2 DELIVERY AND HANDLING
The crusher is usually shipped and delivered securely fixed onto a pallet, in a stable
position and appropriately wrapped in cellophane. The type of packaging can vary
according to the chosen means of transport and the destination. All the ordered
material is inspected before delivery to the customer.
CAUTION:
The packaging unloading must be performed with extreme care by means of a lifting
tool of appropriate capacity (e.g., forklift truck or other suitable means).
Then, the assembly must be positioned on a stable, horizontal surface.

Upon receipt, check the machine for any damage (breakages or major
denting) caused during transport. If so, it is necessary to immediately inform
the shipping company and to write on the Delivery note the “Accepted subject
to checking" clause.
In the event of damage, send a written complaint to the forwarder within 8
days of receipt.
Promptly inform Edilgrappa s.r.l. if major damage, caused during transport, is
found upon receipt, or if any parts are missing.
It is also necessary to check the delivered materials against the detailed
shipping list.

9
2.01 HANDLING, TRANSPORT AND LIFTING
The machine handling can be easily performed by gripping the machine itself by its
special grip and handle.
Handlingfor long distances:
Fix the crusher onto a pallet and handle it with the aid of a forklift truck or a pallet
truck in order to load it onto the means of transport (truck, train, etc...).
Loads must be moved in compliance with current occupational
safety regulations
After each use, place the machine on a stable surface checking that it has the
appropriate capacity.
3 COMMISSIONING
CAUTION:
The installer is responsible for checking that the appropriate technical features of
the hydraulic power unit are met, according to the model of crusher applied (see
Par. 1.02).
The crusher can only be installed on a hydraulic power unit compliant with Directive
2006/42/EC.
3.01 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before connecting the crusher, perform the following checks on the hydraulic power
unit:
A. check the correct operation of the safety devices;
B. check the condition of the quick couplings and the other coupling
components both on the crusher and the hydraulic power unit.

10
3.02 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
To connect the crusher to the hydraulic power unit insert the quick coupling hoses (see
below) into the special attachments on the power unit.
After connecting the hoses, activate the crusher 5-6 times and check for any oil leaks.
CAUTION
Residual risk of burns: hydraulic oil, hoses and fittings can reach very high
temperatures with or without the cylinder applied. Use suitable personal protective
equipment.
CONNECTION:
For connecting quick couplings, proceed as follows (for references see fig. 2):
Never use damaged quick couplings.
Never connect a quick coupling to the hydraulic power unit if the
hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
Make sure there is no residual pressure in the hydraulic circuit; otherwise, discharge
the pressure according to the instructions of the power unit manufacturer contained in
the relevant Use and maintenance manual.
Remove the anti-dust plugs from the couplings. The anti-dust plug can be easily
removed (see ref. 2 in fig. 2 );
Check for dust and any damage on the quick couplings and clean them if necessary;
Push the quick couplings against each other (see ref. 3 in fig. 2). The external ring nut
of the female coupling will automatically move in the opposite direction to that shown by
the arrows on the ring nut itself and will be locked in the correct position.
Check that the quick couplings cannot be easily separated and check that the external
ring nut of the female coupling is in the correct position.
Thoroughly clean all the quick couplings both on the cylinder and the power
unit before connecting them.
If, for any reason, pressure remains in the power unit hoses it will not be
possible to insert the male quick coupling into the female quick coupling.
Follow the instructions of the power unit manufacturer to remove pressure

11
Fig. 2
DISCONNECTION:
For disconnecting quick couplings, proceed as follows (for references see fig. 2A):
Make sure there is no residual pressure in the hydraulic circuit; otherwise,
discharge the pressure according to the instructions of the power unit
manufacturer contained in the relevant Use and maintenance manual.
Detach the quick couplings by rotating (A) the external ring nut of the female
coupling and making it slide (B) in the direction shown by the arrows; the male
coupling will come out of its position (see ref. 2 in fig. 2A).
Remove any dirt or oil residues from the quick couplings and the anti-dust plugs.
Replace the anti-dust plugs on the male and female quick couplings (see ref. 3 in
fig.2A).

12
Fig. 2A
CAUTION
After disconnecting the hoses, apply the anti-dust plugs to prevent impurities from entering
and protect the quick couplings.

4 USE
Controlled demolition crushers are designed to demolish concrete or brick walls depending
on the specific piece of equipment used for the dimensions indicated in the technical
characteristics, minimising noise, dust, vibrations and/or percussions.
The CRUSHER 230-DE T10 demolishes concrete walls (R=325 kg/cm²) with the maximum
dimensions indicated in the technical specifications.
6.01 OPERATIVE DEMOLITION STAGE
Place the crusher jaws onto the object to be demolished so that it is perpendicular to the
axis of the object (fig. 3 shown as an example)
Fig. 3
If the crusher is in the wrong position, there can be damage to the tool due to the
significant thrust exerted by the cylinder.
-Place the jaws along the perpendicular line of the material to be demolished taking into
account the data shown in the technical features.
-After correctly positioning the jaws on the material to be demolished, move the
actuation handle in the direction of the "CLOSE” arrow until work is complete (see fig.
4).
YES

14
-Move it in the opposite direction “OPEN” to open the jaws and return to the original
position (see fig. 4).
-Make sure the actuation flange stops in the neutral position. This position can be
recognised by the alignment of the reference sign on the actuation flange with the
reference sign on the handle (see ref. 1 in fig. 4 ).
The following picture is only an example.
Fig. 4
CAUTION: TO AVOID BREAKING THE JAWS AND PINS AND TO OPTIMISE THE
FORCE OF THE TOOL, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON
HOW TO POSITION THE MACHINE ON THE MATERIAL:
PLACE THE EQUIPMENT ONTO THE MATERIAL SO THAT IT IS PERPENDICULAR
TO AXIS OF THE MATERIAL ITSELF (fig. 3).
It is expressly forbidden to use the tool for purposes other than that indicated above
The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage caused to people, animals or
property if the above machine is used for purposes other than those it was designed
for.

5.01 CLEANING THE MACHINE
The cleaning operations must be performed using a dry cloth or compressed air. For
plastic surfaces the use of a cloth slightly dampened with water is allowed.
5.02 CHECKING THE SCREWS
Periodically, or every day in the event of frequent or prolonged work, make sure that all the
screws are perfectly tight.
FAILURE TO TIGHTEN LOCKING SCREWS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
5.03 GREASING
Periodically or daily (in the event of frequent or extended works) check that the central pin (
see ref. 1 in fig. 5 ) is appropriately lubricated.
To grease the pin, use lithium-based water-repellent grease and apply it with a manual
grease gun (see example in fig. 5), pumping the grease into the grease nipple located on
one of the two jaws (see ref. 2 in fig. 5).
