STANDARDS FOR MACHINE OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES.....................................................vii

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

Introduction

STANDARDS FOR MACHINE OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES THE OPERATOR ENCLOSURE FOR THIS MACHINE MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: • ISO 8082-2:2011 ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS) • OREGON OSHA 437-007-0775:14A TIP-OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (TOPS) • ISO 8083:1989 11 600J FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS) • ISO 8084:1993 OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS) • ISO 2867:1994 • SAE J1356: FEB 1988 • OREGON OSHA 437-007-0775:14B,C • AS 4988 2002

MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS The integrity of the ROPS, TOPS, FOPS, OPS structure and its continued ability to provide the level of protection it was designed for could be seriously affected by any modifications to the structure, its mounting or to the chassis to which it is attached.

Tigercat emphasizes that the certification of approval of the ROPS, TOPS, FOPS, OPS structure will become void if any such modifications take place.

Tigercat may officially grant approval for modifications only by: • Written approval of repairs or modifications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or • Approved modifications officially released by Tigercat.

Both of the above are provided that the work is carried out in the factory approved manner.

Unauthorized modifications and/or repairs made or contributed to by a customer or a Tigercat distributor may result in creating a dangerous situation and therefore the customer or Tigercat distributor will be considered to have assumed the risk involved or be negligent in creating this situation.

Tigercat will not be held responsible for situations arising from having created unauthorized modifications/changes to the structure.

Operator cabs are designed to ROPS, TOPS, FOPS, OPS standards so that they will withstand force and absorb energy during a roll over (ROPS), tip-over (TOPS), when resisting the impact of a falling object (FOPS) and minimize the possibility of operator injury from penetrating objects (OPS). When a permanent deflection of the structure occurs, the structure can no longer provide the original designed level of protection and should be replaced. Attempts to straighten the structure, particularly by the application of heat, can reduce still further the structures remaining capability to protect.

The mounting and the frame or chassis to which the cab is attached is considered an integral part of the ROPS, TOPS, FOPS, OPS and is included in the design, test and certification of the product.

Contact the Tigercat Service department before attempting any modifications or repair to tip-over protective structures.

Safety

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

SAFETY HAZARDS – VITON SEALS O-rings and other seals manufactured of Viton material (fluorine rubber) produce a highly corrosive acid (Hydrofluoric) when subjected to temperatures above 315°C (600°F).

This contamination can have extreme consequences on human tissue since it is almost impossible to remove after contact.

The following procedures are recommended when inspecting equipment subjected to high temperatures such as fire: • Visually inspect any seals or gaskets which have suffered from heat; they will appear black and sticky.

• If these are found, do not touch!

• Determine the material composition of any seals or gaskets. If fluoro-elastomer seals (Viton, fluorel, or tecmoflon) have been used, the affected area must be decontaminated before undertaking further work. Natural rubber and nitrile materials are not hazardous.

• Disposable heavy duty gloves (neoprene) must be worn and the affected area decontaminated by washing thoroughly with limewater (Calcium Hydroxide solution).

• Any soiled rags and gloves must be safely discarded after use.

NOTE: Burning discarded items is not recommended except in an approved incineration process where the dangerous products are treated by alkaline scrubbing.

Safety

SAFETY HAZARDS – OPERATING Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the machine at all times. Know how to use it.

Do not carry passengers in the cab or anywhere on the machine. The vehicle is provided with approved seating for the operator only.

Do not allow anyone to operate the machine who may not be physically fit or who may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

When moving the machine, watch to ensure enough clearance is available on both sides and above the machine or any of its attachments. Extra clearance may be required particularly where the ground is uneven.

Be aware when performing service and maintenance tasks that surfaces and grab handles in and around the engine and cooling system may become very hot when the engine has been running. Contact with hot surfaces may cause injury.

Comply with instructions in this manual and also your company’s regulations for the operation of this machine.

Read, understand and follow all general safety precautions specified by attachment manufacturer.

WARNING Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING Approach with extreme caution any area where overhanging electrical power lines are present. Serious injury or death by electrocution can result if the machine or any of its attachments are not kept a safe distance from these lines.

Maintain a minimum distance of 3 m (10 ft) between the machine, including the boom or attachment, and any power line carrying up to 50,000 V. Add 1.5 m (5 ft) for each 150,000 V increment beyond 50,000 V. For example, if a power line carries 350,000 V, keep back at least 6 m (20 ft).

If State/Provincial, local or job site regulations require even greater safety distances than stated above, adhere strictly to these regulations for your own protection.

If the machine must be transported, make sure it is adequately secured to the transporting vehicle.

Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and premature wear of the engine components. Reduce engine speed to low speed and let run for approximately five minutes to allow gradual dissipation of heat and also to reduce turbo speed. This will also prevent loss of coolant by after boil and possible hot spot damage to the engine.

1.7

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

This machine is designed to travel in rugged terrain.

However, ground conditions vary greatly according to soil type, slope, moisture level, temperature, season, geology, and vegetation. When yarding operation is performing, the machine must be parked on a prepared surface with a maximum slope being less than 10%.

The machine may not be suitable for some ground conditions. Use caution when assessing the terrain in the prepared work area.

Observe the following approaches to minimize the risk of tipping: • When traveling on slopes, travel straight up or straight down the slope to prevent tipping. Do not travel on slopes greater than 20%.

• Do not travel across a steep slope or hillside.

• Be prepared to the drop the load in case of emergency.

• Do not overload the attachment.

Equipped on the 180 Swing Yarder is a dozer blade intended to further minimize the risk of tipping. With the blade lowered onto a prepared surface (preferably partially placed in the ground), the machine may be operated without guylines present.

Equipped with the machine is a stability system that detects when the lines pulls have exceeded the stability limits. This allows the boom to lower and reduce risk of tipping the machine.

The 180 Swing Yarder may be equipped with an optional guyline system where loading and conditions require extra stability.

1.13

Before transporting the machine, secure it properly to the transporting vehicle. Obey all local traffic and road regulations and laws.

Secure any tools or other loose items inside the cab or upper enclosure before transporting the machine. Verify that all doors, panels, and access covers are properly installed and secured. Improperly secured doors or panels pose a serious danger to pedestrians and other vehicles.

Plan the transportation route ahead of time. Check for sufficient clearance on both sides and above the machine or any attachments to avoid contact with power lines, bridges, and other structures.

FLUID INJECTION INJURY

Never use your bare hand to check for fluid leaks.

WARNING

WARNING Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and could result in serious injury or death. If any fluid is injected under the skin, a medical doctor familiar with the treatment of this type of injury must surgically remove it within a few hours.

Hydraulic and diesel fuel systems on forestry machines operate at very high pressures, often 207 bar (3000 psi) and above. If a loose connection or a defect in a hose should occur, a fine, high velocity stream of fluid could result. Even for systems pressurized to as little as 7 bar (100 psi), this fluid stream can penetrate human skin as if it were a hypodermic needle.

Initially, an accidental fluid injection beneath the skin may only produce a slight stinging sensation. There is a danger you will tend to ignore this, thinking it will get better with time. Most often, it does not! Within a very short time, the wound may begin to throb painfully, indicating tissue damage has already begun.

Diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury, blindness, or death. If any oil is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with treating this type of injury.

Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible. When searching for leaks, wear work gloves and use a wrench or piece of wood to move hydraulic hoses. Do not grab hold of hydraulic hoses. Wear safety goggles for eye protection.

Similarly, fluid injected directly into a blood vessel can spread rapidly through your circulatory system. The human body has little ability to purge injected fluid.

Time becomes critical as tissue damage progresses rapidly. The longer you delay getting professional medical attention, the more damage can occur.

Although fluid injection accidents are rare, the resulting injury has, on occasion, required the amputation of a finger, a hand or in some cases the entire limb. The longer the delay in getting professional medical aid, the further up the limb the tissue damage can spread. An injury of this type can become very serious or even fatal if not dealt with promptly and properly.

1.21

Pressure can be maintained in a hydraulic system long after the power source and pump have been shut down.

Lower the attachment to the ground, turn OFF the engine and relieve trapped pressure before performing work on components, or disconnecting any hoses.

Safety IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUSPECTED FLUID INJECTION INJURY: • REPORT THE INJURY TO YOUR SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY. • SEEK PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. The best defence against suffering the effects of fluid injection is to prevent the accident from occurring.

When searching for possible fluid leaks:

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder GREASE INJECTION INJURY WHEN USING PNEUMATIC GREASE GUNS Pneumatic grease guns can deliver grease at pressures from 17 – 400 bar (250 – 5800 psi). It takes less than 7 bar (100 psi) to inject a substance through human skin.

Get professional medical treatment immediately after any type of injection injury.

Provide the physician with information on the type of grease, the pressure setting of the gun, and similar details.

The amount of fluid injected, type of fluid (or material), pressure at which it was injected and the elapsed time between injection and seeking medical attention all influence the chances of successful treatment for this type of serious injury.

• Never search for leaks with your bare hands, wear thick protective gloves.

• Be sure to wear safety goggles for eye protection.

• Keep all body parts well away from the area being investigated for leaks.

Prior to using a high pressure pneumatic grease gun perform the following: • All operators of high pressure pneumatic grease guns must be trained in the hazards of its operations and the treatment for such injuries.

• Do not operate a high pressure pneumatic grease gun unless you have been trained in the proper operation and are aware of all safety precautions of such a tool.

• Wear protective clothing such as gloves, safety hat and safety glasses.

• Inspect all parts of the grease gun for wear and tear and replace all worn or damaged parts.

• Make sure protective shrouds are installed on all grease gun nozzles as safety devices.

• Use the end of a long piece of wood to move hoses or other obstacles.

• Remove dirt and grease from grease fittings prior to greasing.

• Place the end of a long piece of wood in the suspected path of any fluid stream. Never use any part of your body.

• Replace any defective grease fittings on equipment with new fittings immediately.

• Recognize the source of the leak and the fluid streaming from it may be very small and not easily visible. You may only be able to see the fluid that accumulates as a result of the fluid stream.

• When badly positioned fittings are identified, replace them with angled or swivel fittings for easier access.

When performing any service work: • Turn OFF the engine and relieve all diesel fuel or hydraulic pressure before disconnecting any lines or otherwise working on the system.

• Never grab any hydraulic or diesel fuel connectors or hoses when they are subjected to pressure.

• Ensure hoses are rated for the pressures to which they will be subjected.

• Never use any hoses you suspect could be defective.

LIGHTNING SAFETY AWARENESS

LIGHTNING SAFETY

WHAT IS A LIGHTNING STRIKE? Lightning is a discharge of the electricity produced by a thunderstorm. As the thunderstorm develops, many small particles of ice within the storm clouds bump together. These collisions create a positive charge at the top of a cloud and a negative charge at the bottom.

As this continues a second positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, concentrated around high objects such as hills, trees, buildings, equipment and even people.

When the difference between the electrical charge in the cloud and on the ground becomes great enough to overcome the resistance of the insulating air between them, an electrical current flows instantly. This is a lightning strike.

In spite of the popular myth being struck by lightning is an unlikely event, the facts show lightning strikes occur frequently. As a result loggers are at high risk because their work is outdoors and close to known strike points such as tall trees and heavy equipment.

Loggers can increase their chances of avoiding a lightning strike by following a few simple safety practices.

Designate a member of your crew to: • Monitor daily weather forecasts • Observe local weather conditions • Alert all other members of the crew when a possible lightning threat develops Don’t start or continue any work that cannot be stopped immediately, when a storm moves nearby.

The electrical potential in a lightning strike can be as much as 100 million volts. Lightning strikes can occur over very large distances, even as much as 60 km (37 miles). Lightning travels both in front of and behind a thunderstorm and so strikes happen even when rain has not started or has stopped. Lightning can hit in the same place, many times and often spreads out over 18 m (60 ft) within the soil around the strike point.

Thunder accompanies lightning. When lightning occurs, the air through which it travels is instantaneously heated to a temperature more than 28,000°C (50,000°F). The air expands rapidly due to this heating, then quickly contracts as it cools. It is this contracting shock wave we hear as thunder.

In many areas of the world, lightning strikes are second only to flooding as the greatest cause of storm related deaths and injuries. Although only 10% of lightning strike victims are killed, virtually all from cardiac or respiratory arrest, over 70% of survivors suffer severe, life-long injury and disability. The symptoms of a lightning strike include memory loss, fatigue, chronic pain, dizziness, sleeping difficulty and the inability to complete several tasks at one time.

Anticipate a high-risk situation and take action early by moving to a low-risk location. Do not hesitate. If there is lightning, you are in danger.

Obey the rule – If you see lightning, flee. If you hear thunder, Clear.

Do not follow the now obsolete guideline to take shelter when the time between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is 30 seconds or less. This does not provide sufficient time to ensure safety.

Remain in your safe location for 30 minutes after the last sight of lightning or the last sound of thunder.

The safest location during lightning activity is inside a fully enclosed, substantially constructed building, a house, office, school, shopping area, etc. These are the safest because of the electrical wiring and plumbing they contain. Should lightning strike, the electrical current will travel through the wiring or plumbing into the ground.

When such a building is nearby, seek shelter there first.

Unfortunately loggers do not often work close to buildings and therefore other alternatives need to be considered.

Sheds, weather shelters, hunting blinds, tents and other partially open or small structures are not safe against lightning strikes as they lack the electrically grounded components of larger buildings. They are intended for sun or rain protection only. Do not seek shelter from lightning strikes inside these structures.

1.23

Safety The second safest location during lightning activity is inside a fully enclosed car, van, truck or bus with a metal roof and metal sides. The electrical energy of a lightning strike to these vehicles is carried to ground by the conducting outer metal surfaces. This is called the skin effect.

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder IF INSIDE A MOTOR VEHICLE OR FULLY ENCLOSED ROPS EQUIPMENT CAB: • Under no circumstances whatsoever step outside of the vehicle or off the equipment to move to another shelter. Very dangerous electrical pathways to ground may go through you.

Do not seek safety from lightning strikes in vehicles with fibreglass or plastic body shells or in convertible top vehicles. None of these are safe, as they do not offer skin effect lightning protection.

• Shut down all operation, turn off the engine, close all doors and raise all windows.

Heavy forestry equipment such as a skidder, loader, feller buncher, forwarder, etc. with a fully enclosed rollover protective structure (ROPS) cab take advantage of the skin effect and are therefore safe in electrical storms.

• Do not touch any metallic objects attached or connected to the outside of the vehicle. Do not touch any door and window handles, control levers, foot pedals, steering wheels, cab interior walls and any other inside to outside metal objects.

However machines with a rollover canopy only are not safe against lightning strikes as they are open to electrically conductive rainwater and do not benefit from the skin effect. Operators of this equipment must abandon their machines and get to a safer location before lightning strikes.

Note the rubber tires on motor vehicles and heavy equipment do not increase safety from lightning strikes.

Lightning has already travelled a great distance through the air to strike the vehicle. In comparison a few inches of rubber in a tire offers absolutely no additional insulation.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE AND SEE LIGHTNING OR HEAR THUNDER IF YOU CAN, GET INSIDE: Run to the nearest building, motor vehicle or fully enclosed ROPS equipment cab immediately. Being anywhere outside is not safe.

IF INSIDE A BUILDING: • Don’t watch the lightning storm from open windows or doorways. Stay in inner rooms.

• Stay well away from corded telephones, electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, radio microphones, electrical sockets and plumbing pipes and fixtures.

• Sit squarely in the seat with your hands in your lap and your feet flat on the floor mat.

• Do not touch any radio or telephone connected to an outside antenna.

IF YOU ARE CAUGHT OUTSIDE AND HAVE NOWHERE TO GO: • Avoid wide-open areas where you project above the surrounding landscape.

• Seek shelter in a low place, such as a ditch, ravine, valley, canyon or cave.

• Get away from open water such as ponds or streams.

• Do not take shelter under any isolated tall trees or small groups of trees.

• Seek shelter amongst the dense, thick growth of the shortest trees.

• Avoid entering any small enclosures or shelters.

• Do not seek shelter under any motor vehicle or heavy equipment.

• Keep clear of any materials that can conduct electricity such as wire fences and gates, metal pipes, poles, rails and tools.

• Stay at least 15m (50 ft) away from metal objects such as a fuel tank, a vehicle or machinery without a cab, motorcycle, ATV, etc.

• Stay at least 5m (16 ft) apart from any other members of a group so lightning won’t travel between you.

• Do not use the telephone except for emergencies.

1.24

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

Safety

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FEEL YOUR SKIN TINGLING, YOUR HAIR STANDS ON END, LIGHT METAL OBJECTS VIBRATE OR YOU HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND: • Lightning is probably about to strike. You only have a few seconds to act.

• Put your feet together. Crouch down like in a baseball catcher’s position. Hold your head down.

Cover your ears to protect them against the noise of the thunder.

• Do not lie flat on the ground. By touching as little of the ground as possible, the lightning may not move across the ground to you.

WHAT TO DO IF A CO-WORKER HAS BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING: • The victim does not carry any electrical charge.

There is no danger to anyone helping this person.

You can touch him or her immediately.

• Call your local emergency response telephone number immediately.

• If the victim has no pulse, their heart has stopped or they have stopped breathing, start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation immediately. Use a portable defibrillator if one is available.

• Be careful about staying in the storm to take care of the victim. You can get hit by lightning too. If you can, move the victim to a building as soon as possible.

1.25

Safety

FIRE PREVENTION

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder • Steam clean the engine, hydraulic pumps, transmission, brake, fuel and hydraulic oil tank compartments and all machine belly pans at least once each month, or more frequently when working in conditions with high volumes of forest debris • Use only non-flammable solutions for cleaning the machine and components.

When working in a forest environment combustible debris will collect in tight corners of the machine. Left unchecked, this debris may cause a fire; when mixed with fuel, oil, or grease in a hot or confined place, the danger of fire greatly increases.

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.

• Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the machine at all times. Know how to use it.

• Remove dust and debris regularly from the air intake doors, cooling system components, and A/C condenser to prevent engine and hydraulic system overheating and to maintain efficient operation.

Refer to CLEANING COOLER PACKAGE in SECTION 3 .

• Remove all forest debris and fine organic material around engine intake and exhaust components (turbocharger, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, muffler) at the end of each shift, or more frequently when working in conditions with high volumes of combustible forest debris. Check carefully in small pockets and cavities around the engine enclosure where smouldering debris may gather.

NOTE: Minor debris accumulations near hot components can ignite and smoulder. Smouldering debris may shift and cause fire to spread.

• Clean out all accumulated forest debris (twigs, needles, branches, bark, leaves, saw dust, wood chips) and any other combustible materials from inside the machine belly pans, lower machine structures, and engine, hydraulic, and fuel system areas no less frequently than at the completion of each work shift.

• Inspect the machine regularly for evidence of diesel fuel or hydraulic system leakage. Check for worn or damaged hydraulic and fuel lines before turning on the engine.

• Clean up any grease, diesel fuel, or oil spillage (hydraulic or lubricating) immediately.

• Inspect the exhaust system daily for evidence of leakage. Check for worn, cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged pipes or muffler, and missing or damaged bolts or clamps. Make repairs immediately. Engine exhaust leaks can cause fires.

Do not operate the machine until exhaust leaks are repaired.

NOTE: Changes or increases in engine exhaust noise levels often indicate exhaust leaks. Do not ignore these warnings. Shut down the machine immediately and complete repairs.

• Park the machine at least 15 m (50 ft) away from other equipment at the end of each shift.

• Never leave the machine parked with the boom raised off the ground. Should the hydraulic cylinder hoses burn through in a fire, hydraulic oil will escape and the boom will fall rapidly to the ground.

• Turn OFF the battery disconnect switch when parking the machine.

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

• Remove the ignition key, and lock the cab and fuel cap at the end of shift to reduce the risk of vandalism or theft.

• Do not smoke in the vicinity of the machine.

• Do not smoke during fuelling operations, when the fuel system is open to the atmosphere, or when servicing the batteries. Exercise caution if smoking in the woods.

• After transporting a machine by road, open all doors and access panels; remove any debris that may have settled around the engine and exhaust system during the journey.

• Before undertaking repair work or welding, clean the surrounding area and place a fire extinguisher within easy reach.

• Store rags and other combustible materials safely in a fireproof location.

• Do not operate the machine near burning timber. Do not use the machine to push burning timber into a pile.

• There is no substitute for fire prevention. Time invested in prevention is repaid through productivity on the job site.

Safety • Workers designated to use fire fighting equipment as part of an emergency action plan must receive full and proper training from a qualified instructor.

NOTICE Equipment fires undermine productive logging, may increase your insurance premiums dramatically, or prevent you from obtaining insurance coverage. Make fire prevention a priority.

• Whenever portable fire extinguishers are provided for use in the workplace, training must be provided to familiarize workers with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with fire fighting.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A MACHINE FIRE • Inspect and maintain all machine systems on a routine basis.

• Maintain fire extinguishers in proper working order. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inspection and maintenance (on the label of the fire extinguisher and in the user's manual).

• Verify that any pressurized water systems on the machine are charged and in working order. Refer to PRESSURIZED WATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE as applicable in SECTION 3.

• Verify the correct types of fire extinguishers are available at the work site. Most fires involving mobile forestry equipment will be Class A or B. Dry chemical extinguishers should be rated ABC and pressurized water extinguishers should be rated A.

• Training must be provided upon initial employment and at least annually thereafter.

• Know how to use the fire extinguisher, the pressurized water system (as applicable), and the fire suppression system (as applicable) on your machine. There is no time to read instructions during a fire emergency. Be prepared to act.

• Keep emergency contact information readily available in case of fire.

IN CASE OF A MACHINE FIRE If a machine fire occurs: 1. Lower all working attachments to the ground.

2. Turn OFF the engine.

NOTE: If equipped, use the Emergency Stop Button to override the Hot Engine Shutdown Strategy.

Activate the fire suppression system as applicable.

• Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastics,

3. Radio or call for help. Report a fire immediately.

• Class B fires occur with flammable liquids such as diesel fuel, oil, and grease.

4. Turn OFF the battery disconnect switch if it safe to do so.

• Class C fires apply to energized electrical equipment.

5. Dismount the cab; take the fire extinguisher and pressurized water system hose (if applicable) with you.

• The nozzles on fires extinguishers and pressurized water systems (if applicable) must fit within the fire extinguisher access ports on the machine doors.

• Keep the fire detection system in working order as applicable. Refer to FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM in SECTION 2.

6. Put your personal safety and the safety of other persons first. Approach any fire with extreme caution. All fires are potentially very dangerous and life threatening.

Before deciding to fight the fire, be certain that: 1. The fire is small and not rapidly spreading.

• Keep the fire suppression system charged and in working order as applicable. Refer to FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM in SECTION 2.

2. There is a clear, safe escape route to your back.

• Know the recommended fire procedures in your organization's emergency action plan.

• Follow all national, state/provincial, and local fire fighting regulations. Regulations will vary from region to region but most will require that: • Workers assigned to fire fighting duties must be physically capable of performing them safely and effectively.

1.27

3. You have received training in the use of the available fire extinguishing systems and are confident that you can operate them effectively.

If in doubt about your ability to fight the fire, do not attempt to fight it. Stay well back. Wait for help to arrive.

NOTE: Engine coolant, diesel fuel, or hydraulic hoses may fail during a fire. Hot coolant, fuel, or oil could be ignited, or may spray at high velocity from damaged hoses.

Safety

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

When fighting a fire:

AFTER A MACHINE FIRE

1. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher or fire suppression system first.

Before returning a machine to operations:

2. Immediately afterwards use the pressurized water hose supplied with the machine (if applicable) or a pressurized water extinguisher (if available). A fire suppressed by dry chemical may re-ignite from the heat retained by debris or hot machine components in the area. Water cools the area, reducing the chances of re-ignition.

3. Use the fire extinguisher PASS method:

1. Determine the cause of the fire.

2. Complete all necessary repairs.

3. Service and recharge the fire suppression and detection systems as applicable.

4. Report the fire to your dealer and/or Tigercat Industries Inc. by completing an incident report (Tigercat form 5101).

Pull the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher that prevents the discharge lever from being depressed.

Break the plastic seal as the pin is pulled.

NOTE: Fire detection systems are offered as optional installations on some Tigercat product lines. Please disregard any references made to fire detection systems if not installed on your machine.

Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Do not aim the nozzle at the flames. To put out the fire, the fuel must be extinguished, not the flames. Hose nozzles are often clipped to the extinguisher body. Release the hose before taking aim.

NOTE: Dry and wet chemical fire suppression systems are offered as optional installations on some Tigercat product lines. Please disregard any references made to fire suppression systems if not installed on your machine.

Squeeze the discharge lever to release the pressurized extinguishing agent. The handle can be released at any time to stop the discharge.

Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until the fire is completely out or the fire extinguisher is empty.

822C-190

Typical Fire Extinguisher Access Port

4. Insert the fire extinguisher nozzle into the appropriate access port and discharge the extinguisher.

5. If it is safe to do so, open the access panels in the area of the fire and aim the extinguisher directly at the base of the flames.

6. If it is impossible to reach an access port or to open a panel or door, discharge the extinguisher through mesh screening or any available opening.

7. Monitor the machine after extinguishing a fire in case of re-ignition; remain until help arrives.

Safety

DRY CHEMICAL CLEANUP PROCEDURES

WET CHEMICAL CLEANUP PROCEDURES

ABC dry chemical fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems discharge a chemical powder. The powder comprises very fine particles that penetrate and cover all components in the vicinity of the discharge.

The wet chemical suppression fluid contains frost protection, rust inhibitor, and film-forming liquids that are broken down by natural organisms. When the fluid dries, the corrosion protection loses its effect. Clean up wet chemical discharges as soon as possible to avoid corrosion on metal parts.

Areas in contact with dry chemical power must be neutralized and cleaned after a fire. Wear protective clothing, safety goggles, and a fine particle dust mask.

1. De-energize electrical systems prior to any cleanup.

2. In areas that remained cool and dry during the fire, the dry chemical remains in powder form.

Clean these areas immediately to prevent residual powder from coming into contact with water or ambient moisture.

Remove the powder residue by blowing off with air, sweeping, dusting, or vacuuming using a HEPA filter capable of trapping the small dry chemical particles.

Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth.

3. In areas exposed to moisture during the fire, the dry chemical powder combines with water to form a paste that is mildly acidic. All surfaces covered in dry chemical paste, including electrical contacts, are vulnerable to corrosion.

Neutralize the acidic paste on large surfaces by spraying or washing these areas with a mixture of three parts hot water to one part baking soda. Allow this mixture to stand for several minutes before rinsing with warm water. Wash the area with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with water. Blow-dry to remove all residual water.

Clean electrical contacts with a contact cleaner that has no flash or fire point and is non-corrosive and non-conductive, such as CRC Contact Cleaner 2000.

4. In areas exposed to heat during the fire, the dry chemical powder melts, forming a coating that cakes or crusts on all surfaces.

To break down the caked dry chemical, spray or wash these areas with a 50/50 mixture of hot water and isopropyl alcohol. Allow this mixture to stand in place for several minutes.

When exposed to moisture the caked dry chemical is also mildly acidic. When the breakdown procedure has been completed, follow this immediately with the neutralizing procedure as described in step 3.

1.29

If the suppression fluid is sucked into the engine air intake, it will not significantly change engine functioning.

However, starting difficulties may occur with diesel engines because the suppression fluid contains water.

The suppression fluid also may cause corrosion damage if the engine is not cleaned soon after a fire.

Clean affected areas promptly to protect electrical system functions and prevent short circuits.

To clean affected areas: 1. Flush the affected area with pressurized fresh water.

2. Use an alkaline washing detergent to remove the film. (Film residue attracts dirt and other impurities on affected surfaces.)

3. Flush affected areas a second time to remove detergent residue.

NOTICE To protect engines, electrical installations, and other metal parts against corrosion, flush the remains of dried or moist suppression fluid as soon as possible after the release of the piston accumulator (use a high pressure washer if possible).

NOTE: When pilot system is deactivated the engine speed will reset to minimum rpm. Engage the pilot reset to increase engine speed.

Refer to COMPUTER – ENGINE MENU – ENGINE FUNCTIONS– ENGINE SPEED in THIS SECTION

AUTO IDLE If the engine speed setting is above low speed and auto idle is ON and no machine functions are activated, the engine will automatically idle down to low speed after 15 seconds. When a machine function is activated, the auto idle down function will turn off and engine speed will be returned to the previous setting.

NOTE: Auto idle down time is adjustable using the computer.

Refer to COMPUTER – MAIN MENU PAGE– ADJUST MENU – MACHINE PARAMETERS – AUTO IDLE in THIS SECTION

Press and hold this switch in the position to increase engine speed. Release the switch at the desired speed or continue to hold to place the engine at the HIGH setting.

NOTE: All operations should be performed at high speed.

2.16

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

Controls and Operation

TRACK SPEED CONTROL (HIGH/LOW) SWITCH This is a two-position maintained switch with track drive low and track drive high options. Refer to TRAVEL SPEED CONTROL in THIS SECTION. Track Drive High

When the switch is in the AUTO position and the fan runs at minimum speed due to low charge air, engine coolant or hydraulic oil temperatures, turning ON the A/C will cause the fan control to increase the cooling fan speed. This is to ensure that sufficient air flow is available for the cab A/C even while the machine is still warming up.

The Fan Auto Icon will illuminate in green on the display when this switch is in the auto position.

Track Drive Low The low range position provides the slowest travel speed with maximum torque or driving force. The high range position provides faster travel speed, but lower driving force.

Select low range when maneuvering around the loading area, when travelling on slopes, or travelling off road to maximize drive motor life. The track low icon illuminates on the computer display.

In high range, travel speed and torque are infinitely and automatically variable, to suit the terrain or load conditions. Automatic adjustment varies from a slight speed reduction all the way down to the low speed range, depending upon the conditions.

The available torque in high range is half that of low range.

Refer also to TRACK SPEED ADJUSTER in THIS SECTION. NOTE: The automatic speed/torque range adjustment gradually slows the machine over a period of one to two seconds, due in part to the infinitely variable displacement drive motors. When travelling on relatively flat terrain it is not necessary to select the low speed range on the switch.

COOLING FAN SWITCH (FULL ON/AUTOMATIC/CLEAN) This is a three-position switch, labelled (CLEAN) / AUTO / (FULL ON). This switch, along with an electronic fan control module, controls the operation of the hydraulically-driven cooling fan.

AUTO POSITION– AUTO is the normal operating position for the fan control switch. When the switch is in the AUTO position, the fan will operate completely in an automatic mode. It will start, speed up, or slow down based on the temperature of the charge air, engine coolant and/or the temperature of the hydraulic oil.

The computer system automatically adjusts fan speed to the minimum required level to maintain optimal operating conditions, and defaults to fan at full speed if an error in the computer exists.

2.17

FULL ON POSITION– When the switch is in the FULL ON position, the fan control system is overridden and the fan will run at FULL speed for cooling regardless of charge air, coolant or oil temperatures. Normally the fan control switch is placed in the AUTO position for optimal cooling. The FULL ON position is intended for use in the event of a temporary failure of the fan control.

NOTE: Placing the switch in the FULL ON position activates the computer alarm to advise the switch has been placed in the FULL ON position. Also while the switch is in the FULL ON position the Automatic Cleaning cycle is prevented. The Fan Full ON icon will be shown in grey on the display when the fan is operating in full on mode. Refer to COMPUTER – MESSAGES– INFORMATION– FAN FULL ON in THIS SECTION. CLEAN POSITION– Momentarily pressing the switch to the CLEAN position will automatically start reversing the direction of fan rotation. Reverse rotation is used to clean the charge air cooler, radiator, oil cooler, A/C condenser and air intake door screens. By reversing the flow of the fan, air flow is propelled in the opposite direction, thereby forcing dust and debris off of the coolers.

NOTE: The pilot system must be ON to operate the clean cycle.

The electronic fan control will also turn the A/C system OFF for as long as the fan is in the CLEAN mode.

When the CLEAN cycle is complete the fan automatically returns to normal rotation direction.

The Fan Clean Icon will illuminate in green on the computer display whenever the clean cycle operates.

NOTE: The CLEAN cycle also operates automatically via the timed purge function of the computer control system (frequency is adjustable) when the switch is in the AUTO position. Refer to COMPUTER – MAIN MENU PAGE, ADJUST MENU – MACHINE PARAMETERS – Timed Purge Interval in THIS SECTION. It is also important to physically clean debris from the machine on a regular basis to maintain low machine operating temperatures. Refer to CARE OF MACHINE in SECTION 3.

Controls and Operation FILLING THE DEF TANK

THE AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM AND ITS RELATED COMPONENTS ARE APPLICABLE TO TIER 4F ENGINES ONLY.

• Clean the area around the DEF fill cap and avoid introducing contaminants into the DEF tank when filling.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) HANDLING AND STORAGE It is important to avoid contamination of DEF as this may cause costly damage to SCR system components and affect the proper operation of the SCR system and the engine.

When a problem with DEF quality is detected information messages will be shown on the display. DEF quality problems may result in derating of engine performance to meet emission standard requirements. Action to correct DEF quality problems should be taken immediately to avoid affecting engine performance and damage to SCR aftertreatment system components.

Refer to COMPUTER – MESSAGES in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL or SECTION 6 of the SERVICE MANUAL. For safety information refer to DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID in SECTION 1.

• Use only (DEF) which meets ISO 22241 specifications. Use of any other fluid will contaminate the aftertreatment system and may pose a safety hazard.

USE OF PROPER STORAGE CONTAINERS • To prevent contaminants from affecting DEF quality it should be handled only in storage, transport and filling containers intended exclusively for that purpose.

• Polyethylene or stainless steel containers are recommended. Refer to DEF manufacturer's recommendations.

• DEF is corrosive to metals other than stainless steel.

Transport in metal containers other than stainless steel will result in contamination.

PROPER STORAGE CONDITIONS TO MAXIMIZE SHELF LIFE • DEF should be stored between -11°C (12°F) and 30°C (86°F) and out of direct sunlight to maximize shelf life and to avoid DEF quality problems caused by improper storage.

AVOID DEF QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH PROPER HANDLING PRACTICES Most DEF quality problems can be avoided entirely with a little care and proper handling of DEF.

• DEF quality problems can often be avoided with proper storage and handling practices to maximize shelf life.

• DEF storage areas should be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to avoid reducing shelf life.

WARNING Use only diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) which meets ISO 22241 specifications. Never fill the DEF tank with any other fluid.

• DEF shelf life is limited. It should be consumed on a first in first out basis, within manufacturer's recommended shelf life limits. DEF beyond manufacturer's recommended shelf life limits may not meet ISO 22241 specifications.

DEF is injected into the exhaust gas stream during normal operation of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system.

Use of other fluids may cause component damage, or a fire risk which could result in death or serious injury.

Controls and Operation

TRACK OPERATION AND WEAR PREVENTION

Alternate turning directions:

NOTE: The following illustrations are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not necessarily depict your machine or model.

If you're turning in the same direction, the undercarriage components on one side of the machine will wear at a different rate than those on the other side. Pay attention to the way you're turning and changing directions whenever possible to ensure even wear.

Make gradual turns instead of counter-rotations: Counter-rotating accelerates wear on the tracks and other undercarriage components. Don't use that technique unless job conditions demand it. Instead, turn the machine gradually while slowly moving forward or reverse. Gradual turns minimize cuts, tears and excessive wear in the undercarriage. They also reduce damage to soft or sensitive work surfaces.

R7150L2-7

PROTECTING STEEL TRACKS Steel tracks are designed to perform in tough underfoot conditions. Take these steps to maximize service life and reduce operating costs.

Start every shift with a clean undercarriage: When mud and debris build up on the lower part of your machine, components wear at a faster rate. Do not begin work until the undercarriage area is clean.

Inspect the undercarriage before you start working:

In the event a counter rotation is required some operators will carefully push the boom and attachment down against a suitable obstacle and lift the forward or rear sections of the track off the ground. The operator will then counter rotate the tracks while swinging the upper structure. This will disengage most of the track length from the ground during the counter rotation resulting in less site damage and potentially less track wear. This is a complex manoeuvrer and should only be completed by fully trained and experienced operators working in stable ground conditions.

In addition to ensuring the undercarriage is clean, spend a couple of minutes on a visual inspection. Check for loose bolts, leaky seals and abnormal wear patterns.

When you spot potential problems early, you can often prevent them from turning into bigger issues that reduce component life significantly or cause expensive unscheduled downtime.

Don't spin the tracks: Track spinning reduces production, it increases fuel consumption, without a corresponding increase in productivity, and it accelerates undercarriage wear, so your costs escalate. Grouser bars are especially prone to wear problems associated with track slippage.

Watch your speed: There are times when a job requires higher speed operation, but the fact is, wear accelerates as speed increases. Links, rollers and idlers are particularly vulnerable. Keep them working longer by controlling your speed.

Avoid unnecessary reverse operation: Operating in reverse, even at slow speeds, compounds bushing and sprocket wear as the track tension loads are applied to the top side of the chain. So avoid an unproductive reverse operation.

2.101

870C-TRACK1A

Work up or down a slope whenever possible: Working across a slope can shorten undercarriage component life, so try to structure the job with minimal cross-slope activity.

Controls and Operation

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder Other factors: • Application refers to the type of work you do.

Bunching, loading, grading, digging and trenching are a few examples. This factor is largely beyond your control, but generally speaking, the more you work in high horsepower, high-torque applications, the faster your undercarriage will wear.

• Material type is another key contributor to undercarriage wear that is outside your control, the more abrasive the material, the more rapid the wear rate.

845C TRACK1A

Watch transition areas: Try to minimize travel over transition obstacles as this accelerates undercarriage wear. If you must go across a transition, position the machine 90° to the transition.

Without ground support, the undercarriage is subjected to side stresses that can result in rapid, excessive wear.

Extended Machine Travel: Avoid machine travel over distances of 1 km (0.60 mi) or greater. Extended travel, especially in warm weather, risks overheating the track rollers and burning the oil inside the roller assemblies. The rollers on new machines are especially vulnerable to overheating (the break-in period for rollers is approximately 200 hr).

If it is absolutely necessary to drive the machine over an extended distance, observe the following essential precautions: 1. Travel with the boom and attachment tucked in as close to the machine as safety permits. This travel position distributes the load most evenly across all rollers.

• Terrain, a third uncontrollable factor, describes the contours and slopes at your job site. The more time you spend in rugged, sloped areas, the faster your undercarriage will wear out.

• Configuration refers to the way your machine is equipped and is therefore something you can control. To minimize undercarriage wear on steeltrack machines, use the narrowest track shoe possible that meets your flotation requirements. If you work in very sticky materials, consider using centre-punched track shoes to reduce material packing in the undercarriage area.

• Maintenance discipline plays a big role in undercarriage component life. One of the most critical maintenance practices is track adjustment.

Tight track is the number-one 'track killer'. But whether your track is too loose or too tight, improper adjustment accelerates wear which can increase downtime and repair costs. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for track adjustment, and perform the adjustment in the machine's working environment. A second important maintenance process is cleaning the undercarriage.

To maximize wear life, remove mud and debris at the end of every shift, or more frequently if necessary.

To reduce and prevent track chain joint seizing, move the machine at least once per week, in order to articulate each joint. Avoid long stops in wet environments, for example wet soil or in water.

2. Stop the machine frequently.

3. At each stop, use a suitable hand-held temperature sensor to measure the surface temperatures of the rollers.

4. If any roller surface temperature reaches or exceeds 80°C (175°F), pause for at least 30 minutes to permit cooling.

Completing just one extended travel without suitable precautions can ruin the oil inside the roller assemblies and cause roller failure. Replace rollers immediately in the event of failure. Operating the machine with failed rollers places excessive strain on other drive train components.

Talk to the experts: Undercarriage components are expensive! To get long life and maximum value from your investment, consult with a dealer or factory rep that really knows the undercarriage business. Ask for advice on operating techniques. Explore relevant application, material and terrain issues. Fine-tune your maintenance processes.

Working together with an undercarriage expert, you can manage your equipment investment over the long term.

TIGERCAT FLUID ANALYSIS PROGRAM

TIGERCAT FLUID ANALYSIS KITS

Using the Tigercat Advanced Fluid Analysis Program on a regular basis is an excellent preventative maintenance tool.

Each kit includes a Prepaid Sample Bottle and Sample Information Form. Preprinted mailing labels are also included to ensure all samples are quickly returned directly to the lab for immediate analysis and results within 24 hours of receipt.

Studies have shown that it is possible to receive a 10 to 1 payback when looking at the amount saved on repair costs in relation to the amount invested in a scheduled fluid analysis program. Some of the benefits of a sampling program include: • Detecting problems early and before they become major catastrophic failures.

• Better ability to schedule downtime and forecast cost of repairs.

• Monitoring maintenance schedules and practices and confirming the required maintenance is being done on time.

The same type of sample bottle can be used for all types of fluid testing including Hydraulic Circuits, Final Drives, Axles, Gearboxes, Engines, etc.

To ensure accurate and meaningful results are obtained, each kit also includes detailed instructions on how to properly collect, prepare and ship the fluid samples.

Contact your Tigercat Dealer Parts Department to order kits.

• Increase used equipment value by providing proof of proper maintenance.

This Program uses the most modern technology available to analyze all fluid samples. Most test results are available within 24 hours after receipt of the sample and are supplied in an easy to understand report, which calls for specific action and makes detailed recommendations. The report is available as a mailed or faxed hardcopy, sent via e-mail or it can be viewed on the Internet.

This program will provide Tigercat machine owners access to an Advanced Fluid Analysis Program for all major machine components including Engines, Hydraulic Circuits, Axles, Final Drives, Gearboxes, etc.

Tigercat Fluid Analysis Kits are available from your Tigercat dealer parts department. If required, arrangements can also be made with your Tigercat dealer to supply and perform all of the required follow-up fluid samples.

Refer to FLUID SAMPLING PROGRAM in THIS SECTION for sample valve and drain plug locations.

TIGERCAT FLUID SAMPLING PROGRAM

HYDRAULIC OIL SAMPLES

FLUID SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES Fill out the Sample Information Form (SIF) completely and accurately. When taking multiple fluid samples, fill out all of the required SIF`s in their entirety, prior to taking any fluid samples. Then, immediately package each completed SIF together with the matching fluid sample in the black outer shipping container as each individual sample is taken. This will reduce the possibility of mixing up or incorrectly identifying the SIF`s and fluid samples. Incorrectly identified samples could result in a false warning alarm.

The accuracy of the lab analysis results is very dependent on the quality of the fluid sample taken.

Collection of clean fluid samples that are representative of the main body of fluid are essential if meaningful lab results are to be obtained. Erroneous readings may result if proper collection, handling, packaging and shipping practices are not followed prior to the sample being tested by the lab. To be able to accurately compare and trend the lab results over time, all followup samples should be consistently taken from the same location using the same techniques as all previous samples.

• All sample valves and drain plugs must be clean and free of debris.

• Remove the dust cover from the sample valve and attach the bleed hose (supplied with the machine) to the sample valve connection.

• Remove the sample bottle cap only when ready to obtain the sample. Keep the cap clean – do not put it in your pocket or let it get contaminated in any way.

• Do not allow any airborne dirt, etc., to enter the sample bottle.

• Avoid contamination of the sample – replace the sample bottle cap immediately after filling the bottle to approximately ¾ full.

A Bleed Coupler Connection B Charge Pressure Filters

• Hydraulic oil samples should be taken from the circulating oil flow at operating temperature, with no functions actuated, using sample valves that are permanently located on the machine whenever possible.

• Purge the bleed hose before taking a representative oil sample. Drain a minimum of 90 – 120 ml (3 – 4 oz) of oil into a separate container and discard this oil using approved recycling methods.

• Remove the bleed hose and replace the dust cover on the sample valve immediately after taking the oil sample and sealing the sample bottle.

GEARBOX SAMPLES • These samples can be taken during the oil change process.

All samples taken should be immediately forwarded to the lab for processing.

• To obtain a representative oil sample, the oil must be warm and must not have settled (within 30 minutes of shutdown).

Contact your Tigercat dealer to purchase additional or replacement hydraulic sample valves or drain plugs.

• Place the required drain container under the machine to capture the used oil to be discarded using approved recycling methods.

In cases where fluid samples must be pumped or otherwise drawn out of a tank or housing, a hand operated fluid suction pump is also available from your Tigercat dealer.

• Remove the drain plug and allow approximately 50% of the oil to drain, then place the sample bottle in the stream of draining oil to obtain a representative sample.

GENERAL

• When welding, secure ground connection as close to working position as possible to prevent arcing across machined surfaces or through bearings.

CAUTION

• Clean away all branches, bark and chips. Clean up all traces of oil to avoid fires.

All handles, steps and platforms must be kept free of grease, oil, fuel, mud, snow, ice and forest debris.

• Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs of leakage. Check for worn, cracked, broken, or damaged pipes or muffler. Also check for missing or damaged bolts or clamps. Repair all exhaust leaks or defective parts immediately. Engine exhaust leaks can cause fires. Do not operate the machine until the exhaust leak is repaired.

• Clean around fill caps before checking or adding fluids.

• Clean around hydraulic fittings before breaking connection. Plug or cap immediately.

• During daily operation of the machine, the occurrence of exhaust leaks are usually accompanied by a change or increase in engine exhaust noise levels. These audible warnings cannot be ignored. When exhaust leaks occur during operation, shut down the machine immediately and Do not put it back to work until the necessary repairs have been completed.

• Clean up spills as soon as possible.

• Use clean oil and containers.

• Drain dirty oil while still warm.

• Do not exceed recommended fluid levels.

• Service all hydraulic filters after the failure of a pump, motor, cylinder or valve. Failures of this nature could contaminate the entire hydraulic system.

• Keep a fire extinguisher on hand at all times.

• Lower the boom to the ground when leaving the cab, leaving the machine unattended or when performing servicing procedures.

• Top up diesel fuel at each shift to reduce contamination by condensation.

• Clean up oil spills in engine enclosure immediately.

• Install door safety struts when working on the machine.

• Before welding on machine, disconnect all electrical connections and follow all servicing safety precautions as outlined in the WELDING, PRIOR TO in SECTION 1.

FIRE PREVENTION

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Proper maintenance of your machine will greatly extend its life and reduce your operating costs.

Fire can result in a machine loss which can be financially devastating.

CAUTION After transporting (trucking) a machine from one job sight to the next, open all doors and access panels and blow off any debris that may have repositioned itself onto the engine and exhaust parts due to wind turbulence during the journey.

1. When allowed to accumulate, forest debris and fine organic material (twigs, pine needles, branches, bark, leaves, sawdust, small wood chips, etc.) and any other combustible materials form a fuel source that is extremely difficult to extinguish when ignited. A thorough program of regular cleaning and washing will reduce the possibility of a fire starting.

In the event a fire does start, the regular cleaning program will improve the chances of successfully extinguishing a fire.

IMPORTANT! Before servicing the hydraulic system, park the machine on level ground. Refer to PARKING THE MACHINE in SECTION 1.

NOTICE

Tigercat 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 system components.

The cleanliness of hydraulic oil cannot be guaranteed unless it is pre-filtered before use.

Use of filters other than genuine Tigercat replacement filters is not recommended.

Replace filters at the recommended time intervals. Refer to SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE in THIS SECTION.

WARNING

Hot fluids and hot machine surfaces can cause serious burns!

• Before servicing the machine, allow the engine cooling system, fuel system, exhaust system, hydraulic system and machine surfaces to cool down.

• Use a thermometer to check surface and system temperatures to ensure it is safe to begin service work.

• Do not begin service work until the surface or system temperature has cooled down to below 38°C (100°F).

REFILLING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM When filters are replaced, there is a nominal amount of oil loss through leakage and oil contained in the filters.

This requires a hydraulic system top-up or refill.

Before refilling, check the computer to verify which oil type is selected to ensure the same type and grade of oil is used to refill the system. This will allow the program to optimize the cooling and warning functions to best suite the oil type. Refer to COMPUTER – ADJUSTMENT MENU – HYDRAULIC OIL GRADE SELECTION in SECTION 2 for selecting hydraulic oil type setting procedure.

It is strongly recommended that a program of regular oil testing be used. Oil change intervals can be established from oil test results.

Refer to HYDRAULIC SYSTEM – HYDRAULIC OIL TANK – ADDING OIL in THIS SECTION. NOTE: Changing strainers, filters and replacing the hydraulic oil tends to aerate the oil. For maximum pump life, the machine should sit for one hour after servicing to allow entrained air to escape from the oil prior to applying working pressures to the pumps.

When refilling the hydraulic system, vent pumps, motors and valves of air by opening a plug or hose fitting located near or on top of the pumps, motors and valves until oil free of air is seen flowing out of the plug or hose fitting.

Failure to vent air from the hydraulic system could cause serious damage to hydraulic components. Tighten plugs or fittings and clean up any spilled oil when completed.

Check all hydraulic system components especially the cooling fan for proper operation after hydraulic oil has been replaced.

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT ADJUSTMENT The low voltage disconnect (LVD) feature permits the operator to determine the battery voltage threshold at which the timer/controller shuts down the heater, or prevents it from starting.

If the battery voltage is equal to or lesser than the low voltage disconnect threshold, plus 0.1 V, the heater will not operate.

For example, if the operator selects a 24.5 V threshold, the engine coolant heater unit cannot start unless the battery voltage is at least 24.7 V. Before operating the engine coolant heater unit, verify the low voltage disconnect threshold is set to an appropriate value.

For a 24 V system, the engine coolant heater unit operating range is 21 – 25.5 V and the recommended LVD value is 22 V. To check and/or set the low voltage disconnect threshold:

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM All service work must be performed by a certified A/C technician. Charge the system with R134a refrigerant only. Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil should be present in the system and must be used on O-rings and fittings.

A/C SYSTEM TOTAL CAPACITIES R134a Refrigerant

TBD

PAG Oil

2.5 kg (5.5 lb)

Compressor shipping quantity (Shipping oil from vendor)

200 ml (6.76 oz)

The compressor draws in the low-pressure refrigerant vapour from the A/C system.

The compressor is powered by the serpentine belt connected to the crankshaft of the engine. When the A/C system is turned on, the compressor clutch engages and the compressor pumps refrigerant vapour under high pressure to the condenser.

CONDENSER The condenser is part of the cooler package.

Tigercat factory added oil

+ 153 ml (5.2 oz)

Total

= 353 ml (11.9 oz)

Refer to CLEANING COOLER PACKAGE in THIS SECTION for the location of the condenser.

When replacing air conditioning system components, it is important to replace PAG oil that has been lost when parts are changed. The total amount of PAG oil added to compensate for replacement components should not exceed the total capacity.

When recharging the system, only add the quantity of oil reclaimed during the recovery process.

Low PAG oil levels can starve the compressor for oil and lead to compressor failure. Too much PAG oil can hurt the cooling performance.

Refrigerant flows through the condenser tubing from top to bottom. The high internal pressure coupled with the large volume of air cooling the condenser as it passes over the condenser core produces a condition in which vapour refrigerant converts to liquid refrigerant (condensation). This change usually takes place in the bottom third portion of the condenser.

RECEIVER-DRIER

IMPORTANT! It is recommended that during cold weather when the A/C system is not in use, that it be run for a period of five minutes every two weeks. This will circulate oil to all components of the A/C system.

EXPANSION VALVE A

The high pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the expansion valve and then passes through a variable orifice. The orifice limits the speed and therefore the flow of refrigerant causing the pressure of the refrigerant to drop. The refrigerant exits the expansion valve as a low pressure liquid.

EVAPORATOR, HEATER CORE AND BLOWERS Liquid refrigerant flows into the evaporator coil. As the blowers pull the warm cab air across the evaporator coil, heat is absorbed by the refrigerant. This results in cooling of the air as it passes across the evaporator coil.

When enough heat is absorbed by the refrigerant, the refrigerant changes to a low pressure vapour.

NOTE: High temperature silicone connectors do not need to be replaced unless damaged.

In addition to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE in THIS SECTION, the following instructions should also be noted: The most common and most damaging air intake servicing problems are:

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.

NOTE: Over servicing does not apply to hydraulic oil or diesel engine filters.

IMPROPER SERVICING 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.

Lubrication and Maintenance THE AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM AND ITS RELATED COMPONENTS ARE APPLICABLE TO TIER 4F ENGINES ONLY.

AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM The engine on this machine is equipped with a combination Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and high-efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system to limit the nitrogen oxide exhaust gas values (NOX) to meet Tier 4f emission standard requirements with low fuel consumption. This process is electronically controlled by the aftertreatment system.

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder NOTICE Do not permit the engine to idle for longer than 1 hour. Damage to the emission control system can result. When the engine idles for an extended period, the aftertreatment system causes excess hydrocarbon buildup. Burnoff of hydrocarbons at full load immediately after an extended idle period generates excess heat which damages emission control system components.

The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) uses oxidation at high temperatures to convert carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and the soluble organic fraction (SOF) of diesel particulates into inert compounds, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O). In addition, the DOC converts nitrogen oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Increased NO2 levels enhance the performance of the SCR catalyst at low temperatures and increase the effectiveness of the DOC/SCR aftertreatment system as a whole.

The high-efficiency SCR process is based on a series of chemical reactions which involve the reaction of ammonia with the oxygen in the exhaust gas to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the exhaust gas by transforming it into inert compounds: free nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O). In addition, the high-efficiency catalytic converter includes a clean up catalyst (CUC) which reduces any excess ammonia (NH3), which may result from the SCR process.

IMPORTANT! When cleaning the machine with pressurized water it is important to avoid getting water directly or indirectly into the exhaust tube. Water in the exhaust tube will damage sensors and SCR system components and affect the proper operation of the after treatment system and the engine.

Lubrication and Maintenance The DOC/SCR aftertreatment system is electronically managed by the aftertreatment system incorporated into the engine electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU calculates and adjusts the flow rate of the DEF solution into the system based on current engine rpm, torque delivered, exhaust temperature, amount of nitrogen oxides and ammonia present.

The exhaust passes through the DOC which uses oxidation at high temperatures to convert carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and the soluble organic fraction (SOF) of diesel particulates into inert compounds, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O). It also converts nitrogen oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which enhances the performance of the SCR catalyst.

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder The exhaust gases and ammonia, at the proper reaction temperature, are introduced into the catalytic converter, where the second phase of the process takes place. The ammonia is converted into free nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O) by reacting with the oxygen in the exhaust gases.

Finally the high-efficiency catalytic converter incorporates a clean up catalyst (CUC) which reduces any excess ammonia (NH3) resulting from the SCR process.

The supply module pump picks up the DEF solution from the tank and sends it under pressure through the dosing module filter to the dosing module (DEF injector) to be injected into the exhaust at the outlet of the DOC and pass through the mixer tube upstream of the catalytic converter.

The first phase of the SCR process takes place in the pipe between the DOC and Catalytic converter. High temperature exhaust gas evaporates the DEF solution instantly and, by hydrolysis, converts it into ammonia (NH3) and CO2.

Evaporation of the solution lowers exhaust gas temperature, bringing it closer to the optimum temperature required by the process.

A Dosing Module

The dosing module is mounted on the DOC outlet upstream of the catalytic converter. The dosing module injects DEF into the exhaust stream.

The dosing module is cooled by a constant flow of engine coolant supplied by the heater valve to maintain optimum temperature for the aftertreatment process.

MIXER TUBE

The catalytic converter is located above the engine.

Chemical reactions inside the catalytic converter reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas.

The catalytic converter is equipped with soundproofing material and replaces the exhaust silencer. It incorporates both the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the cleanup catalyst (CUC) components of the aftertreatment system.

The first phase of the SCR process takes place between the DOC and the SCR. High temperature exhaust gas evaporates the DEF solution instantly and, by hydrolysis, converts it into ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

A

Evaporation of the solution lowers exhaust gas temperature, bringing it closer to the optimum temperature required by the process.

The exhaust gases and ammonia at the proper reaction temperature, are introduced into the SCR, where the second phase of the process takes place. By reacting with the oxygen in the exhaust gases the ammonia is converted into free nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O).

Finally the high efficiency catalytic converter incorporates a CUC which reduces any excess NH3 which may result from the SCR process.

2. Shut down the machine as per instructions in STOPPING ENGINE in SECTION 2.

Follow proper engine shutdown procedures. The important benefits are: • Extended life of engine, cooling and exhaust systems.

• Reduced risk of post shutdown fires.

• Interior of machine cools significantly reducing risks from touching hot surfaces.

3. Open the power cooler package door. Refer to ACCESS DOORS AND COVERS in THIS SECTION. 4. Use compressed air or water for cleaning.

CAUTION Use compressed air for cleaning only when the machine is cold to avoid the risk of fire caused by debris being blown into contact with hot surfaces.

If using compressed air for cleaning, use at 2 bar (30 psi) or less.

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder NOTE: The cooler package must be checked daily and may have to be thoroughly cleaned on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, depending on operating conditions.

Use personal protective equipment (eye wear) to guard against flying debris. Use compressed air for cleaning only when the machine is cold to avoid the risk of fire caused by debris contacting hot surfaces. Care must be taken not to set the pressure too high otherwise damage to the components could result.

Pay particular attention to cleaning in the corners of the cooler as these areas usually plug deeply. Reversing the fan at least once per hour will help reduce the dust accumulation in the cooler cores. Refer to SWITCHES – FAN (ENGINE COOLING) in SECTION 2 to manually reverse the fan. The auto clean cycle is adjustable through the computer control system menu. Refer to COMPUTER – ADJUSTMENT MENU – FAN SETTINGS in SECTION 2.

For more information on fire prevention refer to FIRE PREVENTION in SECTION 1.

If an oil leak occurs 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 causes dust and dirt to cling to surfaces which impairs the ability of the reversible fan to remove dust and dirt particles.

Use personal protective equipment (eye wear) to guard against flying debris.

5. Close the power cooler package door and return all cooling components to their operating position.

CAUTION Avoid the risk of fire caused by debris accumulating on surfaces that may become hot during machine operation. Use care when cleaning to ensure debris removed from one area of the machine does not accumulate on other areas of the machine.

CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Most windows used in the cab are made from a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic. This material is a replacement for glass when improved strength, durability and safety is required.

Daily inspection and maintenance is essential to confirm the window’s ability to protect the operator has not been compromised.

Polycarbonate material is expected to resist heavy impact from large branches and falling tree tops and to absorb high levels of energy when contacted by high velocity thrown objects such as wood chips, disc saw blade teeth or broken harvester head saw chain.

The extreme operating environment seen in logging applications heightens the need to regularly inspect and properly maintain polycarbonate cab windows.

Polycarbonate windows are an essential piece of operator protective equipment and should be maintained as such.

• Inspect all windows daily and immediately after any impacts.

• Check for any damage to the window material or steel structure in the area of the window mounting.

• The edges of the polycarbonate window must be evenly and fully supported on a flat surface around the entire window opening at all times. Bent or dented skylight structures must be replaced immediately. Bent or dented cab structures must be evaluated immediately for possible repair or replacement.

• The viewing surface and edges of the polycarbonate window must be free from cracks, chips, notches or scarring and the edges must not be pinched or stressed. These defects will decrease its ability to resist heavy impacts and therefore compromise effectiveness as operator safety protective equipment. Windows with these defects must be replaced immediately.

• Bent, dented or missing window retaining parts must be replaced immediately.

• Rubber materials used in mounting the window must be maintained in good condition.

• Identification of the polycarbonate originally used by Tigercat is hot stamped in a corner of the window to identify its composition. Do not use any replacement window without proof of its material composition. Do not substitute with any other materials.

• Skylights, cab structures, windows and window retaining parts must not be modified or replaced with components that are not approved by Tigercat.

RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

The resistance of polycarbonate material to chemical exposure varies widely. Fortunately, polycarbonate materials have good resistance to diesel fuel, grease, hydraulic oil, kerosene and engine oil.

The viewing surfaces of polycarbonate cab windows are specially treated with a hard coating to provide enhanced resistance to abrasion and ultra-violet (UV) radiation.

Other chemicals however can seriously weaken the polycarbonate.

Do not permit any of the following chemicals to come into contact with polycarbonate windows: • Acetone • Air conditioning refrigerant

The following instructions are provided to prolong the life of this protective hard coating.

1. Rinse the window thoroughly with lukewarm water 2. Using a soft cloth, cellulose sponge or chamois, gently wash the window with a mild solution of soap or detergent in lukewarm water. Do not scrub or use brushes or squeegees.

Brand name soaps and detergents recommended for cleaning polycarbonate are:

• Ammonia • Anti-freeze

• Formula 409

• Benzene

• Hexcel F.O. 554

• Brake fluid

• Joy

• Carbon tetrachloride

• Neleco-Placer

• Cutting oils • Gasoline • Lacquer thinner • Toluene • Turpentine • Xylene

RESISTANCE TO WATER

• Top Job 3. Rinse the window thoroughly with lukewarm water.

4. Dry the window with a moist soft cloth, cellulose sponge or chamois to prevent water spotting.

5. To remove grease or oil, first rub lightly with a good grade of VM&P naphtha or isopropyl alcohol followed by the same rinse, wash, rinse and dry procedure described in steps 1 to 4.

Refer to WINDOWS– CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS– RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS in THIS SECTION for a list of chemicals which should not be permitted to come into contact with polycarbonate windows.

Polycarbonate material has good resistance to water up to approximately 65°C (150°F). Above this temperature the effect of water is time-temperature related. This means the higher the water temperature, the shorter the time before the polycarbonate is adversely affected.

Exposing polycarbonate to repeated steam cleaning or high temperature pressure washing may result in crazing, a phenomenon that causes clouding of the surface. Crazing can ultimately result in a loss of physical strength and may precede a fracture.

3.122

Tigercat 180 Swing Yarder

Lubrication and Maintenance CONCEALING HAIRLINE SCRATCHES

CAUTION

The appearance of scratches and minor abrasions on the surfaces of polycarbonate windows can be minimized by using a mild automotive polish such as:

• Do not use abusive cleaning procedures either by hand or pressure washing on polycarbonate windows.

• Johnson’s Paste Wax • Novus Plastic Polish #1 and #2

• Do not use brushes, razor blades, scrapers, squeegees or other sharp tools on polycarbonate windows.

• Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish

• Do not clean polycarbonate windows when the daytime temperature is high or in direct sunlight.

• Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on polycarbonate windows.

• Do not use glass cleaners in either aerosol or non aerosol containers to clean polycarbonate windows.

Failure to follow these cleaning instructions will shorten the service life of polycarbonate and may cause visual hazing, loss of light transmission and delamination of the polycarbonate hard surface coating.

Be certain to clean the polycarbonate window as outlined prior to application of an automotive polish.

Refer to WINDOWS– CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS– CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in THIS SECTION.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL • For removal of paints, marking pen inks, etc., the use of Butyl Cellosolve is generally effective. The use of masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered paints.

• To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene, VM&P naphtha, or petroleum spirits is generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

Refer to WINDOWS– CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS– RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS in THIS SECTION for a list of chemicals which should not be permitted to come into contact with polycarbonate windows.

FIRE PRECAUTIONS Polycarbonate window material will ignite when exposed to an ignition source in excess of 427°C (800°F). When working around polycarbonate windows, observe similar fire precautions to those in place for wood.

ASSEMBLY TORQUE The four-bolt port is simply a circular opening (flow passage) surrounded by four tapped holes in a certain pattern for acceptance of the flange clamping bolts. The flat surface of the port compresses the O-ring contained in the groove in the flange head when the clamp bolts are torqued. In some instances, the groove is in the port and not in the flange head. The bolts, through the clamp halves, clamp down the flange head onto the flat surface of the port compressing and trapping the O-ring in the groove and leaving no gap for it to extrude under pressure. The hydraulic pressure is thus sealed by the compressed O-ring as long as the bolts are tightened enough to maintain solid metal to metal contact between the flange head at the outside diameter of the O-ring and the top of the port.
