How to install on telehandler

When using a rotating telehandler with only one double hydraulic function, a 6/2 valve should be installed on the jib. A different special valve has to be installed on this valve (these valves are not supplied as standard), which will generate the second double hydraulic function. An electric signal will take care of the controls for the second double function that is being created: the rotation of the grapple.

Please contact us directly if you have questions on installing the drain valve or 6/2-valve.
