3 Design and function
3. Design and function
3.1. General
The engcon tiltrotator adds flexibility and efficiency to an excavator and allows it to be
used for more operations. The product provides the ability to both tilt and rotate a tool.
3.2. Tool(s)
engcon’s tiltrotators are designed to be used with engcon’s hydraulic tools and tools that
are type-approved in the base machine’s operator’s manual.
DANGER
Do not exceed tipping load limits. The weight of the
product and the increased reach may impair stability.
Risk of personal injury and damage to property.
3.3. Q-Safe
Q-Safe is a warning system that monitors the connection of tools to the machine quick
hitch and/or the quick hitch beneath the tiltrotator. It has a double mechanical lock to
prevent the tool coming loose from the hitch, even if some part of the locking system
should fail. The alarm outputs are connected to a QLM module mounted on the stick. It
uses sound and light warning signals when a tool is incorrectly connected, as the primary
safety purpose of the quick hitch is to protect personnel nearby. The operator must inform
personnel concerned what the alarms mean.
WARNING
Stop work immediately and begin troubleshooting if
the system warns of a faulty tool connection during
operation. Risk of personal injury and damage to
property.
CAUTION
Use hearing protection when close to or handling
the Q-Safe quick hitch when it is connected. Risk of
hearing damage.
