Section 5 - Maintaining the Rockpicker
Shut down the tractor and remove
the key before repairing, servicing,
lubricating or cleaning the
machine.
Relieve all hydraulic pressure in
the hoses. Disconnect the
hydraulic hoses from the tractor
before going near the machine.
Rock Bucket
Do not work under a loaded
bucket. Empty the bucket before
doing maintenance under the
bucket.
When the bucket is raised, place
the bucket locks onto the lift
cylinder rods.
Do not disconnect the hitch when
the bucket is lifted. There is an
upending hazard at the hitch when
the bucket is lifted.
Installing the Bucket Lift Locks:
1. Unload the bucket of all rocks.
2. Remove the bucket lift locks (1) which are
stored on each side of the machine near
the wheels.
- These locks fit onto the bucket lift
cylinder rods to prevent the bucket
from falling when raised to perform
maintenance.
3. Raise the bucket so the locks will fit onto
the cylinder rods.
