ROCKHOUND CHAIN
Removal and Installation
NOTE: The chain removal procedure was done
using an over head hoist and the Rockhound
positioned upside down.
Remove the shield from the drive motor. (See Page 20.)
Remove the drive motor chain. (See Page 20.)
Remove the hydraulic hoses from the motor. (See Page
21.)
Remove the cylinder. (See Page 18.)
Remove the hinges. (See Page 25.)
Install chains (Item 1) [A] in the slots of the frame, and use
a hoist to separate the Rockhound frame from the bucket.
By repositioning the chains in the slots (Item 1) [B] toward
the front of the Rockhound frame, a hoist can be used to
stand the Rockhound frame on its back edge as shown.
Continue to pull the Rockhound frame into the upside
down position. The Rockhound frame will be stable in this
position for chain removal.
Position the master links to the top. Release the tension
fully from the Rockhound chain.
Wrapachain(Item1)[C] around three (3) bars (with the
master links enclosed). Using a hoist to lift the chain will
squeeze the bars together.
NOTE: Using the hoist to lift the chain will release
the master link tension and allow removal.
Install a safety chain (Item 2) [C] to prevent the bars from
separating while repositioning the hoist chain.
Lower the hoist chain until the safety chain is holding the
Rockhound chain in a secure position.
NOTE: The hoist chain will need to be repositioned
for Rockhound chain removal.
Do not attempt to separate the rake chain
master links by standing under or reaching
under the attachment. The Rockhound chain
can suddenly separate and shift when the chain
master links are removed. Use a chain or other
restraining device to hold the rake bars
together before removing the master links.
