SAFETY
Safety notices in NPK Instruction Manuals follow ISO and ANSI standards for
safety warnings:
DANGER (red) notices indicate an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING (orange) notices indicate a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION (yellow) notices indicate a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
ATTENTION (blue) notices in NPK Instruction Manuals are
an NPK standard to alert the reader to situations which, if not avoided, could result in
equipment damage.
WARNING FALLING OR FLYING DEBRIS decals are
included with each NPK Demolition Grab Attachment. The
decal (part number H100-7210) must be installed in the cab,
visible to the operator.

SAFETY
OPERATION
1. Operator personnel must read and understand the NPK INSTRUCTION MANUAL
to prevent serious or fatal injury.
2. FLYING OR FALLING DEBRIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
Keep personnel and bystanders clear of the DEMOLITION GRAB while in
operation.
3. Do not operate DEMOLITION GRAB without an
impact resistant shield between the DEMOLITION
GRAB and operator. Operate with extreme caution
near walls or columns that may collapse and near
concrete debris that may fall.
4. Operate the DEMOLITION GRAB from the
operator’s seat only.
5. Use two people whenever operator visibility is
limited, one to operate the DEMOLITION GRAB,
the other to guide operations.
6. Do not leave a load suspended in air.
7. Do not pass a load over people, vehicles, etc.
8. Do not operate the DEMOLITION GRAB within
reach of power lines.
9. Do not climb, sit, or ride on the DEMOLITION
GRAB.
10. Match the DEMOLITION GRAB size to excavator according to NPK
recommendations, see page 7. The excavator must be stable during DEMOLITION
GRAB operation and during transport.
11. Do not operate without inspection (access) covers in place.
12. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT!
Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns!
13. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping high
pressure fluid can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately!
Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed immediately
or gangrene may result!
14. Make daily visual inspections of all fasteners, boom pins, hoses, etc.
15. When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips.

SAFETY
MAINTENANCE
1. Use only NPK supplied replacement parts. NPK specifically disclaims any
responsibility for bodily injury or DEMOLITION GRAB damage that results from the
use of parts not sold or approved by NPK.
2. Use extreme caution in handling. A fully assembled DEMOLITION GRAB can
weigh over 2 tons. Sub-assemblies range in weight from hundreds to thousands of
pounds. To avoid bodily harm, use lifting and securing mechanisms of adequate
capacity to support loads. Seek the aid of an assistant as much as possible, and
always when handling heavier sub-assemblies.
3. The supplied safety bar (t79) MUST always be installed during transport, repairs,
dismounting and mounting to the carrier, changing the cutters and all other routines
at the attachment (GZ).
4. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing when working on the DEMOLITION
GRAB. Wear thermal-protective gloves when handling heated parts.
5. Prevent exposure to hazardous fumes. Remove all paint, grease, and oil before
heating, cutting or welding on the DEMOLITION GRAB.
6. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT!
Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns!
7. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately!
Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
8. When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips.

SAFETY
MAINTENANCE
STANDARD PRACTICES
Maintenance of and repairs to the DEMOLITION GRAB should be performed by an
experienced service technician, thoroughly familiar with all standard practices and
procedures, and most importantly, all safety precautions. The following is a review of
common standard practices to be followed when working with hydraulic equipment, and
is not meant to be all-inclusive. Rather, this review is presented as a reminder as to
some of the unique characteristics of hydraulic equipment.
The prevention of foreign contaminant damage is critical when working with
hydraulic equipment. Protect exposed holes and parts to guard against entry of
contaminants. Install metal or plastic plugs/caps where applicable to prevent entry
of debris into the hydraulic system.
Mark the location and position of mating parts as an aid to re-assembly. Mark
corresponding parts uniquely to reflect their relationship, including proper location,
position, orientation, and/or alignment.
DO:
During assembly, observe all markings made during disassembly, and all
corresponding features of mating parts to ensure proper location, position,
orientation, and alignment.
During disassembly of a sub-assembly, place removed components on a clean, dry
surface, in proper relative position as an aid in re-assembly.
Always inspect threaded areas on components. Repair or replace as required.
Never apply uncured thread adhesive to a fastener that has cured adhesive on it.
Clean the fastener and the threaded bore. A tap and die may be helpful for this task.
Be sure to remove loose debris from the threaded bore.
Use care to avoid scratches, nicks, dents, or other damage to machined surfaces of
mating components.
When securing a component, always tighten cap screws gradually in an opposing
pattern, applying the specified torque.
Grease can be used to temporarily hold a part in place while the abutting part is
placed into position.
Always use common sense and exercise standard safety precautions when working
with all tools and equipment required to maintain, repair or troubleshoot the
DEMOLITION GRAB.

HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
NPK Hydraulic Installation Kits are available for virtually all compatible excavator
models. The kits include all parts and complete instructions for the hydraulic
installation, including valving and/or controls, hoses and fittings, boom and stick tubing,
and clamps.
See your NPK dealer for details or call NPK at 1-800-225-4379.
HYDRAULIC LINES
Typically, the pressure line to close is arranged on the left side of the boom and the
open line is on the right side.
SHUT-OFF VALVES
Most NPK Hydraulic Installation Kits use two shut-off valves (k4) on the dipper stick (k1)
of the carrier. These valves control the hydraulic oil going to the close side (m3) and
the open side (m4) from the Demo Grab attachment.
Pressure test ports (k8) are located in the shut-off valves. Each shut-off valve has an
“ON” (k5) and an “OFF” (k6) position.
