3.8 INSTALLING THE HYDRAULIC LOCKING
If the Rotozi bucket rotator is equipped with hydraulic tool locking, the locking
must be controlled in one of the ways below.
Alternative A
, Simultaneous use of two buttons:
Two buttons must be pressed at the same time to remove a tool
It must not be possible to press the buttons with one hand
Both buttons must be self-returning.
At least one of the buttons must be located somewhere other than the
joystick (hand must be taken off the joystick to use the safety lock)
Alternative B
, Separate safety lock:
In order to remove the tool, you must first open the safety lock
The safety lock must be located somewhere other than the joystick (hand
must be taken off the joystick to use the safety lock)
When the safety lock is open, a sound must be heard
Only once the safety lock has been opened will it be possible to release the
actual tool; the button must be self-returning.
Note!
Hydraulic locking must be installed so that the cylinder is under constant
pressure when in the locked position.
Hydraulics faults may only be repaired by authorised professionals. Before
maintenance, make sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic system.
CAREFUL! Hot hydraulic oil. Do not look for a hydraulic leak with your hands.

3.9 CENTRAL LUBRICATION
If your bucket rotator has been supplied with manual central lubrication, all lubrication will be
done by means of a progressive distributor nipple.
By replacing the nipple with a connector, you can connect the rotator lubrication to your
machine’s central lubrication system. If this is the case, you must make sure that:
-
A sufficient amount of lubricant has been specified for the bucket rotator
-
When connecting to a single-line system in particular, you must check regularly that the
rotator is receiving lubricant. We recommend that the rotator is always connected to a
progressive system, such as Beka-Max
3.10 LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
We supply the machines with initial lubrication. Depending on the model and bracket, the
lubrication nipple locations may vary.
Lubricate all nipples daily.
You must use a high-quality lubricant designed for pinions.

machine. As a rule, the tilt and rotation is done by pressing the buttons.
The tool is used by controlling the tilting and rotating elements.
4.1 MAINTENANCE
The machine must be maintained regularly to guarantee durability and safety. It
is important that daily maintenance is carried out as instructed.
