Instruction manual
1 Introduktion
1.1 General
This instruction manual provides relevant
information on installation, handling and
maintenance of the tilt mounting delivered
by engcon. The safety information in this
manual relates directly to the tilt mounting,
and does not regard the base machine.
In addition to this information, you should
carefully read the safety information
regarding the base machine and any other
equipment you will be using.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to install, use or perform
maintenance on the tilt mounting and
its accompanying equipment before
carefully reading all the information
regarding the tilt mounting, supplemen-
tary equipment and base machine.
Observe all safety instructions and
cautions carefully.
1.2 Identification and marking of
tilt mounting
Check that the information in “Certification
of conformity” corresponds to the information
on the tilt mounting (Figure 1), equipment
and documentation. In the event of devia-
tions, contact your supplier before starting
assembly.

1.3 Decals and warning signs
All the machine’s instructions and decals,
for instance warning signs, must be clearly
legible at all times. Contact your supplier to
order new instructions and decals.
1.4 System description and
application areas
Because of its functionality and the
number of implements on the market, the
tilt mounting has unlimited application
areas. However, please note that the tilt
mounting’s weight and the increased reach
may lead to reduced stability, causing risk
of damage and personal injury.
To avoid increased wear and abnormal
strain, engcon recommends that you avoid
using the tilt mounting in combination with
a hydraulic hammer.
Checkyourbasemachinemanufacturer’s
recommendations for calculating tipping
load, and make sure you include the
increased weight and reach caused by the
tilt mounting in these calculations.
