Removal
Park the machine on firm level ground and stop the engine.
Chock all four wheels to prevent accidental machine
movement.
Label the auxiliary hydraulic hoses (if fitted) and
disconnect them from the metal pipework on top of the
carriage. Plug the ends of the hoses then pull them back
through the boom.
Remove nuts 1 and bolts 2 from tilt ram and quickhitch
pivot pins. Drive out the pivots 3 and remove the quickhitch
assembly 4.
!MWARNING
It is not possible to vent all residual pressure. Loosen
the connection one full turn and allow the pressure to
dissipate. Keep face and hands well clear of
pressurised hydraulic oil and wear protective glasses.
HYD-4-3
Disconnect hydraulic hoses from tilt ram 8. Remove nut 5,
bolt 6 and collar 7. Lift the tilt ram away from the machine.
Take care not to lose spacer 9 if fitted. Plug the ends of the
hoses then pull them back through the boom.
Support the rod end of lift ram 13 then remove nut 10 and
bolt 11 and drift out pivot pin 12. Lower the lift ram onto the
mainframe.
On High-flow machines, label the three hoses where they
connect to the metal pipework at the boom pivot area then
disconnect the hoses from the pipework.
Note: It may be preferable to do this after the boom pivot
has been removed and the boom lifted slightly.
