6. Weight Setup
6.1 Changing the UUFWDUU Weight Setup
(IF you have an HWD, please proceed to Paragraph 6.2)
By changing size (mass) of the FWD drop weight, any of 4 loading ranges can be selected
(refer also to 5.2, “Drop Heights Adjustment”).
The FWD drop weight consists of a basic 50 kg (110 lbs) weight, to which may be added
four, eight or twelve detachable 25 kg (55 lbs) weights and two, four or six detachable rubber
buffers with shafts and fixing bolts to constitute a 50, 150, 250 or 350 kg (110, 330, 550 or
770 lbs) weight assembly.
In this way it is possible to maintain the duration of some 25-30 msec. of the load impulse for
any drop height with any of the weight setups.
Refer to 5.2, “Drop Heights Adjustment” for advice on selection of the drop weight mass
(size), once you know which load (range) you wish to use.
To change the weight size, use the following procedure:
1) Switch ON the Compact15 power.
2) Release the transport locks by turning MAN.KEY and pressing shortly the RP button.
3) Unlock the transport locks. (In case of automated locks, this is done by turning
MAN.KEY and pressing the LC button).
4) Turn MAN.KEY and press the LP/RW until the plate has been lowered completely
and the weight has subsequently been raised so much (and ONLY so much) that the
two weight security supports can be turned clockwise to lean against the side of the
weight package.
5) Turn MAN.KEY and press again the LP/RW button until (and ONLY until) the
security supports flip into their locking position.
6) Perhaps settle the weight onto the security supports by activating manually the “A”
valve (the one closest to the hyd. oil filter) using e.g. a small screwdriver. DO NOT
use the LC button for this settling!!
7) SWITCH OFF all power (green LED labelled “12V Bat” ON, all others OFF).
8) Remove the rubber buffers sideways by unscrewing the appropriate spanner bolts
(with tightening handles).
