Fig 4.1 shows the fully closed position of the pipe handler. This position guarantees the lowest
center of gravity (CG), resulting the most stable position on the ground level.
Picking-up and unloading of pipes
STEP 01
Move the proportional slider mounted on the joystick which controls the clamping function. Open
fully (or partially) as shown in the Fig 4.3 according to the pipe size. Then firmly approach the pipe
until more than ¾ of the pipe inside the hook.
Fig 4.2: Joystick with proportional slider module
During connecting/disconnecting quick coupler,
transporting, or storing always keep the pipe
handler fully closed position (Fig 4.1). This is
the safest position for ground handling.
14. P I P E H A N D L E R
11
Fig 4.3: Approaching the pipe
STEP 02
Move the proportional slider in opposite direction until fully clamped position as Fig 4.4. It is
advisable to apply the maximum pressure for clamping to make a rigid grasp between the pipe and
hooks. The maximum pressure can be applied by moving the proportional slider to the end.
Fig 4.4: Clamped position
15. P I P E H A N D L E R
12
Maximum clamping pressure can damage HDPE pipes. Titan Pipe handler is already set to a
maximum pressure to protect most commonly used HDPE pipes. Also, this maximum pressure can
further be reduced / increased according to different types of HDPE pipes.
Fig 4.5: Main hydraulic controller
Direct-acting relief valve (RBAE 2) governs the maximum clamping pressure. RBAE 2 is a cartridge
valve with a adjustable knob as shown in Fig 4.5. Turn “clockwise” to increase the clamping
pressure. Turn “anti-clockwise” to reduce clamping pressure.
To unload the pipe follows the reverse order of the picking-up.
16. P I P E H A N D L E R
13
Tilting of pipes
Titan pipe handler can be used to tilt pipes in clockwise/anti-clockwise directions as shown in Fig
4.6. Maximum tilt angle is limited to 15 degrees each side. This tilt function is also controlled by a
proportional slider similar to shown in Fig 4.2. Proportional controller provides a smooth tilting
operation that can be used to precise positioning of pipes.
Fig 4.6: Tilted position
17. P I P E H A N D L E R
14
Rotating of pipes
Titan pipe handler can be used to rotate pipes in clockwise/anti-clockwise directions continuously as
shown in Fig 4.7. Rotational speed is approximately 5 RPM. This rotating function is also controlled
by a proportional slider similar to shown in Fig 4.2. Proportional controller provides a smooth
rotating operation that can be used to precise positioning of pipes.
Fig 4.7: Rotating of pipes
Lifting of pipes
Whenever, lifting pipes with the pipe handler ensure that great care is taken. The lifting capacity is
stamped on the compliance plate. Also compare this lifting capacity value with the excavator rated
lifting capacity and the lower value must always be used.
Do not lift any pipe greater than the lifting
capacity value on the compliance plate

Preventive Maintenance
PROTECTION SURVEY
A visual examination makes it possible to ensure the integrity of parts.
Absence of excessive stretch, cracks or tears
Signs of wear or damage
Correct positioning
Evidence of oil leakage
Check for pollutants such as sand, coal, metallic particles, etc.
FASTENER SURVEY
It is particularly important to check that the required preload level of the bolts is still maintained as
the fasteners of the slewing rings are essentially working in fatigue. We recommend retightening the
fasteners after the first two to four months of utilization and then proceeding to a systematic yearly
check.
If any bolt is found loose, a further in deep examination is essential. The necessary preservative
measures must then be exercised. Some regulations impose the replacement of fasteners every seven
years or every 14 000 working hours. In any case, refer to local rules and regulations enforced
connected with the application.
Use a "star shape" pattern when torquing the bolts of slew ring which ensures a uniform tightening
over the whole periphery.
Table 6.2: Tightening torque
ORIENTATION SURVEY
During cleaning prior to regreasing of the ring gear and pinion drive:
Check carefully for any foreign body at the tooth root, ring and pinion.
Check the even load distribution of the pinion on the entire width of the ring gear.
Check the backlash value. Adjust the driving pinion to the maximum eccentric point of the
ring gear, marked by a blue line. The backlash must be within the limits of 0.447mm to
0.8.7mm. Please refer to the Fig 6.1.

Lubrication
A suitable lubrication is essential for the longevity of the raceways of slew ring, gears, and bearings.
The operating conditions such as loads, temperatures, speeds, vibrations, etc. determine the choice
of lubricant. As being a significant component of the bearing, grease will improve the bearing
capabilities and longevity.
Recommendationsforbearinglubricants
Lithium-base soap.
Minimum viscosity of the base: 150 mm2
/sec.
Grade NLGI 2.
Anti-wear and extreme pressure additives.
Service temperature : – 30° C à + 120° C
GreasingFrequency
The greasing frequency varies according to utilization and environment. We recommend regreasing
every 150 hours in normal usage. This frequency is to be reduced to 50 hours when the conditions
of application are severe or if the environment is dusty or wet. Greasing is required, before and after
a long idle period. Regrease every 6 months, while rotating, during prolonged idle periods.
Apply grease to the points given in the Fig 6.4, Fig 6.5, and Fig 6.6 using a high pressure grease gun.
All greasing points are located externally and easily accessible.
