DETERMINING LIFT CAPACITY (PAGE 13)
SAS™ Vulture Wire Extractor
READ & FOLLOW SAFETY INFORMATION IN ORIGINAL EXCAVATOR MANUFACTURER’S
OPERATOR, SAFETY AND SERVICE MANUALS.
Excavator will handle loads differently than with the original bucket.
The purpose of this document is to describe the method of load rating and operating limitation parameters
of the Vulture Wire Extractor 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 Vulture Wire Extractor.
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.

DETERMINING LIFT CAPACITY (PAGE 14)
SAS™ Vulture Wire Extractor
Establishing Load Ratings
The structure of the Vulture Wire Extractor grapple head attachment is designed to lift a load that
meets or exceeds the excavator’s boom lift capacity, when hydraulic pressure of between 80% and
100% of maximum pressure per the label on Vulture grapple head attachment is supplied by the excava-
tor, the Vulture grapple mechanism to adequately engage the item lifted.
The lift limitations set forth by the excavator OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) must be reviewed
and understood by the operator. The excavator OEM operator manual or in cab label is expected to pro-
vide a chart with lifting capacities at a variety of lift positions, in accordance with ISO 10567:2007 The op-
erator must apply the weight of the Vulture grapple head assembly and interpret the excavator OEM chart
whereas the position of the dozer blade or stabilizers are considered to be off the ground to determine the
permissible load.
Sample chart. This chart does not contain any valid lift capacities for any excavator equipped with an
Vulture Wire Extractor attachment.
In accordance with typical excavator OEM lifting charts, with general reference to sample chart
above, positions that effectively reduce the load threshold at which tipping occurs, include:
●Lifting dozer blade or downriggers as shown in sample illustration (B) or (C).
●Turning of excavator’s cab across tracks or wheels with the dozer up, shown in sample illustration (C).
●Extending the reach of the boom and stick.
Operator must identify load chart for specific excavator, not included herein, and use limits
per the chart which specifies ‘dozer up and side lift’ or ‘outriggers up and side lift’, and sub-
tract weight of Extreme grapple head assembly, to identify the net lift capacity permissible.

OPERATION GUIDE (PAGE 15)
SAS™ Vulture Wire Extractor
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.
Tip over risk.
Rotating machine
with hold down
arm or any out-riggers not in firm contact
with ground or attempting to travel with
an elevated load, may cause the ma-
chine to tip over. To provide best sta-
bility prior to rotating the cab, place hold
down arm firmly against ground or on
car. Wear seat belt.
Risk of claw con-
tact with cab &
damage and or injury to operator if oper-
ator curls boom, stick, and jaws in. Do
not fully curl boom, stick, jaws in.
Avoid Head con-
tact with wire strip-
per when rotating
cab. Damage may occur.
Tip over & crush
risk. Extreme
Head Assembly may weigh more than
the original bucket which the excavator
manufacturer installed, thus reducing
the potential lift capacity. Lift-
ing excess weight may cause
tip over, damage & injury or
death. Wear seat belt.
Move controls
slowly, not jerking
machine. Rough
or jerking motions may cause damage to
machine or Extreme attachment.
Electrocution and
crush risk if con-
tact made with
electric power lines or building structure.
