2.1. General
It is important that you read and understand all warnings prior to installation work on this
product or before you use it and any accessories supplied. The warning texts highlight
potential risks and describe how to avoid them. The following warning levels are used in
this user manual:
DANGER
Indicates that an accident will occur if the regulation is
not followed. Risk of personal injury or death.
WARNING
Indicates that an accident may occur if the regulation
is not followed. Risk of personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Indicates that an accident may occur if the regulation
is not followed. Risk of personal injury.

3 Design and function
3. Design and function
3.1. General
The engcon machine coupler is mounted on the excavator's stick. The machine coupler
renders tool attachment and detachment more efficient.
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.
3.2. Q-Safe
Q-Safe is a warning system that monitors the connection of tools to the machine quick
coupler and/or the quick coupler beneath the tiltrotator. It uses a double mechanical lock
to prevent the tool coming loose from the coupler, 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 coupler 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 in close proximity
to or operating the Q-Safe machine coupler when
connected. Risk of hearing loss.

3 Design and function
3.3. EC-Oil
engcon’s system for more efficient tool changes. It provides the ability to switch hydraulic
tools without leaving the cab. The system is designed for maximum reliability in harsh
environments. It is a fully hydraulic system that handles the connection of tools under full
system pressure.

4 Installation
4. Installation
It is important to check the necessary additional documentation before installation. At time
of delivery, your product and supplementary documentation are as far as possible adapted
to your base machine.
WARNING
Never attempt to increase the maximum capacity
of the equipment by modifications not approved by
the supplier. Risk of personal injury and damage to
property.
WARNING
Welding is not permitted. It can have a negative
impact on safety. Risk of personal injury and damage
to property. For welding, contact your dealer or
engcon Nordic AB.
WARNING
Beware of moving parts. A lack of awareness may lead
to crush injuries. Risk of personal injury.
IMPORTANT
Ensure miscibility with the base machine's hydraulic oil
prior to installation. If you are in any doubt, contact your
lubricant supplier. An incorrect mixture could damage hydraulic
components.
4.1. Identification
Check that your product's rating plate matches the information according to 1.6.1. EU
Declaration of Conformity. If there is any deviation, contact the supplier before you begin
initial installation.

4.2. Locking hydraulics
The following mounting and installation instructions assume the excavator to be equipped
with the appropriate locking hydraulics. If the base machine does not have locking
hydraulics, contact engcon for reference to the recommended installation kit.

4 Installation
4.3. Attaching the machine coupler
Before installation
Check the tipping load limits. Take the product's weight
and the increased reach into account. Installation may
make it necessary to reduce the capacity of the tool.
Position the base machine and machine coupler on a flat,
non-slip surface. Make sure the product is upright and in
line with the stick and the dog bone linkage.
Figure 4.
Installation
Fit any O-rings if such must be used.
Position the dog bone linkage to align with the appropriate
holes in the machine coupler.
Shim the width if necessary.
Insert the intended shaft journal.
Figure 5.
Fit the shaft journal lock and make sure it locks correctly.
Figure 6.
6. Position the stick so that it is aligned with the
designated holes in the machine bracket.
7. Lower the stick carefully; make sure that no shear
forces occur.
8. Shim the width if necessary.
9. Apply plenty of grease in the cavity and bushings.
14
4 Installation
IMPORTANT
Fill the bushings and the cavity
in the stick with grease. Central
lubrication only provides top-offs.
10. Insert the intended shaft journal.
11. Fit the shaft journal lock and make sure it locks
correctly.
Figure 7.
4.4. Electrical and hydraulics
IMPORTANT
Maintenance and repair of the electrical system may only be
carried out by professionally qualified persons.
WARNING
Switch off power when working on the electrical
system and remove any live objects before starting
work Risk of personal injury.
WARNING
Be meticulous with the insulation of electrical
conductors and components when installing/fitting
electrical equipment. Short circuits in electrical wiring
can result in fires.

4.4.1. Installing hydraulic hoses
Make sure hose lengths are such that they do not hang
too much or are stretched when tilting the product.
Fit the hydraulic hoses as shown in Figure 10.
Close Open indicates the locking function (the location of
the adapters may vary)
Figure 8.
Tank Pressure Rotation mark theEC-Oil block hydraulic
connections.
WARNING
The hydraulic system
must be de-pressurized
before work on the
system is begun. Risk
of personal injury and
damage to property.
Minimum supply pressure for lock hydraulics is 3,190 psi.
Observe maximum supply pressure. See Chapter 9.
Technical data.
