SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
2-2
Harvesters processors
Quadco recommends that all machines installed with Quadco’s drum or disc mowers should
have the original front windshield replaced by a 1 1\4’’ thick Lexan window or equivalent
polycarbonate polymer** at the time of installation.
CAREFULLY read and follow the instructions on all safety signs (decals) on the machine.
Keep these symbols in readable condition and always replace missing or damaged symbols or
signs.
WHEN Inspecting or servicing the QUADCO HARVESTER, be sure to place it in a safe position on the
ground. STOP the engine and put all controls in the neutral position.
SHUT OFF Master switch – Take the engine key and cab door key when you leave
the operator’s seat.
WALK Around the QUADCO HARVESTER and check it over for broken or
deteriorated hoses and leaky fittings. Repair or replace as required.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
CHECK All fluid levels before starting and fill as required. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended fluids. Keep sparks, and any open flame away from these
flammable fluids.
CAUTION: If there is a high pressure oil leak and the machine was
just shut down, NEVER face the faulty part, as direct
exposure of skin to the hot oil may cause a scald, and
oil injected under the skin may cause DEATH.
CHECK For signs of structural cracks in the welds and repair immediately.
CHECK All knives. If the knives are not kept sharp, the delimbing performance of
the head will be affected.
CHECK All wear items for excessive wear and replace as required.
WALK The feed rolls and check for loose on the traction devices; tighten as
AROUND necessary.
NEVER: get between the rolls when they are in the open position!
NEVER Work between the rolls until the arms are SECURE!
MAKE Sure the cab of the carrier is clean and no loose wiring is exposed be
damaged.
NEVER Allow another person on the outside of the machine while it is operating.
When training new operators they must remain in the cab with the door
closed.
IMPORTANT
NEVER Allow the attachment head to free fall to the ground.
NEVER Swing the QUADCO HARVESTER blindly near log decks, standing trees,
or other obstacles; the collision may cause damage to the attachment.
NEVER Operate the QUADCO HARVESTER with bystanders closer than 200
feet.
ACTIVATE Rolls forward at low idle, for approximately 5 minutes. This allows warm oil
to circulate, therefore warming hydraulic lines before flexing.
Run the rolls back and forth at full R.P.M. without a tree in them; it may
NEVER
cause severe damage to the roll motors.
NEVER Send hot oil to a cold topping saw motor or the drive roll motors. These
motors must be warmed up slowly to prevent internal damage.
START Regular operation at 1/2 throttle for the first 15 minutes, or until functions
are working at normal speed.
NOTE: Start-up in cold weather without following start-up procedure may cause
structural and / or parts damage. Failure to follow these procedures could
void warranty.
Some of the problems are: bent, worn or overheated plate assemblies. Even though there
appears to be no visible damage, these plate assemblies could be seriously out of alignment
and cause pre-mature wear to rollers and / or saw ring. Another very critical concern is that
saw rollers be machined to fit plate assemblies and saw rings as a complete unit to ensure
proper fit of all components.
We seriously recommend that all QUADCO saw ring and / or saw rollers only be replaced by
our QUADCO FACTORY.
A rebuilt and exchange program is available to ensure the availability of a quality product for
our customers.
When a saw ring and / or saw rollers are replaced by other than the QUADCO FACTORY,
warranty will be void.
IMPORTANT
MAIN SAW DRIVE PINION NOTICE
It has come to the attention of QUADCO manufacturing that all our products using a
pinion and ring gear type main saw may see premature wear on the pinions when
working in very sandy conditions. When working in these conditions the sand acts as a
grinding compound, causing the pinions to wear out faster then normal. We recommend
that the pinion or pinions, be checked or replaced every 400 – 500 hours.
These conditions may vary from unit to unit, depending on ground conditions.
Failure to follow these recommendations, may result in failure of the saw ring and, or
motors, and warranty will be void.
IMPORTANT
ROTATE MOTOR SETUP PROCEDURE
After the processor unit has been mounted onto the carrier, the following procedure
should be followed to ensure proper operation of the rotate system.
If this procedure is not preformed, failure of the rotate motors may occur, and
warranty will be Void.
To help insure a long trouble free service life of the, it is QUADCO HARVESTER very important to
follow the guidelines below:
Keep all electrical system components and connections clean and dry.
Perform maintenance on a regular schedule.
Regularly inspect all cables and wires for wear and damage, especially where
they are prone to damage; on the harvester, carrier boom, and stick. Repair and
maintain them to prevent short circuits and broken wires.
Clean the Panelview display and the PLC cabinet windows with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild soap or detergent, since the use of abrasive brushes, cleaners or solvents may
damage the windows. Dry the panelview display with a chamois or a moist cellulose sponge
to avoid water spots. Clean the PLC cabinet inlet filter, outlet filter, and fan in a mild soap
solution; dry thoroughly before reassembly.
All fasteners should be retorqued after 50 hours of operation and then rechecked every
500 hours thereafter.

GREASING PROCEDURE
1. Make sure the QUADCO HARVESTER is placed flat on the bottom pan with arms
closed and both saw retracted.
2. Make sure carrier is shut down and safety devices are turned on.
The delimbing knife and top sidearm knife should be as sharp as possible at all times.
The position of the knife should be adjusted to suit various wood conditions. These
adjustments will need to be field set.

On small limbly wood, a close knife is preferred because the knife stays close to the
tree, helping to delimb the smaller limbs – refer to figure 2.
On wood where limbs are not a problem, you can move the knife edge back – refer to
figure 1.
A good rule of thumb to follow: if you are leaving stubby limbs, you need to move the
cutting edge in. This can be accomplished by grinding on the back side of the arms. If you are
slabbing or shaving off wood, your edge is too close and you need to move you edge back by
grinding on the inside of the arm. It may be necessary to take more off of the bottom of the
arms because of the tree bending through the processor.
The top sliding knife also needs regular maintenance that includes sharpening the knife
edge, proper edge adjustment, which is done the same as the delimbing knife adjustments.
When checking the knife, be sure the knife slides freely, if not, remove and clean tube and
knife shaft and install with new grease. The tensioner should also be checked and changed
when necessary.
This knife is important to keep properly maintained be because it cleans the path for the
measuring wheel to travel down the tree. The cleaner the tree, the better the measuring.
The accumulator is used in the roll arm circuit to help maintain constant squeeze
pressure on the roll arms, as well the accumulator helps to absorb shock load to the roll arm
circuit.
NOTE: OXYGEN or AIR should NEVER be used because of its tendency burn or
explode when compressed with OIL.
MAINTENANCE
PISTON
Repair kits are available for all accumulator models. When ACCUMULATOR
ordering repair kits, state complete model number from nameplate.
Also specify fluid and temperature at which used.
A rule – of – thumb for the nitrogen pre-charge level is one – half the maximum oil
pressure. This is acceptable for most applications. The pre-charge should be replenished
when it falls to one-third the maximum hydraulic oil pressure. On a 3000 PSI hydraulic system,
initial pre-charge should be 1500 PSI and replenishing level 1000 PSI.
The roll arm pressure is usually around 2500 – 3000 PSI, so a good charge pressure is
1300 – 1500 PSI. when checking pressure, only an approved accumulator pressure gauge
should be used. The accumulator has a valve stem set up on top for checking pressure and
recharging.

SAW DISC INFORMATION
1. Clean saw ring, tooth holders and top / bottom sleeves with Loctite primer to remove all oil and dirt. Dry all parts
thoroughly with rags and compressed air.
2. Apply a generous amount of Loctite 609 to all sleeve grooves on tooth holder.
4. Apply a generous amount of Loctite 609 to bottom sleeve. Insure there is a generous portion all around the sleeve.
Install the sleeve.
6. Apply a generous amount of Loctite 609 to top sleeve. Insure there is a generous amount all around the sleeve.
Install the sleeve.
7. Apply Loctite 262 to bolt that holds the top and bottom sleeve together. Tighten bolt and torque to 50 ft / lbs.
9. Clean saw tooth with Loctite primer to remove all oil and dirt. Dry with compressed air.
The main saw of the 2200, 2800 and the 5600, Quadco`s product line is for the most part maintenance free. A daily
inspection of the saw assembly should be done to insure that the unit is being lubricated, there should be evidence of a
light film of oil on the saw ring, the teeth are in good operating shape and that the complete assembly is in operational
condition. The ring to the main saw is guided and supported by rollers which run on bearings. These bearings should be
inspected or changed every 1000 hours of operation. If these bearings are not maintained properly a roller could seize up,
which will cause the ring and roller to wear out prematurely.
It is good practice to check the radial and axial play of the saw ring at least once a month. The working range of play
for normal wear should be between 0 and 1/16 inch of radial movement of the ring. If you find that the ring is over the
1/16 of an inch limit, Quadco has oversized rollers available. This would mean that the ring would have to have at least
1/16 of an inch of total travel in and out to be able to install the oversized rollers. Figures 1 and 2 show an example of
how to check this ring.
There are a few things that will cause the ring to wear prematurely, lack of lubrication, not changing the bearing in
the saw on a regular maintenance program and lifting or moving the processor while cutting a tree. Dull teeth will also
cause excessive cycle times, causing shorter life of the ring.
1. To determine saw condition follow the saw check procedures according to the Main Saw Maintenance Procedure –
see Section 2 page 2.10.
2. Determine wether it needs oversized rolls or rebearing, according to the amount of play in the saw.
3. To install bearings or roller end bearings, the following procedure should be followed:
b. Disassemble saw.
i. From the front of the saw facing motor cut outs place center roller with bearing installed from bottom.
j. Install the roller assemblies so that the Bearing Shoulders alternate from top plate to bottom plate as they go
around the saw.
See figure 3.0
Bearing Shoulder
Bearing Shoulder
m. Install top plate 7 making sure the saw is centered on stand or table so the saw cannot fall.
4. To secure all pieces, place location pin ( Part No. 008-000107) in from bottom upwards. Install 5/8 NC Bolts from
the bottom of saw, through saw hanger bar mount holes. Use flat washer on top followed by a nut.
NOTE: DO NOT torque these bolts at this time. Only tighten as tight as you can with your hand.
5. Next install the locating fastener pins (Part No. 008-000610). These are a two piece pin that are installed from
either side of the blade. The top portion of the pin has a ear that fits in the plate to stop the top portion from
turning. The bottom portion of the pin has a counter bore to accept Allen Head Socket Cap Screws (part No. 067-
008012).
7. When the pins have been installed, place Allen Head Socket Cap Screws in with the addition of Locktite 271.
Torque down from center of front out on each side then torque down Location pins (Part No. 008-000107) (
Torque 100 ft. / lb.).
8. Try to turn the outer ring, if it will not turn use a rubber hammer and tap the Filler Plate above the Rollers all
around the ring, and try to turn again. When the ring moves place more oil in the motor opening and it will rotate
smoothly.
NOTE:
When the saw is put back into operation, it should be checked for signs of lubrication at the rear of the saw.
IMPORTANT
When adjusting to minimize to clearance between saw ring and rollers, all adjustments must be made precisely the
same for all rollers, using the marks to indicate same position. This will keep the saw ring concentric to the center housing
and maintain proper gear lash for the drive pinion.
Adjust rollers out, a little at a time until ring becomes tight. Then back off each roller until radial clearance is
obtained of 0.003 to 0.008 inches.
Pinion back lash (swing saw only) should be .004 / .007 when saw is installed onto swing arm. Adjust and lock into
place with locating dowels. Refer to procedures for drilling dowel holes in saw arm.

do this, go to the CALIBRATE setting screen on the AB500 and select F1 to
start pump 1, and F2 to stop. If Maximum flow is required then select F3 to
start pump 2, and F4 to stop.
or
1.1.3 Adjust the carrier supply relief valve pressure slightly above the
main relief setting of the QUADCO control valve (approx. 4200 psi).
1.1.4 To set the main relief pressure of the QUADCO control valve
(fig.1,2): this is done by using the special tool supplied by
QUADCO, or a Danfoe adjusting tool.
1.1.5 Reset the carrier supply relief pressure to 400 psi (28 BAR) below
the main relief pressure setting of the QUADCO control valve.
3.1.1 The topping chain saw drive motor rotates, driving the chain counterclockwise.
3.1.2 An non-adjustable orifice drilled in the topping saw cylinder, regulates the
topping saw feed speed.
3.1.3 The return oil from the topping chain saw drive motor passes through a smaller
return hose than the supply hose and dumps to tank, creating back pressure
to feed the topping chain saw out.
3.2 PORT B FUNCTIONS:
3.2.2 Oil from the rod side of the cylinder returns to tank.
3.2.3 A shock and suction valve provides protection for the port B circuit.
It also provides make up oil as the topping chain saw drive motor
decelerates.
3.3 ADJUSTMENTS:
The top spool limiter adjusting screw controls the topping saw
return speed.
NOTE: If feed speed is too fast, the life of the bar and chain will be reduced. Regular
maintenance and proper tension adjustment will ensure saw performance.
If the return speed is too quick, the assembly bolts will loosen, which will reduce
the life of the bar and chain.
NOTE: The oiler assembly usually comes with plastic knobs. The 9/16” jam nut and 4
mm adjustment are covered by these plastic knobs.
4.1.1 Retracts the roll arm cylinder; closing the roll arms.
4.1.2 Oil from the piston side of the roll arm cylinder returns to tank through port B.
4.1.3 Shock and suction valves provide protection for the system.
4.2.1 Extends the roll arm cylinder; opens the roll arms.
4.2.2 Oil from the rod side of the roll arm cylinder returns to tank through port A.
4.2.3 Shock and suction valves provide protection for the system.
4.3 ADJUSTMENTS
4.3.1 Setting the load sense pressures (fig.5)
NOTE: In normal operation, the collector arm button is not used. When the delimbing
and grab arms are closed around the collected tree the collector arms will
automatically open. However, if the collector arms open button is pressed and
held down, it is normal for the collector arms to remain open, allowing oil to pass
through the 65 psi check, causing the delimb and grab arms to soft clam close.
6.3 ADJUSTMENTS:
1) Loosen the jam nut on the sequence valve with a 9/16 wrench.
2) Turn the adjusting screw on the sequence valve with a 4 mm allen
wrench to set the holding pressure required. (approx. 1500 psi)
3) Activate collector arms closed.
4) Adjust the holding pressure so the collector arms will hold a 6 “ tree,
until the delimb / grab arms have the first and second trees
secured. The delimb / grab arms should hold the trees securely
enough so the trees do not slip. Tighten the jam nut when the
desired pressure is attained.
5) The collector arms should then pull out from the collected trees to
the fully open position.
1) Adjust stop and bottom spool limiters for each arm valve sections to
control the speed of the opening and closing of the arms.
2) Activate the arms rocker to determine adjustments required for each
valve section; adjust each section according as follows.
3) Loosen the top jam nut, located on the mechanical activator end cap,
with a 10 mm wrench.
4) Turn the adjusting screw with a 3mm allen wrench clockwise to
decrease speed or counterclockwise to increase speed.
NOTE: Adjust delimb / grab arms to open simultaneously. Roll arms should open a
little behind grab arms, and close a little after grab arms.
5) After the desired opening and closing speed is attained for each section,
hold the adjusting screw position with the allen wrench while tightening the
jam nut.
8.1.1 The feed roll motors drive the tree in the forward direction.
8.1.2 Return oil from the feed roll motors goes to tank through port B.
8.1.3 The roll arms module port A is also activated and allows the roll arm
cylinder to maintain pressure and contact with the tree.
8.1.4 Port B on the soft clam valve module is activated simultaneously with
the feed roll valve module, allowing the delimb and grab arms to
close with the taper of the tree.
8.2 PORT B FUNCTIONS:
8.2.1 The feed roll motors drive the tree in the reverse direction.
8.2.2 Return oil from the feed roll motors goes to tank through port A.
8.2.3 The roll arms module port A is also activated and allows the roll arm
cylinder to maintain pressure and contact with the tree.
Note: Shock and suction valves provide protection for feed motors in both the
forward and reverse direction. A timer activates the opening of the delimb
and grab arms when the feed rolls operate in either direction. This is
adjustable in the computer.
9.1.1 The main saw valve module supplies oil to the main saw motors.
9.1.2 The return oil from the motors goes through a flow control, then
back to the tank through an open tank module in the main valve.
9.1.3 The flow control is used to create a 700 psi back pressure in the
return which is used for saw feed on the piston side of the saw feed
cylinders.
9.1.4 To control saw feed speed and to maintain the saw in the home
position, a counterbalance valve is used on the rod side of the feed
cylinders. This cartridge is adjustable, depending on wood
conditions.
9.1.5 There is a 5 psi check on the return line from the flow control to the
return module, to prevent and backpressure from the rest of the
heads hydraulic circuits getting back to the saw circuit, when it is
not in use.
9.1.6 The saw oiler is used by case drain oil and is activated by pressure
from the rod side of the saw feed cylinders.
9.2.1 When the saw button is released, the spool will shift electrically
opening port A, stopping saw motor operation and sending oil back
down the saw return line, through the counterbalance free flow
check and returning saw through the rod end of the cylinder. The oil
from the piston side of the cylinder free flows back to the valve
through the flow control. The shock and suction valve, combination
spool and anti-cavitation during this operation.
9.3 ADJUSTMENTS
The bottom spool limiter adjusting screw controls the saw return
speed.
1) Loosen the top jam nut, located on the mechanical activator end
cap, with a 10 mm wrench.
2) Turn the adjusting screw with a 3 mm allen wrench clockwise to decrease
saw return speed of counterclockwise to increase saw return speed.
3) After the desired saw return speed is attained, hold the adjusting screw
position with the allen wrench while tightening the jam nut.
4) The top spool limiter adjusting screw is for the oil flow going to the main
saw. This should be set for maximum spool travel.
NOTE: Regular maintenance of saw teeth and holders will ensure saw performance.
begins to turn. On the outlet of the motors the return oil goes through an adjustable flow control. The
flow control creates a backpressure that is used to feed the saw into the tree. As the flow increases to
the motors and the ring turns faster, the backpressure increases pushing the saw harder into the tree.
If the ring of the saw should slow down because of a difficult cut, the flow from the motors will
decrease. Therefore, since there is less flow there will be less backpressure, and the feed pressure will
be less.
10.1 FUNCTION:
10.1.3 Crossover reliefs are built into the motors for protection.
10.1.4 The tree harvestercan freely suspend when the float mode is
activated. (Refer to section 12.0)
11.1.1 The float system has tree pilot-operated check valves. They are
operated by an electrically operated pilot directional valve. This
directional valve supplied pilot flow to the three check valves. All
four valves are spring loaded.
11.1.2 The float valve is connected to the hydraulic lines in series with the
rotate and the bucket (tool) cylinder functions.
11.1.3 To activate the float function press and release the button on the
right handle. An indicator light will show that the float is on.
11.1.4 When the float function is activate from the carrier joystick, the
electric solenoid opens the directional valve. This allows the
carriers existing pilot system to open the check valve to the rotate
motors. The rotate motors become a free-flowing recirculating
system. An operator-set flow control provides restriction in the
recirculating and allows the operator to maintain limited control of
the rotate function. The head is basically free to rotate along the
horizontal axis.
11.1.5 When the float is activated, the directional valve also allows pilot oil
to open the two check valves on the bucket cylinder system. One
check valve allows oil from the rod side of the cylinder to recirculate
through a pressure-compensated flow control valve, controls the
speed of the free-fall along the vertical axis.
11.1.6 The second check valve of the bucket cylinder system allows oil
from the return system to join with oil flowing to the piston side. Oil
from the return system replenishes the oil supply to the piston side,
preventing cavitation.
11.2.1 There are two adjustments on the float valve, one for the tool
cylinder and one for the rotate motor. The large cartridge on the top
of the float valve, controls the float speed of the tool cylinder. The
small cartridge on the side of the float valve is for the rotate motor
and should be adjusted the same as the tool cylinder cartridge.

1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of control system! motomit IT is a third generation harvester data
system developed on the sound basis of its predecessors. Combined in it are the latest technology in the
field, top efficiency, reliability and easiness of use. It has been designed in co-operation with both forestry
professionals and harvester manufacturers. We hope that this manual will enable you to get the most out of
the motomit IT system. By reading this manual carefully, you will be able to take advantage of the
superior features of motomit IT.
Safety
motomit IT system is designed to operate in a safe manner and it has many built-in security structures.
To maintain maximum safety, always take care of the following things during the operation and service:
• Installation and start-up of a motomit IT -system should be carried out in co-operation with a
retailer’s service person trained and authorised by Mitron. The operator should also receive training on
how to use the system.
• Whenever you switch the power to motomit IT ON or OFF, make sure there is no-one close to the
harvester.
• Always make sure there is no-one inside the boom / harvester head risk-zone when operating with the
machine.
• Whenever you work on the harvester head, switch the power from motomit IT system OFF.
• Before you weld something on the harvester, unplug all connectors from the harvester head module
MCC and the interface module MCI.
OPERATING MANUAL
08/2007
motomit IT is a four-wire system, based on CAN (Controller Area Network). CAN bus is intended for
demanding applications under heavy interference. Intelligent control functions are distributed between:
These modules are connected to each other by two CAN signals, supply voltage (VCC) and ground (GND)
wires. Voltage wires are doubled to ensure maximum reliability and power capacity. Therefore a CAN
cable from the cabin to the harvester head has 6 wires.
In addition to these three modules there is an interface module MCI (Mitron CAN Interface) which makes
installation in the cab easy and quick. MCT display module controls the MCI module. Supply voltage from
the base machine is connected to the MCI module and distributed again to the other parts of the system.
MCI has pump control signals for the base machine. In addition there are also connectors for a thermal
printer and callipers.
Handle keys and preset keyboards are connected directly to the MCKC module, which transfers the button
signals through the CAN bus to the other modules. Since these modules are compatible with the older ones,
motomit 4 can be upgraded to IT by changing only the display module. In case of motomit PC
model, it is recommended to replace also the MCI module with the new one.
PC model has a separate processing module instead of a display module. Cable to the PC is connected
between the communication ports of the PC and the MCI module of motomit.

SLICE BY SLICE
Volume is measured in 10 cm cylindrical slices. Diameter is the average diameter of a slice on bark. Total
volume is the sum of the slices. Length is the actual cut length.
The volume of a log is measured as a cylinder, diameter being the middle diameter under bark and length
being the nominal length, which is shorter than the cut length. Difference between the nominal length and
the cut length should be made by shifting the cutting window to the positive side, for example from
+120mm to +170mm.

area. In addition there are working time counters / operator / cutting area. These counters can be reset at any
time without affecting to the main production counters. There is a message dialog on the screen that tells the
selected operator and active cutting area. Resetting the cutting area resets work hours and stem and volume
counters from the active cutting area / all operators.
Error codes
Error codes can be printed out to help troubleshooting. Resetting them makes it easier to monitor the most
recent malfunctions.
All
All memory reset should be done always after loading a new cabin program in. As it initializes the new
program for use, it resets all production data and preset programming. All memory reset doesn't change any
other settings, calibrations or preset keys.
7.5 Head module power
It is possible to disconnect the head module and connect it again without need to restart motomit. Connection
time varies a bit depending on the system, but it is much less than the whole system start-up time. Userlevel must be

10 CALIBRATION
Due to the different wood properties, both diameter and length calibrations can be adjusted individually per
species. Feeding and pressure settings affect greatly on measuring accuracy.
It is recommended to take the calibration report once and a while and at least before making any major
changes.
OPERATING MANUAL
08/2007
NOTE! New length calibration will be used for the next stem, not before. Tilt up or press NEW STEM to
get new calibration in use.
Butt correction
If the measuring wheel gives too much pulses due to the soft bark it leads to too short logs. This
problem can be avoided by setting a butt correction. It works only for the first log of the stem where
this normally occours. The correction doesn't change any programmed preset length. Use a wider
measuring wheel, adjust the pressure to the wheel and check the encoder and its wiring and
mounting if there is variation in lengths.

1.1.1 To extend the saw push the Main Saw, trigger on the right handle.
1.1.2 When the Main Saw section on the control valve is shifted, oil supplied to port 5
on the rotary manifold in the 2200 Buncher
1.1.3 From the manifold the oil is delivered to the saw motors, driving the saw
counterclockwise.
1.1.4 The Main Saw oiler is also activated by a pressure signal from the inlet of the
motors.
1.1.5 The sequence valve on the rod side of the cylinders holds the Main Saw in the
home position to allow the outer ring to build RPM. As the RPM increase the
back pressure created by the adjustable flow control, on the return side of the
motors, also increases to a preset pressure. the sequence Valve will then open a
predetermined pressure setting (approx. 300 psi) and the saw will extend.
1.1.6 The higher the pressure set at the sequence Valve, the longer the delay, and the
slower the extending of the saw for the cut.
1.2.1 To retract the saw, release the Main Saw button. The saw timer will start, and stay on for approximately 1.5
seconds. This time is adjustable, depending on saw return speed.
1.2.2 When the Main Saw section on the control valve is shifted, oil is supplied to port 2 on the rotary manifold.
1.2.3 From the rotary manifold the oil goes through the flow control valve, a free
flow check in the sequence valve, then to the rod end of the saw feed
cylinders retracting the Main Saw. The flow controls valve controls saw speed
1.2.4 The oil from the piston side of the cylinder returns to tank through the adjustable flow control
valve. Due to the low volume of oil there is very little pressure developed.
1.2.5 A check valve is installed into the saw manifold to allow oil back into the motor to prevent
cavitation while the saw slows to a stop.
1.3.1 To activate the Grab Arms to open, press the outside rocker switch on the left handle,
upwards.
1.3.2 When the Grab Arms section on the control valve is shifted, oil is supplied to port 4 on
the rotary manifold.
1.3.3 Inside the manifold the oil is split, then is delivered to the rod end of each Grab Arm
cylinder. This will cause the cylinders to retract and the Grab Arms to open.
1.3.4 The oil from the piston side of the cylinders joins together in the manifold. Then return
through port 7 back to the Grab Arms section and to the tank.
1.4.1 To activate the Grab Arms to close, press the outside rocker switch in the left handle,
downward.
1.4.2 When the Grab Arms section on the control valve is shifted, oil is supplied to port 7 on
the rotary manifold.
1.4.3 Inside the manifold the oil is split, is delivered to the piston side of each Grab Arms
cylinder. This will cause the cylinders to extend, and the arms to close.
1.4.4 The oil from the rod end of the cylinders joins together in the manifold, and through port
7, returns to the Grab Arms section and to the tank.
1.5.2 When the Collector Arm section on the control valve is shifted, oil is supplied to port 3
on the rotary manifold.
1.5.3 Inside the manifold the oil is split, then is delivered to the rod side of each Collector Arm
cylinder. This will cause the cylinders to retract and the Collector Arms to open.
1.5.4 The oil from the piston side of the cylinders joins together in the manifold. then returns
through port 6 back to the Collector Arm section and to the tank.
1.6.1 To activate the Collector Arms to close, press the outside rocker switch on the right
handle, downward.
1.6.2 When the Collector Arms section on the control valve is shifted, oil is supplied to port 6
on the rotary manifold.
1.6.3 Inside the manifold the oil is split, then is delivered to the piston side of each Collector
Arm cylinder. This will cause the cylinder to extend, and the arms will close.
1.6.4 The oil from the rod end of the cylinders join together in the manifold, and through port
3, returns to the Collector Arm section and to the tank.
2.1.1 To activate the Grab and Collector Arms to open, press the inside rocker switch on the
left handle, upwards.
2.1.2 This operation includes shifting both the Grab Arm and the Collector Arm sections
together.
2.1.3 Refer to the Grab Arm and the Collector Arms operations as explained earlier.
2.2.1 To activate the Grab and Collector Arms to close, press the inside rocker switch on the
left handle, downwards.
2.2.2 This operation includes shifting both the Grab Arms and the Collector Arms sections
together.
2.2.3 refer to the Grab Arms and the Collector Arms operation as explained earlier.
1.) To rotate the attachment, press the inside rocker switch on the right handle up or down.
2.) When the Rotate section is shifted, oil is supplied to the two or four Rotate Motors,
located on one or both sides of the mounting yoke.
3.) The Rotate Motor use a pinion drive to turn a bearing with an external gear, this is
mounted to the attachment, along with the rotate manifold. These two features allows the
head to rotate 360 degrees continuously.
4.) Each Rotate Motor has two crossover relief cartridges, which are built in to the end cap
of the motor. The reliefs are preset to 3000 psi.
5.) The speed of the rotate can be adjusted on machines that are equipped with flow limiters.
The flow limiter may be apart of the control valve or installed in the hydraulic lines.
1.) The Float system has three pilot-operated check valves. They are operated by an
electrically-operated pilot directional valve. This directional valve supplies pilot flow to
the three check valves. All four valves are spring loaded.
2.) The Float Valve is connected to the hydraulic lines series with the rotate and the Bucket
(tool) cylinder functions.
3.) To activate the Float function press and release the button on the right handle. An
indicator light will show that the Float is on.
4.) When the Float function is activated from the carrier joystick, the electric solenoid opens
the directional valve. This allows the carriers existing pilot system to open the check
valve to the rotate motors. The rotate motors become a free-flowing recirculating system.
An operator-set flow control provides restriction in the recirculating and allows the
operator to maintain limited control of the rotate function. The head is basically free to
rotate along the horizontal axis.
5.) When the Float is activated, the directional valve also allows pilot oil to open the two
check valves on the bucket cylinder system. One check valve allows oil from the rod side
of the cylinder to recirculate through a pressure-compensated flow control valve,
controlling the speed of the free-fall along the vertical axis.
6.) The second check valve of the bucket cylinder system allows oil from the return system
to join with oil flowing to the piston side. Oil from the return system replenishes the oil
supply to the piston side, preventing cavitation.
7.) When the Float Valve is deactivated, the electrically – operated pilot directional valve
closes. The three check valves loose the supply of pilot oil. Spring return the valves to
their normal operating position. The harvester returns to the locked mode of operation.

1.0 CASE DRAIN FILTERS
Quadco Equipment inc. recommends the use of case drain and return filters in all installations. In most
applications the carriers are already equipped with filters. These filters should be serviced regularly. In the
application that would require a case drain filter to be installed, we recommend that the filtration system be
approximately 20 – 25 microns and the flow should be between 7 – 10 GPM. It is also commended that an
indicator light be installed in the cab of the carrier to alert the operator that the filter is restricted and should
be replaced. In case of a system failure a case drain filter, (if properly maintained) will add to the protection
against contamination to the main hydraulic system.
When return lines are plumbed from the QUADCO to the carrier, they must have an unrestricted flow
through the cooler, filters and then to tank. If the return line is to go through the auxiliary valve it must be
unrestricted, either by :
If There are restrictions in the return lines from the QUADCO an unwanted pressure rise will occur in the
system.
