Safety dislodged by vibration this smoldering debris can fall into other areas of the machine and thereby spread a fire.

FIRE PREVENTION

5. Clean out all accumulated forest debris (twigs, pine needles, branches, bark, leaves, saw dust, small wood chips) and any other combustible materials from inside the machine belly pans or lower machine structures as well as from areas in proximity to the engine, fuel and hydraulic oil systems no less frequently than at the completion of each work shift.

When working in a forest environment, it is impossible to prevent combustible debris from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This debris, in itself, may cause a fire; however, when mixed with fuel, oil or grease in a hot or confined place, the danger of fire is greatly increased.

6. Clean up any grease, diesel fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oil accumulation and spillage immediately.

7. Steam clean the engine, transmission, brake, fuel and hydraulic tank compartments of all equipment at least once a month or more frequently depending on logging conditions.

The following fire prevention guidelines should be used to supplement the operator s fire prevention efforts. In no case should the guidelines be used, or assumed, as replacements for diligent operator efforts at preventing fires.

8. Be cautious when smoking. An open flame, a lighted cigarette, etc., should not be permitted around any vehicle, especially during fuelling operations and/or when the fuel system is open to the atmosphere, and/or when servicing batteries.

The following guidelines will help to keep your equipment up and running efficiently and keep the risk of fire damage to a minimum.

1. Maintain a CHARGED fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

9. Shut down equipment immediately when a problem is suspected or smoke is detected.

2. Inspect the machine for any signs of fuel or hydraulic system leakage and check for worn or eroded fuel or hydraulic lines before starting up any equipment.

10. Park the machine at least 50 feet away from other equipment at the end of each shift.

3. Remove debris and blow out dust regularly from the air intake doors, engine radiator, hydraulic oil cooler and A/C condenser core to prevent overheating of the engine and hydraulics. Refer to CLEANING A/C CONDENSER, OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR S MANUAL.

12. Remain with the machine for at least 45 minutes at the end of operations while the machine cools.

11. Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF at shut down to avoid loss by electrical short.

13. Once a fire has started on a machine hoses will quickly burn through causing pressurized fluids (diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, etc.) to fuel the fire. NEVER leave the machine parked with booms or arches suspended off the ground, as they will inject hydraulic oil into the fire if a supporting hose burns through.

4. Blow off all debris and dust accumulated near hot engine exhaust components (turbocharger and exhaust manifold as well as exhaust pipes and muffler) at the completion of each work shift or more frequently depending on logging conditions.

Visual inspection after blow off to ensure thorough cleanliness is vital. Engine exhaust systems provide numerous small pockets where saw dust, small wood chips and other flammable forest debris can gather. Even small accumulations close to hot exhaust components can ignite and smolder. If

14. Remove all keys, lock equipment and fuel cap at the end of operations to reduce the risk of vandalism.

15. Before starting repair work, such as welding, the surrounding area should be cleaned and a fire extinguisher should be close by.

16. Use only nonflammable solutions for cleaning the machine or components.

Safety WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A MACHINE FIRE

FIRE PREVENTION continued

17. Store rags and other combustible materials in a safe, fireproof location.

At all times ensure your own personal safety and the safety of anyone that may be in the area. Approach any fire with extreme caution.

18. Do not use the machine on top of or to push piles of burning timber. A machine fire will result.

If the machine is in a dangerous position, attempt to move to a safe position. Lower working attachment to the ground.

Shut the engine off.

Activate the fire suppression system*

Radio or call for help (as appropriate).

Exit the machine taking fire extinguisher or water hose (if applicable) with you.

If you can safely open the access panels to the machine, in the area of the fire, do so.

If you can safely do so, attempt to extinguish the fire.

EQUIPMENT FIRES ADVERSELY EFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO LOG, MAY INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS DRAMATICALLY OR PREVENT YOU FROM OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE AT ALL. WHAT ELSE TO DO BEFORE YOU EXPERIENCE A FIRE

Ensure that you are familiar with emergency procedure in the event of a fire.

Ensure that your fire suppression system* is charged and functional.

A dry chemical fire extinguisher should be used first, if available.

Use the PASS method with most extinguishers.

Ensure that any hand held fire extinguishers are charged and functional.

Ensure that any stored water systems on the machine are charged and functional.

Ensure that the nozzle of any hand held extinguishers available at the work site fits within the access holes in the doors of the machine.

Ensure that you have the proper fire extinguishers on site. Most fires involving mobile equipment will be of the A or B type.

You should have a dry chemical extinguisher rated ABC and a pressurized water extinguisher rated A.

Prevent the fire from happening by ensuring that the machine is cleaned regularly and all systems are well maintained.

Pull the pin. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.

Aim at the base of the fire. If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.

Squeeze the top handle or lever. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher.

Sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.

DRIVER MEMORIES

ADJUSTING THE PARAMETERS OF DRIVERS

The PVC system has five sets of Driver Memories . Driver 0 is a factory preset, therefore, changes made to this driver are NOT saved. Drivers 1 through 4 are programmable.

This allows up to four operators to individually customize, and store function settings to suit their preferences. The operator may adjust minimum and maximum currents, fine control, and ramping times for all functions controlled by the proportional valves. Functions controlled by proportional valves are cab rotate, steering, snow blade (if equipped), all grapple functions, and all crane functions.

NOTE: The pilot reset system must be on to adjust driver parameters.

Proceed as follows to adjust the parameters of a driver.

1. Select the active driver, refer to T220 DRIVER MEMORIES - SELECTING AN ACTIVE DRIVER in THIS SECTION. 2.

4. Press ENTER to confirm the selection. The words COPYING WAIT appear in the display window as the copying process proceeds. When the operation is finished, the active driver has the same settings as the originating driver.

Press this key to allow adjustment of the maximum current being delivered for the function. Increasing the maximum current to a function increases the function's top speed, and decreasing this value decreases the function's top speed. To extend solenoid and valve life the maximum current settings are limited by the PVC.

5. These settings can now be adjusted if desired.

9. Save settings by pressing ENTER and then repeat steps 3 through 9 for other functions.

10. When adjustments are complete, press this key 5 to leave the settings mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The position of the STEER/DRIVE switch determines which set of programmed logic the computer system follows. Each set of logic (ie: NORMAL or REVERSE) has its own set of parameters, and needs to be modified separately (if desired).

For example, to modify the CAB ROTATE CLOCKWISE function, first complete steps 2 through 9 with the STEER/DRIVE switch in the NORMAL position, changing the parameters as needed. Then repeat the process completing steps 2 through 9 with the STEER/DRIVE switch in the REVERSE position.

To reduce dust in the cab area, use the FRESH AIR option with the A/C on. This pressurizes the cab, forcing dust out and reducing dust coming in.

The FRESH AIR filter is accessible from outside of the cab, at the back between the lights. It should be cleaned or replaced every 125 hours. This is done by removing 6 bolts (M10) and removing the air inlet cover. Next remove two nuts (M10) and remove the filter box cover. This will allow access to the filter.

Air in the cab is drawn into the A/C-HEATER unit via this filter and recirculated. The filter is located on the front face of the A/C unit towards the left hand side. It should be cleaned or replaced every 125 hours. This is done by removing two thumb screws in the filter box cover.

HOT WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE

6. HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE (ENGINE) During times when cab heating is not required the HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE, on the heater hose from the engine, can be closed to prevent hot water from seeping through the A/C unit, thereby reducing the cooling system effect.

Additional Note: For machines equipped with the optional ESPAR HEATER option it is recommended that the inline fuse be removed from the ESPAR circuit when the HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE is closed. This eliminates the risk of damage to the heater caused by accidental programming of the ESPAR HEATER to operate when the coolant supply is shut off.

Controls and operation

PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION RIDES TOO STIFF/SEAT TENDS TO PUSH OR THROW OPERATOR FORWARD The ride adjustment has been inflated too high.

Pull out the ride adjustment switch letting some air out of the bladder. This typically happens because the operator is trying to use additional ride adjustment switch rather than the height adjustment lever to raise the seat. Operator is riding the seat in the low height position setting.

Refer to height adjustment.

RIDES TOO SOFT OR BOTTOMS OUT AND PINCHES OPERATOR The seat ride adjustment has not been inflated enough. Insufficient ride adjustment exaggerates the knee-action movement of the seat. This usually happens because the operator is trying to lower the seat by decreasing the amount of ride adjustment instead of using the Height Adjustment lever. Refer to height adjustment.

SEAT TOO HIGH/SEAT TOO LOW There are several issues which can cause improper seat height. Refer to the HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT and adjust seat to the desired position. If the proper height cannot be reached using one of the four height adjustment settings, it may be necessary to install the seat on a higher base.

OPERATOR S LEGS FALLING ASLEEP The seat is adjusted too high, and the ride adjustment has not been inflated enough, resulting in the operator sitting in a bucket .

LOADING / UNLOADING OPERATIONS:

Place the crane in the park position and raise the snow blade (if equipped).

Crane and grapple operations should always be performed while seated in the operator s seat.

1. Set the CRANE/OFF/SNOW BLADE switch to OFF this will prevent an accidental movement of the crane or snow blade.

All crane and grapple controls will return to neutral automatically when released.

2. Set the FWD.|PARK|REV. switch to FWD or REV. Set the STEER/DRIVE switch FORWARD or REVERSE setting as required.

Refer to FWD.|PARK|REV. SWITCH and STEER/DRIVE SWITCH in THIS SECTION.

1. Once the machine has been positioned near the loading/unloading site, set the FWD.|PARK|REV. switch to PARK. 2. Rotate the cab (if needed) to get full view of the loading/unloading operation.

3. Check the position of the TRAVEL SPEED rotary dial. NOTE: If this rotary dial is turned fully counter clockwise, the machine will be unable to move forward/backward.

3. Set the CRANE/OFF/SNOW BLADE switch to CRANE ON position.

4. Switch WORKING RPM switch to ON position.

Using the TRAVEL SPEED rotary dial the operator is able to set the maximum speed of the machine. This allows the operator to maintain any desired drive speed with full drive pedal operation. Machine speed reduction can still be achieved by not fully depressing the foot pedal.

5. Increase throttle control to 1350-1500 RPM using ENGINE WORKING RPM dial.

6. Operate crane, rotator, and grapple functions to pick up the load, and place it where desired. Refer to LEFT MINI JOYSTICK and RIGHT MINI JOYSTICK instructions in THIS SECTION for specific information on crane, rotator, and grapple operating controls. Note that it is most suitable, for balance purposes to grip logs near the middle.

Turn the TRAVEL SPEED rotary dial clockwise to increase the maximum travel speed. Turn the rotary dial counter clockwise to decrease the maximum travel speed. This rotary dial can be used while the machine is in motion.

A) If the logs loaded in the bunk are accumulating to the top of the load gate extend the load gate by pressing the GATE switch to the UP position. Refer to GATE DOWN/UP in THIS SECTION.

4. Operate the drive foot pedal to move the machine.

5. This machine is equipped with a single-axis proportional steering control lever. The speed that the vehicle responds to the steering control lever input will vary, depending on the distance that the steering control lever is moved. When operating on the road, a short movement of the steering control lever will not overcorrect and will steer a reasonably straight course. Operating in the woods requires quick steering changes and this is produced by a larger movement of the steering control lever, which will quickly change the vehicle's direction.

B) If the logs are dispersing to the lower portion of the bunks, be sure to retract the load gate by pressing the GATE switch to the DOWN position. This reduces the risk of damage caused by contact between the crane and the load gate. Refer to GATE DOWN/UP in THIS SECTION. 7. A) When loading is complete, park the crane on top of the load in such a way that the load restricts the crane from moving side to side.

6. Use differential locks sparingly and ONLY when additional traction is required. Never continuously drive the machine with the differential locks on. Serious damage to the axles can result from using the differential locks when they are not needed for additional traction.

B) When unloading is complete, return the crane in the park position.

8. Set the CRANE/OFF/SNOW BLADE switch to OFF position.

9. Switch WORKING RPM switch to OFF position.

CLEANING A/C CONDENSER, OIL COOLER, RADIATOR AND CHARGE AIR COOLER

CAUTION If using compressed air for cleaning, use at 30psi or less.

Always use personal protective equipment to guard against flying debris.

The A/C condenser core is located at the front of the machine and is mounted directly in front of the oil cooler, radiator and charge air cooler. The fan draws air from the front of the machine through the hood screen, the A/C condenser, the oil cooler, the engine radiator, and the charge air cooler blowing it out on either side of the engine.

The A/C condenser core, oil cooler, engine radiator and charge air cooler should be manually checked every 8 hours (every shift) for accumulation of twigs, leaves, pine needles and dust.

PROCEDURE: 1. Open the hood. Refer to HOOD in THIS SECTION. 2. The A/C condenser swings down to access the back-side of the condenser and the front of the oil cooler, radiation and charge air cooler for cleaning. It is held in place by two wingnuts while the machine is operating.

This cooling assembly must be checked daily for debris and may have to be thoroughly cleaned on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on operating conditions. Compressed air or water may be used for cleaning. If an oil leak has occurred in this area it should be thoroughly power-washed with a mild soap to ensure that all of the oil is removed. The presence of oil will cause dust and dirt to cling to surfaces impairing the reversible fan s ability to remove dust and dirt particles. Care must be taken when cleaning this assembly, as the components can be damaged by careless handling and cleaning.

The hydraulic engine fan has a clean function for use in cleaning debris from the oil cooler, radiator and charge air cooler, A/C condenser and hood screens during operation. By reversing the flow of the fan, air flow is propelled in the opposite direction, thereby forcing dust and debris off the oil cooler, radiator, charge air cooler, A/C condenser and hood screens. Ensure that there are no personnel standing directly in front of the machine when performing this operation, as dust and debris will fly out. Refer to FAN CONTROL in THIS SECTION for more information.

TOWING INSTRUCTIONS

STEERING CYLINDERS

STEERING CYLINDERS

CAUTION Before towing, the transmission must always be disconnected from the drive wheels.

Never tow a machine in gear. If the machine is subjected to hard pulling while in gear, the extremely high forces created will cause significant damage to the components of the hydrostatic drive system and the transmission.

Never tow the machine at over 2 mph.

SM47

NORMAL HOSE CONNECTIONS

HOSES ON ONE CYLINDER CROSS CONNECTED FOR TOWING

3. To allow the machine to steer while towing and prevent damage to the steering cylinders, cross the hydraulic hoses on one of the steering cylinders. This allows trapped oil to flow freely between the two steering cylinders, providing ease of turning with some dampening effect.

A malfunction of the machine may make towing necessary.

Towing is only recommended over short distances. It is always better to make repairs at the point where the machine is parked whenever possible.

4. The machine must be towed from the front, making use of the towing lugs at front of machine.

Prior to towing, be sure that the machine is either on level ground, or is secured by the tow vehicle to prevent the machine from rolling unexpectedly.

Ensure a vehicle of equal power and size is used for towing.

1. To facilitate towing, the axle differentials must be disconnected from wheels.

When going downhill, be sure to use a holdback vehicle as the machine is now without any effective braking.

To disconnect the differentials for both the front and rear axles:

5. When towing is completed, reconnect steering cylinder hoses in proper location.

a) Carefully remove the bearing cap and o-ring from the side of the bogie housing.

6. Re-connect the rear axle differential. Note that care should be taken to make sure that all drive shafts are clean and free of debris before reinstallation.

b) Remove the snap ring. c) Remove the bolt, washer and o-ring from the end of the shaft.

a) The right hand shaft must be installed first. Note that this shaft has 4 splined sections. (as opposed to the 3 splined sections on the opposite shaft)

d) Install a longer bolt into the end of the shaft, and pull on this bolt to slide shaft outwards. Care should be taken to protect the shaft from dust, debris and damage during towing.

b) Remove the differential alignment plug from the differential. Refer to illustration for location of hole.

e) Once the shaft is removed, re-install the bearing cap and o-ring to prevent debris front entering the bogie housing.

c) Remove the alignment screw from its storage location, and install it into the port from which the plug was just removed.

IMPORTANT HYDRAULIC FILTER SERVICING GUIDELINES NEVER PRE-FILL ANY HYDRAULIC FILTERS ON 200, 700, 800 AND 1000 SERIES MACHINES NEVER PRE-FILL CHARGE PRESSURE FILTERS ON 600 SERIES SKIDDERS Tigercat generally does not recommend the pre-filling of spin-on filters due to the risk of damage to the hydraulic system caused by unfiltered oil. Unfiltered oil used to pre-fill filters enters directly into the hydraulic circuit.

Contaminants in unfiltered oil can cause significant and costly damage to hydraulic valves, pumps and motors. The cleanliness of hydraulic oil cannot be guaranteed unless it is always prefiltered before use.

ALWAYS PRE-FILL DUAL HEAD HYDRAULIC FILTERS ON 600 SERIES SKIDDERS Dual head hydraulic filters on 600 series skidders must always be pre-filled with clean oil as noted specifically in the manuals for each of these machines.

All 600 series hydraulic circuits direct oil from the dual head filters to the main and drive pump inlets. Air must not be allowed to enter the inlets of these pumps. Entry of air directly into pump inlets can cause significant and costly damage to pumps. In this particular case the risk of damage to pumps caused by entry of air into the circuit is considered to be greater than the risk of damage caused by unfiltered oil.

Prefiltering of any hydraulic oil used to pre-fill these filters is strongly recommended to eliminate the risk of damage caused by unfiltered oil.

1. Park machine on level ground, install articulation lock bar, lower the snow blade (if equipped) and place the crane in the park position, stop engine, remove key, then switch battery disconnect off, and block wheels.

The air cleaner on this machine uses two filter elements, a primary element and a safety element accessible from the left side of the engine compartment.

To ensure maximum engine protection, it is important that the elements be serviced correctly and at proper servicing intervals.

A warning light on the cab instrument panel will come ON when the elements in the engine air cleaner become excessively clogged with dust causing air intake restriction.

In addition, a filter restriction indicator is mounted to the output side of the filter, this should show green when the engine is running at high RPM. Service is required if the indicator shows red.

Tigercat 1018 Forwarder

Lubrication and Maintenance

This valve should be replaced every 1000 hours. Remove the unloader valve from the tube of the air cleaner housing. Check and clean the valve. A good valve should be soft and flexible.

If it is plugged, be sure to check the filter elements as they may need replacing as well.

Reattach the valve to the tube.

When operating in high dust conditions, the unloader valve should be checked and squeezed every 2 hours to release dust buildup.

In addition to the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, the following instructions should also be noted.

The most common and damaging servicing problems are:

•

SAFETY ELEMENT

ENGINE AIR PRECLEANER

Engine exposure to dust during servicing is the largest single reason for engine damage due to dust.

Abrasive dust can easily enter the intake system once the air cleaner cover and protective filter element is removed for replacement. The safety element does reduce this risk but it should also be replaced at every third primary element change.

IMPORTANT STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN CHANGING FILTER ELEMENTS 1. Release the cover latch gently to reduce the amount of dust dislodged.

2. Avoid dislodging dust from filter element(s) by gently pulling the element off the outlet tube.

3. Always clean the sealing surface of the outlet tube before inserting a new filter element.

PRIMARY ELEMENT

•

IMPROPER SERVICING

•

4. Always clean the inside of the outlet tube and filter housing.

5. Check your old filter, It can help you detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing leakage.

NOTE: Filter elements should never be cleaned and reused. Cleaning causes dust to bypass the filter and be deposited on the inner surface of the filter media. The dust is then drawn directly into the engine.

OUTLET TUBE 1018-D068

AIR FILTER ELEMENTS

OVER SERVICING Filter elements increase in dust cleaning efficiency as dust builds up on the media. Looks can be deceiving. A filter that looks dirty is actually more efficient than one that is clean. A filter with dust build up on the media reaches nearly 100% dust cleaning efficiency. Only when a filter is so clogged with dirt that air restriction goes beyond engine manufacturer s guidelines, should a filter be replaced.

6. Inspect the new filter for damage.

7. Insert the new filter properly. Apply pressure to the outer rim of the filter not the flexible centre.

8. Check connections and ducts for air tight fit.

Ensure that all clamps, bolts and connections are tight. Check rubber elbows for splits or wear points. Leaks here send dust directly to the engine.

NOTE: This does not apply to oil filters.

CHECKING THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

IMPORTANT

Any service work must be performed by authorized A/C technicians. The system should be charged with R134a refrigerant only. PAG (polyalkeylene glycol) oil should be present in the system and must be used on O ring fittings during assembly.

A/C SYSTEM TOTAL CAPACITIES PAG OIL R134a REFRIGERANT (polyalkylene glycol) 3 LBS. 12 OZ.

It is recommended that during cold weather when the A/C system is not in use, that it be run for a period of 5 minutes every 2 weeks.

This will circulate oil to all components of the A/C system.

CAUTION If using compressed air for cleaning, use at 30 psi or less.

HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE During times when cab heating is not required the HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE, on the heater hose from the engine, can be closed to prevent hot water from seeping through the A/C unit, thereby reducing the cooling system effect.

Additional Note: For machines equipped with the optional ESPAR HEATER option it is recommended that the inline fuse be removed from the ESPAR circuit when the HOT WATER SHUT OFF VALVE is closed. This eliminates the risk of damage to the heater caused by accidental programming of the ESPAR HEATER to operate when the coolant supply is shut off.

When the control switch is in the FRESH AIR position , outside air is drawn into the cab air conditioning unit through this filter and mixed with interior air from the cab. To reduce dust in the cab area, use the FRESH AIR option with the A/C on.

This pressurizes the cab, forcing dust out and reducing dust coming in. The FRESH AIR filter is accessible from outside of the cab, at the back between the lights. It should be cleaned or replaced every 125 hours. This is done by removing 6 bolts (M10) and removing the air inlet cover. Next remove two nuts (M10) and remove the filter box cover. This will allow access to the filter.

Lubrication and Maintenance

AXLE LUBRICATION Each bogie axle has three separate oil reservoirs that require individual draining/filling. The axle must be level when draining/filling lubricant. The scheduled time to perform an oil change in the axles is when doing the seasonal hydraulic oil change. Refill the axle differentials and bogie housings with SAE 90/GL 5 gear oil.

DRAINING AND REFILLING DIFFERENTIAL: (1 PER AXLE) 1. Park machine on level ground, install articulation lock bar, lower the snow blade (if equipped) and place the crane in the park position, stop engine, remove key, then switch battery disconnect off, and block wheels.

7. Replace the differential housing drain plug (1).

8. Refill the differential by pumping oil into the fill/ level plug (3) on the differential. Stop adding oil when the oil level reaches the bottom of the differential level fill/level plug (3).

9. Replace the differential fill/level plug (3).

2. The axle must be level in order to drain and refill it properly.

3. Clean around all fill, level and drain plugs before removing them.

4. Remove the differential fill/level plug (3) located opposite the input yoke on the differential housing.

5. Remove the differential housing drain plug (1) located on the bottom of the differential, and drain the oil into a suitable container for disposal.

FAN DRIVE PUMP BOLT LOCATION

1. Park the machine on level ground. Place the crane in the park position, and lower the snow blade (if equipped) and turn engine off.

14. Replace the bogie housing drain plugs (2) in all locations.

15. Refill the bogie housings by pumping oil into the fill plug (5) on the bogie housings. Stop adding oil when the oil level reaches the bottom of the bogie housing level plug (4).

Note, each of the bogie housings must be filled separately.

2. Remove the A/C compressor belt (if equipped).

3. Remove the fasteners that hold the pump drive coupler together (8 bolts - 1/4"). Note the engine will have to be jogged to access all of the bolts.

16. Replace the bogie housing level plugs (4).

4. Carefully slide the black rubber section of the coupler towards the fan pump. This will provide enough clearance to replace the serpentine belt.

17. Replace the bogie housing fill plugs (5).

CAPACITIES For front and rear axle oil fill capacities, refer to the table: SERVICE AND LUBRICATION in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL.

5. Replace the serpentine belt. Ensure that all of the ribs on the serpentine belt align with the grooves on the engine pulleys.

6. Reassemble the pump drive coupler, using the original bolts. Use loctite 242 (temporary) or equivalent. Torque all bolts to 8-10 lbf-ft using an opposing torque pattern.

7. Reinstall, align and tension the A/C compressor belt (if equipped).

Lubrication and Maintenance LINK SNUBBER MAINTENANCE

CRANE, ROTATOR AND GRAPPLE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT

Refer to the manufacturer s maintenance and service manual for information on your crane, rotator and grapple.

All service points on snubber must be greased every shift (8 hours) to ensure a long service life.

CRANE LUBRICATION PROCEDURE

EARLIER MACHINES This model of link provides a snubbing action in one direction (side to side movement of the grapple). There are 6 grease fittings on the link, for daily lubrication of the sleeves, bushings and housings.

NOTE: This procedure will allow grease to flow to the normally 'loaded' side of the pin/bearing surfaces.

LATER MACHINES This model of link provides snubbing action in both directions. There are 8 grease fittings on the link, for daily lubrication of the sleeves, bushings and housings.

1. Fully extend booms and place opened grapple on the ground.

2. Slightly force grapple into ground but do not lift machine.

3. While in this position, lubricate all cylinder retaining pins and joints daily.

LINK SNUBBER MAINTENANCE (EARLIER MODEL SHOWN) ADJUSTING SNUBBER TENSION 1018-D079

Tension is adjusted by turning the adjusting bolts.

Turn the adjusting bolts only 1/2 turn at a time until the desired tension is achieved. Over-tightening may result in grapple stiffness and reduced friction sleeve life.
