RAM-TILT COUPLER

RAM-TILT COUPLER OPERATING PRINCIPLE The single acting displacement cylinder design incorporates ‘smart valve’ technology which locks the position of the tilt coupler once it is at the required angle. Hydraulic oil is trapped in both cylinders and is only released should the external load on the coupler be greater than the safe operating pressure of the cylinder. Urethane absorbers at the base of each cylinder allow them to move through the tilting range. The urethane also absorbs any shock loading that the Ram-Tilt is subjected to, aiding its robust design.

INTRODUCTION

Phase 1: With the slide fully extended, the front safety latch is opened to pick up the front pin of attachment.

Phase 2: Retracting the slide fully engages the front safety latch onto the front pin of attachment and the rear safety latch becomes open.

Phase 3: With the rear pin of the attachment in contact with the coupler, fully extending the slide wedges the slide onto the rear pin and engages the rear safety latch. Oil is locked in the cylinder by the check valve.

The patented Ram-Tilt system allows your Ram-Tilt to pick up a range of attachment pin centres with the same pin diameter.* The Ram-Tilt contains a fully compliant front and rear locking mechanism.

TO RELEASE ATTACHMENTS: 1. Place attachment on flat ground 2. Retract slide and crowd out of rear pin 3. Extend slide to release front safety latch 4. Lift Ram-Tilt away from attachment

Following the installation of the Ram-Tilt onto the machine, consult with the hydraulic installer as to the correct control operation of the Ram-Tilt and tilting cylinder circuits. Depending on the installer and the method used, controls can vary and it is important that the operator clearly understands how each circuit is operated.

25www.calibre.equipment

RTC2017A

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

SAFETY LATCHES IN CLOSED POSITION

CONNECTION TESTCheck all attachments are fitted correctly. The safety latch is designed to work in closed position on the front pin. If the safety latch is not closed when attached to any attachment, check the rear jaw on the Ram-Tilt if fitted.If uncertain DO NOT USE THIS ATTACHMENT - call your local Calibre branch for assistance. Advise manufacturer of which attachment is not fitting and arrange modification before it is used.

To ensure the Ram-Tilt has engaged securely to pins on attachment:

• Visually check the safety latch is engaged on the pin

• Test before operating through applying pressure to attachment by rotating against the ground and away from machine

• Do not proceed with work unless the safety latch is in closed position on the front pin

• If the safety latch on the front pin is open DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE

26 www.calibre.equipment

RTC2017A

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

A) Check that each individual attachment’s pin-centre fits the Ram-Tilt to confirm the range on the label

B) Check the inner width of the Ram-Tilt. Width must be wider than the Ram-Tilt base

C) Check Pin Diameter spacers can be fitted to either the base of the Ram-Tilt or between the inner side of the ears and the bosses of attach-ment.

It is highly recommended to fit spacers in the case of heavier applications, particularly on machines that are 14 ton and above.

CHECKING ATTACHMENTS

Label will indicate pin centre range (minimum - maximum)

DANGER:

DO NOT USE ANY ATTACHMENT WITH THE SAFETY LATCH UP

WARNING:Check pin centre of Ram-Tilt for all attachments

If the Ram-Tilt body becomes worn or damaged in this area contact your local Calibre branch or authorised service centre immediately.

The slide hook will have free movement when new. To gauge the wear of the cast body and slide hook place an allen key as in image 1 to test the space between the slide hook and cast body.

Please see the table below to verify the maximum wear of the cast body.

The slide should sit below the bearing surface of the rear attachment pin no less than 3mm

Manual Inspection of both the Front & Rear Latch is to be carried out to ensure safety latch movement is within acceptable safety tolerances as specified below. This is in addition to a daily visual check of the safety latch and usual wear and tear assessments.

FRONT LATCH

• Must fully RETRACT slide to lock safety latch• Must LIFT UP latch & measure gap in between • Use a ruler to measure the distance between the bottom of the jaw to the tip of the

Safety Latch whilst pulled up with hand• This measurement (mm) is the Maximum Opening Distance

The Maximum Opening Distance should be compared to the Safe Allowable Variation Table. If the Maximum Opening Distance is LESS than the Maximum Allowable Opening Distance for the Ram-Tilt model, it is safe to use.
