EXCAVATOR FRAME REINFORCEMENT
POTENTIAL X-FRAME REINFORCEMENTS TO CONSIDER:
Excavator OEM x-frame brackets which mount OEM dozer blade may not provide sufficient distribution of
loads from SAS Extreme Hold Down Arm attachment & may result in x-frame & bracket structural failure.
●Careful consideration of this information will reduce the likelihood of x-frame & x-frame bracket failure.
●Operational advice: Minimize the amount of down force applied when restraining the car, specifically,
avoid pushing down to the extent that the front of the excavator is lifted and suspended.
●This document is not authorization to modify excavator x-frame, it is intended to provide a guide for con-
sideration of reinforcements for Customer, OEM, OEM authorized equipment tech., & professional welder.
NOTICE: Any reinforcement work may cause Excavator OEM warranty, if any, to be void.
●Any reinforcement/modification of x-frame may cause other unintended cracking or damage. SAS is not responsible
for reinforcement installation or performance, or resulting issues, if any.
SAS Limited Warranty applies only to SAS manufactured components, not excavator, x-frame or x-frame brackets.

INSTALLATION: HOLD-DOWN ASSEMBLY (PAGE 11)
SAS™ EXTREME™ AUTO PROCESSOR
GROUND
INSTALLATION OF SAS™ EXTREME™ AUTO PROCESSOR HOLD DOWN ASSEMBLY (HDA):
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY AN EXPERIENCED HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC
AFTER INSTALLATION, PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Grease all pivot points with Stick and HDA resting on the ground and machine engine off.
2. Stay clear of pinch points. Slowly engage controls. Watch for interference. Stop if interference occurs.
a) Test up and down motions of HDA. Due to differences in machines and cylinder control valves,
if down cycle is not smooth, a jerking condition may occur.
Typically this can be rectified by installing simple flow control
valves on hydraulic lines which feed extend side of dozer
cylinders. (Indicated by arrows). (see Hold Down Parts list on
separate page). Two flow control valves are included in parts kit
with Qty 2, SAS Part No. HV-FLW-D-EF30S : Thread #8 NPT
Install flow control valves with fittings between car body frame
hose connection and hydraulic hose. Turn settings to near zero.
Test motion. Slightly open valves uniform amount. Retest. Repeat
until jerking occurs, then turn back to achieve smooth motion.
b) Test rotational clearance with HDA raised incrementally high-
er. Stay clear of pinch points, overhead electrical wires, and other structures, slowly and cautiously
rotate cab and counter weight visually checking for interference of lower cab and counter weight
with HDA lifted at highest level.
Stop if interference occurs & contact SAS FORKS with serial number for engineering assistance.
1. Remove existing dozer blade. Inspect pins and bushings. Replace as needed.
2. Hold Down Assembly (HDA) weight approximately 1,620 kg ( 3,575 LB ).
Eyelets in center of HDA is balance point. If excavator is sufficiently rated to
lift such, align stick with lifting eyelets. Using safe and adequately rated rig-
ging chains, keeping all persons clear, lift HDA off pallet. Move away from
shipping pallet and place on ground with block in place which will allow upper
surface of HDA to be level.
3. HDA should be set level as shown below for staging. Drive excavator up to
HDA and align lower pivot holes in dozer blade mount on excavator with holes
“A” in HDA. Insert and secure pivot pins into assembly.
4. With pivot pins inserted and secure, slowly extend dozer blade hydraulic cylin-
ders to align holes in rod end of cylinder to lift holes “B” in HDA. Keep clear of
pinch points. Insert and secure pivot pins into assembly.
5. Replace any guarding that may have been removed during the removal of the
dozer blade assembly.
SAS has no responsibility as to performance of excavator’s Hydraulic system or
structural adequacy or durability with this attachment.

●The high speed pilot line that originally runs to each the left and the right track drive motors is disconnected from
the motors and now only is routed to the pilot port on this ‘Valve’. This pilot line is typically the smaller of the two
small lines that run through the swivel/collector. This enables the 2nd position of the ‘Valve’ to function when the
‘high speed’ function is actuated in the cab of the excavator.
●With pilot line pressurized, ports C & D are now live & will be routed to cylinders to position hold down up/down.
●’Drain line’ is final port on ‘Valve’, this will be need to be T’d into existing drain line that runs from each track drive
motor & back up through the swivel. This line is typically larger of two ‘small’ lines running through swivel/collector.
If arm operates as expected, keep OEM pilot source at ‘P?’ If track unexpectedly moves, cap off OEM pilot at P?,
then install Alternate Pilot Feed (APF?), valve, drain & switch to connect to “Pilot In” rather than OEM pilot.

DETERMINING LIFT CAPACITY (PAGE 19)
SAS™ EXTREME™ AUTO PROCESSOR
READ & FOLLOW SAFETY INFORMATION IN ORIGINAL EXCAVATOR MANUFACTURER’S
OPERATOR, SAFETY AND SERVICE MANUALS.
Excavator will handle loads differently than with the original dozer blade & bucket.
The purpose of this document is to describe the method of load rating and operating limitation parame-
ters
of the Extreme auto processor as indicated on the operating data plate of the device.
On this product, SAS Forks installs a data plate on the product which specifies ;
■ Product model
■ Product serial number
■ Product weight
■ Product production date
■ Notice to refer to Excavator OEM positional lift chart and make appropriate reductions in permissible lift
capacities to offset any differential in the original rated attachment, if any, and the weight of the Product,
the Extreme Head Assembly.
It is important to note that the actual load (lift) ratings of the product are impacted by multiple factors
in which the operator is responsible to take into account and to reduce the weight of any potential
item to lift, to ensure machine remains stable, and does not tip. The below items are not a comprehensive
list, but these complex work variables must be taken into account by the operator to ensure
safe operation;
■ Ground or working surface stability
■ (More unsafe: soft, unpredictable or variable surface compaction /vs/ More safe: solid surface)
■ Positioning of excavator on such working surface
■ (More unsafe: angled and tilted /vs/ More safe: flat & level )
■ Proximity in which excavator is to work and materials to be lifted.
■ (More unsafe: Extending lift arms and lifting /vs/ More safe: working close with minimum reach
■ Lowering and engagement of outriggers to working surface
■ (More unsafe: Outriggers removed and/or not engaged to ground /vs/ More safe; Outriggers
lowered fully and engaged with solid working surface.
■ Amount of hydraulic pressure operator allocates to the grapple of the Extreme product
■ (More unsafe: Operator not providing sufficient hydraulic pressure to engage object lifted /vs/
More safe: Operator engages excavator’s hydraulic system to ensure secure grappling.
■ Lift capacity limitation of excavator, based on excavator’s OEM lift capacity chart
■ (More unsafe: Not understanding parameters and assumes within the excavator’s OEM chart
vs/ More safe: Clearly understand excavator’s OEM load chart, product weight, & parameters.
■ Strength and durability of the item being lifted. (This product is meant only to lift scrap metal,
never
lift any good resalable product. Never lift any persons or any device holding any persons.
■ (Prohibited & dangerous: Attempting to lift persons in any manner will result in injury or death.
■ (More unsafe: Lifting items in such a manner that may rip or separate /vs/
■ More safe: Grapple items on heavy surface that provides a secure grip with Extreme grapple.
