanders must be approved by the
respirator manufacturer for the application in question. It is essential that the
respirators protect from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may
cause other serious lung diseases. Do not use the product until you are sure the
respirators are working properly. This means each respirator must be checked to
make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to otherwise make sure
the respirator will protect in the way it is meant to.
Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave
your shift. The smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine
that you cannot see them. Remember, you MUST protect yourself and bystanders
from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
Always follow local laws and regulations for airborne pollutants in the working
environment.

5. OPERATION

5.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

RECOMMENDED USE
The grapple is designed for use in handling and recycling. For more information,
contact your local dealer.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
Principles of installation
Almost all carriers meeting mechanical and hydraulic requirements can be used to
operate products. See “Product specifications” on page 54. The product is installed
on the carrier much in the same manner as installing a bucket or other attachments.
A flange-mounted products requires also a separate mounting bracket.
The products is connected to a carrier's hydraulic circuit with an installation kit. If
the carrier is already fitted with an installation kit, the installation requires only
suitable hoses and fittings. For product installation, secondary relief valves in the
bucket cylinder circuit and the carrier auxiliary circuit are needed. If the carrier does
not have a suitable kit to run attachments, one must be built. This may require a
more complex installation, including new piping and additional valves such as a
flow control valve or pressure relief valve.
Suitable kits can be ordered from the manufacturer or their local dealers, carrier
manufacturers and their dealers, or a third party suppliers.
Hydraulic oil
In general, the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this
product.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature is -20 °C (-4 °F) to 80 °C (176 °F). If you must work in
a temperature lower than -20 °C (-4 °F), the product must be preheated before any
operation can begin. Start the operation with low hydraulic flow.
Note: The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be monitored. Ensure that oil grade
and monitored oil temperature together guarantee correct oil viscosity.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The operation of the product is based on a static force produced by the hydraulic
cylinder of the product. To increase the product's working life, pay particular
attention to correct working methods.

2. CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL

2.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
In general, the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this
product. However, since working with the product heats the oil more than with the
usual excavation work, the temperature of the oil must be monitored.
If the temperature of the hydraulic oil exceeds 80 °C (176 °F), an auxiliary oil cooler
is needed. The oil viscosity must be between 1000-20 cSt while the product is being
used.
When the product is used continuously, the temperature of the hydraulic oil
normalizes at a certain level depending on conditions and on the carrier. The
temperature in the tank must not exceed the maximum allowed.
The product must not be started if the ambient temperature is below freezing and
the oil is very thick. The machine must be moved to bring the oil temperature above
0 °C (32 °F) before working can start (viscosity 1000 cSt or 131 °E).

OIL SPECIFICATIONS
The table below shows hydraulic oils recommended for product use. The most
suitable oil is selected in such a way that the temperature of the hydraulic oil in
continuous use is in the ideal area on the chart and the hydraulic system is used to
best advantage.

Problems due to incorrect hydraulic oil viscosity in the product:

Oil too thick
■ Difficult start up
■ Stiff operation
■ Danger of cavitation
■ Sticky valves
■ Filter bypass opens, impurities in the oil are not removed
Oil too thin
■ Efficiency losses (internal leaks)
■ Damage to gaskets and seals, leaks
■ Accelerated wearing of parts, because of decreased lubrication efficiency
■ Danger of cavitation

RGP20R, RGP23R, RGP28R, RGP33R, RGP38R

Note: We strongly recommend the use of different hydraulic oils in the summer and
in the winter if there is an average temperature difference of more than 35 °C (95
°F). The correct hydraulic oil viscosity is thus ensured.

SPECIAL OILS
In some cases, special oils (for example biological oils and nonflammable oils) can
be used with the product Observe the following aspects when considering the use
of special oils:
■ The viscosity range in the special oil must be in the given range (1000-20 cSt).
■ The lubrication properties must be sufficient.
■ The corrosion resistance properties must be good enough.
Note: Although a special oil could be used in the carrier, always check its suitability
with the product Contact the oil manufacturer or your local dealer for more
information about special oils.

2.2 OIL COOLER

The carrier hydraulic system must be able to maintain a temperature within an
acceptable level during the product operation. This is because:
1. Seals, wipers, membranes and other parts manufactured from the corresponding
materials can normally stand temperatures up to 80 °C (176 °F).
2. The higher the temperature is, the less viscous the oil gets, thus losing its
capability to lubricate.
A standard carrier, with a proper product circuit, meets the requirements of the
necessary cooling capacity. If the oil temperature tends to be too high during
product operation, the following must be checked:
■ The product circuit pressure relief valve should not be opened unnecessarily.
■ The product circuit pressure drops must be reasonable; that is, less than 20 bar
(290 psi) in the hydraulic line.
■ There should be no internal leakages in product or carrier hydraulic pumps,
valves, cylinders, motors, etc.
If all of the above-mentioned items are in order, and the temperature of the hydraulic
oil still tends to be too high, extra cooling capacity is needed. Contact the carrier

2.3 OIL FILTER

The purpose of the oil filter is to remove impurities from the hydraulic oil. Air and
water are also impurities in oil. Not all impurities can be seen with the naked eye.
Impurities enter the hydraulic system:
■ During hydraulic oil changes and refilling.
■ When components are repaired or serviced.
■ When the product is being installed on the carrier.
■ Because of component wear.
Normally the existing, main oil filters of the carrier are used as attachment circuit
return line filters. Contact the carrier manufacturer or your local dealer concerning
instructions for the filter change intervals.
In product work, the carrier oil filter must fulfill the following specifications:
■ The oil filter must allow maximum particle size of 25 microns (0.025 mm).
■ The oil filter material must be man-made fibre cloth or very fine gauge metallic
mesh to withstand pressure fluctuations.
■ The oil filter must have a nominal flow capacity of at least twice the product's
maximum flow.
In general, oil companies guarantee new oils to have a maximum particle size of 40
microns. Therefore, filter the oil when filling the tank.
The damage caused by hydraulic oil impurities in the carrier and attachment circuits
include:
Shortened working life of pumps and other components
■ Rapid wear of parts.
■ Cavitation.
■ Wear of cylinder and gaskets.
Reduced attachment efficiency
■ Accelerated wear of moving parts and seals.
■ Oil leakages.
Shortened working life and reduced lubricating capability of oil
■ Overheated oil.
■ Deteriorated oil quality.
■ Electrochemical changes in hydraulic oil.

Malfunction of valves
■ Binding spools.
■ Rapid wear of parts.
■ Blocking of small holes.
Note: Component damage is only a symptom. The trouble itself will not be cured
by removing the symptom. After any component damage due to impurities in the
oil, the entire hydraulic system must be cleaned. Dismantle, clean and reassemble
the product and change the hydraulic oil.

1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

1.1 OVERVIEW
This product is a precision-made hydraulic machine. Therefore, great care and
cleanliness should be taken when handling any of the hydraulic components. Dirt is
the worst enemy in hydraulic systems.
Handle the parts carefully and remember to cover any cleaned and dried parts with
a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not use anything other than purpose-designed materials
for cleaning hydraulic parts. Never use water, paint thinners or carbon tetrachloride.
Components, gaskets and seals in the hydraulic system should be oiled with clean
hydraulic oil before assembly.
Remember to grease the product parts regularly, according to the instructions in this
manual.
Prior to maintenance or inspection, operate all the control levers to their fully
extended stroke. This will release pressure within the hydraulic piping and prevent
unexpected movement of the jaw and loss of oil through the hydraulic lines.

Close the jaws during maintenance or inspection. If you must leave the jaws
open, remember to block the jaws to prevent them from closing.

1.2 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE BY THE OPERATOR

Note: The times given refer to the carrier hours with the product installed.

EVERY EIGHT HOURS
