GENERAL
Operation mode S3, also called reversing operation, means that the electric motor and
thus also the pump are operated in clockwise rotary sense as well as anticlockwise
rotary sense, thus influencing the opening and closing motion of the grab.
This grab is equipped with a power-regulated axial piston pump with additional load-
sensing regulator (LS).
The power regulator of the pump is adjusted to the maximum drive motor power
output, i.e. depending on the drive power, the output of the pump is continuously
adjusted to the power output of the drive motor as the operating pressure continues to
increase after having exceeded a certain level. Thus, the hydraulic power, the product
of pump output and pressure, remains constant.
The load-sensing regulator, for short LS regulator, only serves as „min./max.-
regulator“. Via the LS regulator the pump recognizes that:
1. A consumer has been connected and the pump must switch to max.
output,
2. A system pressure preset at the pressure relief valve (DV1 or DV2) has
been reached and the pump has to change down towards "zero-lift regulation", so that
only as much hydraulic fluid is displaced as is necessary for compensating the gap
leakage in pump and system.

Closing procedure:
The oil flows via nonreturn valve R1 and line A into the piston
rod sides KSS of the lifting cylinders. At the same time, the
pilot controlled stop valve SV2 is opened via control line St2.
The oil returning from the piston sides KS can now return to
the tank via SV2, tank line T and filter F.
The maximum pressure in pipe A is controlled by the
pressure relief valve DV1. As soon as the maximum
pressure (preset at DV1) is reached, the output of pump P is
reduced (see paragraph "Power regulation").
When the drive motor is switched off, the nonreturn valves
R1, R2 and the pilot controlled stop valves SV1, SV2 avoid
automatic opening or closing of the grab.

Opening procedure:
The oil flows via the nonreturn valve R2 and pipe B into the
piston sides KS of the lifting cylinders. On extension of the
cylinders, the oil flowing off the piston rod sides KSS via pipe
A then flows via the stop valve SV1 opened by the control line
St1 to pipe B and additionally fills piston side KS (quick-
motion mode). During the opening procedure no oil returns to
the tank.
