5 Loosen and remove the screw allen (item 5). Then remove the seated pin (item 6).
6 To give space, remove the two sensors (including hose clamps/brackets) by
loosening and removing the bolts and the washers (item 7).
7 Remove the bolt (item 8), the washer (item 9) and the lock washer (item 10).
Turn the twistlock cylinder away (item 11), to give space.
8 Remove the four bolts and washers (item 12) from the crank (item 13).
9 Li o the crank and remove the sleeve (item 14), the key (item 15) and the roll
pin (item 16) aached to the twistlock (item 17).
10 Remove the twistlock (item 17).
11 Finally, loosen and remove the bolts and the washers (item 18) from the twistlock
sleeve (item 19) and remove it.
Inspection/greasing prior to reassembly
12 Aer removal of all twistlock parts, remove all grease and dirt from the parts and
also from the corner of the head. Steam clean or clean with some form of solvent.
13 Check the twistlock (item 17) for wear on the head. The sleeve (item 14) and the
crank (item 13) should also be inspected for possible wear or damage and
replaced if necessary.
It should be noted that the state of the sleeve (item 14) and the recess in the
twistlock (item 17) is very important, as these parts are carrying the load when
 acontainerislied.
14 Before reassembling the twist lock parts, it is very important to plenful grease
the bushing inside the twist lock sleeve (item 19), the spacer (item 20) and the
surface it is placed on. Also grease the head of the twistlock (item 17) and inside
the tower (item 22) before mounng the seated pin (item 6).
15 It is also very important to plenful grease the surface both on top of and
underneath the area as shown on the gure on page 4 (item 21) before
reassembling.
Replacing / Fitting twistlocks
16 Replace/reassemble in reverse order, see above (from point 10 and backwards)

To eliminate mechanical fricon, there are plasc pads between extension beams and
main frame. The pads are posioned for support to reduce and also to absorb horizon-
tal and vercal shock loads, they are mounted in several retainers. This design makes
inspecon and replacement easy. There are also plasc pads on the carriage and the
PPS frame (opon), see next two pages.
WEAR PADS & SHIMS
6

Plastic wear pads
The plasc wear pads (item 1) should be inspected for wear. Replacing the wear pads
can be done with ordinary hand tools and without removing the beams. The wear
pads (items 3) are not likely to wear and are therefore not included in the service
box.
Shims
If the play on the sides of the extension beam is more than 10 mm, it is possible to
use dierent sizes of shims (item 2) to reduce the play. Always check the play in 30
posion or where the extension beam is the greatest. Minimum play should be 1 mm
aer shimming.

ELME GENUINE PARTS
By using ELME genuine parts, you always get parts you can rely on and true peace of
mind. If you are using non-genuine parts, you put weak links into a strong, perfectly
designed chain of interacve components. Please note that non-genuine parts are made
by factories that have not been approved by ELME and they are oen manufactured to be
as cheap as possible, using inferior materials, workmanship and by reversed engineering.
Non-genuine parts are high risk. Real cost and real risk is measured not in the price, but in
the cost of the component in the event of failure. Use of non-genuine parts may lead to
higher downme and lower producvity due to more frequent failures. For correct operaon
of the spreader, only ELME Genuine Parts and accessories which are approved by ELME should
be used. If non-genuine parts are used, the warranty is not valid. By using ELME Genuine Parts
and accessories approved by ELME, you will maintain original standard. ELME will disclaim all
responsibility if parts from third party are used.
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
Always inspect your spreader before using it. If any kind of damage is detected – which may af-
fect the funcon of the spreader - this must be corrected before use. If the spreader needs to be
repaired, please contact a specialist and see to that only ELME Genuine Parts are used if need of
replacement. This is to ensure that the spreader sll is reliable. Repairs made by a non-qualied
person or use of non-genuine parts may lead to increased risk of personal injuries or damages.
Service and maintenance are necessary to keep capacity and eciency of the spreader for many
years.
MODIFICATION OF THE SPREADER/PRODUCT LIABILITY/WARRANTY
For the avoidance of doubt, ELME is not liable in case of damage due to factors beyond ELME’s
control or due to a lack of maintenance or the use of non-genuine parts. The spreader should
not be modied without consultaon with ELME. If so, this means that the spreader is not CE
approved and thus ELME has no product liability.
