Introduction

S.A.E. STANDARDS ROLL-OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS) FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS) OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS) * MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS: The integrity of the ROPS, 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, FOPS, OPS structure will become void if any such modification(s) take place.

Tigercat may officially grant approval for modifications only by: i. Written approval of repairs or modifications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or ii. 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's cabs are designed to ROPS, FOPS, OPS standards so that they will withstand force and absorb energy during a roll-over (ROPS), when resisting the impact of a falling object (FOPS) and minimize the posibility 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, 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 roll-over protective structures.

Safety

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).

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.

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

Maintain a distance of 3 m (10 ft) between the machine or boom and any power line carrying up to 50,000 volts or less plus 10 mm (½ in.) for each additional 1,000 volts above the 50,000 volt level.

The following procedures are recommended when inspecting equipment that has been subjected to high temperatures such as fire: •

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.

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 cloths, residue and gloves must be safely discarded after use.

If the machine must be transported, make sure that it is adequately secured to the transporting vehicle. Refer to VEHICLE MOVING INSTRUCTIONS in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL. 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 IDLE 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.

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

Safety Hazards - Operating Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the vehicle at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

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.

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

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

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.

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

When moving the machine, watch that 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.

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.

Tigercat 470 Mulcher MULCHING OPERATION SAFETY Land clearing operations generally involve other machinery and people on the site. Operators must maintain an awareness of all working traffic within 500 feet of the mulching operation.

Pieces of wood, debris from the ground and even cutting tools separating from the rotor become potentially dangerous projectiles when thrown from these machines.

Inspect cutter tools, cutter tool fasteners, rotor and mulching head assembly.

Ensure that all cutter tool retaining bolts are at correct torque value.

Replace all worn cutter tools.

Always replace the fastener whenever replacing a cutter tool.

Inspect the rotor for weld cracks and other damage.

Check that the rotor does not wobble due to worn shaft bearings.

Never start or use a machine if the rotor has missing cutting tools, missing cutting tool fasteners or a bent rotor.

Shut down the machine immediately if you feel excessive vibration when the rotating cutter is running.

Check that the cutter housing is clear and undamaged.

DANGER ROTATING CUTTER

The safety of persons outside the cab is the responsibility of the machine operator.

Danger caused by flying debris. Improper operation of the attachment and failure to follow safety precautions can result in personal injury.

FRONT DANGER ZONE

REAR DANGER ZONE

Safety DANGER ZONES Danger exists most prominently to the rear and front of the mulching head.

Operate so that the main discharge areas of the mulching head are not directed at people, livestock, buildings or other machines.

Throw distance for metal pieces and stones can be many times the distance for wood chips.

Danger is greater if the site contains stones or abandoned metal.

Poor maintenance increases the danger.

Thorough timely inspection and replacement of worn cutter tools, fasteners and wear plates.

Always heed warning signs of missing cutter tool parts or sounds of striking rocks and adjust operation to suit the site.

Do not operate in a way that throws chips in a direct line at the machine cab.

REAR DANGER ZONE Chunks of wood and rock can be thrown from the rear of the mulching head. This occurs when the mulching head is raised high enough to allow debris to escape the guard chains. No one should be allowed within the HAZARD ZONE. This condition is dangerous, refer to HAZARD ZONE in THIS SECTION. The following precautions should be followed: • • •

FRONT DANGER ZONE To the front a lower volume of projectiles may be experienced. However, no one should be allowed within the HAZARD ZONE. Refer to HAZARD ZONE in THIS SECTION. The following precautions should be followed: •

• 480-004

•

DANGER ZONES

Never allow anyone to the rear of the machine while it is in operation.

Inspect daily for damaged or missing guard chains. Replace them before operating.

Be especially careful when the tool is lowered onto new material and when the tool is raised up and out of material it has been working.

•

Never allow anyone to the front of the machine while it is in operation.

Close the mulch door (if equipped) while pullworking to better contain debris. This also increases the fineness of the shredded product.

Be especially careful when the tool is lowered onto new material and when the tool is raised up and out of material it has been working.

DO NOT operate without guards.

1.11

Safety

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

URBAN PRECAUTIONS

ANIMAL REMAINS

Increased safety precautions are required when working:

Animal remains such as calf and deer carcasses will plug the machine due to their leathery skin.

Avoid the unpleasant task of removing the remains from the rotor.

• • • •

Near streets Near highways In parks, on golf courses or other inhabited areas.

Near buildings

Establish Safety parameters that fit the site: • • •

String coloured warning tape to cordon off the area.

Use a traffic director when the hazard zone impinges on pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Erect barriers.

ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF THE JOB SITE Before working in a new area a visual survey of the area to be worked is helpful in identifying undesirable materials which may be present.

Remove as much of the undesirable materials as is practical before proceeding.

AVOID METAL AND WIRE. Metal can break cutter tools and create a projectile hazard.

Wire wraps itself around the rotor shaft especially near the bearings. Near bearings this can cause wire to enter past the grease seals and cause damage to bearings if it is not removed promptly.

USE CAUTION WITH STRINGY VEGETATION Shredding materials like Palmetto, Bird of Paradise, and yard waste tied with plastic should be approached with caution. Stringy vegetation and plastic ties gravitate toward the bearings. The operator should exercise caution while working with this type of material.

AVOID PLASTICS Hoses, bags, tarps and ropes must be removed as soon as they are seen.

Mattresses, rugs, clothes and cloth will plug the machine immediately.

Inspect the rotor for clinging strands often.

AVOID FENCES Do not drive the mulcher into fences, especially chain link fences. Chain link fencing can damage the rotor. Refer to AVOID METAL AND WIRE above.

Safety

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

Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.

Never use bare hand to check for fluid leaks.

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.

Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

Do not change any pressure or relief setting unless authorized instruction has been obtained.

Use the proper tool for the job. Repair or replace worn or damaged tools including lifting equipment immediately.

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, stop engine and relieve trapped pressure from pilot system and brake accumulators before performing work on components, or disconnecting any hoses. For the procedure on how to RELIEVE PRESSURE, refer to PARKING THE MACHINE in THIS SECTION.

1.15

Safety

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

Keep your hands, feet, head, and loose clothing away from power driven parts. Tie long hair behind your head. Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in moving parts.

If the engine is running inside a building, ensure that sufficient ventilation is available to prevent a buildup of toxic exhaust fumes. Run the engine only when it is necessary for testing or adjustments.

Always be aware of machine pinch points that could cause injury. Never place body parts within the range of motion of the working parts of the machine.

Never stand under an object supported with hydraulics. Always use safety stands or a locking device.

Work in a ventilated area. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe extension to remove toxic exhaust fumes.

If you don't have an exhaust pipe extension, either work outside, or open the shop doors.

Dispose of fluids properly.

WARNING DO NOT work below or behind a machine that is parked on a grade.

WARNING Always allow the cutter blade to come to a COMPLETE STOP before approaching attachment to make adjustments.

CAUTION

Do not pour fluids into the ground, stream, pond or lake.

Before draining any fluids, know the proper way to dispose of them.

Do not open cab doors or window screens when machine is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force.

WARNING Failure to follow all of the above instructions could result in serious injury or death from crushing.

1.16

Tigercat 470 Mulcher FLUID INJECTION INJURY

Safety WARNING

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 will 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.

Diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and could result in death or serious injury. 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.

In the event of any suspected fluid injection injury • Report the injury to your supervisor immediately.

• Seek professional medical attention immediately.

As always the best defence against suffering the effects of fluid injection is to prevent the accident from occurring in the first place.

When searching for possible fluid leaks • Never search for leaks with your bare hands.

Always 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.

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

Initially, an accidental fluid injection beneath the skin may only produce a slight stinging sensation.

There is a danger that you will tend to ignore this, thinking that it will get better with time. Most often, it does not! Within a very short time the wound may begin to throb painfully, indicating that tissue damage has already begun.

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.

Diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and could result in death or serious injury. 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.

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.

•

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

• Recognize that 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 performing any service work • Stop 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.

• Always ensure that hoses are rated for the pressures to which they will be subjected.

• Never use any hoses that you suspect could be defective.

1.17

Safety GREASE INJECTION INJURY WHEN USING PNEUMATIC GREASE GUNS

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

Pneumatic grease guns can deliver grease at pressures from 17 - 400 Bar (246 - 5801 psi).

It takes less than 7 Bar (100 psi) to inject a substance through human skin.

ALWAYS 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 surgery all influence the chances of successful treatment for this type of serious injury.

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.

•

Ensure that protective shrouds are installed on all grease gun nozzles as safety devices.

•

Remove dirt and grease from grease fittings prior to greasing.

•

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

•

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

LIGHTNING SAFETY AWARENESS

Safety LIGHTNING SAFETY In spite of the popular myth that being struck by lightning is an unlikely event, the facts show that 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.

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.

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 feet) within the soil around the strike point.

Thunder always 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 that 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 those that survive 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.

1. 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.

2. Don’t start or continue any work that cannot be stopped immediately, when a storm moves nearby.

3. 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.

4. Obey the rule - If you see lightning, Flee. If you hear thunder, Clear.

5. 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. Always follow step 4.

6. 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 that they contain. Should lightning strike, the electrical current will travel through the wiring or plumbing into the ground.

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

1.19

Safety

Tigercat 470 Mulcher WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE AND SEE LIGHTNING OR HEAR THUNDER. If you can, get inside.

1. Run to the nearest building, motor vehicle or fully enclosed ROPS equipment cab immediately. Being anywhere outside is not safe.

2. If inside a building:

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.

•

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.

3. If inside a motor vehicle or fully enclosed ROPS equipment cab:

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.

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

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.

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 that 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.

1.20

•

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.

•

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

•

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

•

Do not touch any metallic objects referenced 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.

•

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

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

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.

1. Lightning is probably about to strike. You only have a few seconds to act.

2. 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.

If you are caught outside and have no where else to go.

1. Avoid wide-open areas where you project above the surrounding landscape.

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

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

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

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

6. Avoid entering any small enclosures or shelters.

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

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

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

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

3. 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.

1. The victim does not carry any electrical charge. There is no danger to anyone helping this person. You can touch him or her immediately.

2. Call your local emergency response telephone number immediately.

3. 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.

4. 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.

To further increase your awareness about lightning safety, see the following web sites.

National Weather Service Lightning Safety http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov National Lightning Safety Institute http://www.lightningsafety.com

11. Do not use the telephone except for emergencies.

1.21

Safety

Tigercat 470 Mulcher 4. 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.

FIRE PREVENTION

5. Inspect the machine regularly for any signs of diesel fuel or hydraulic system leakage.

Check for worn or eroded fuel or hydraulic lines before starting up any equipment.

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 when working in logging conditions where large amounts of combustible forest debris are present.

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.

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

1. Maintain a CHARGED fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT. 2. Remove debris and blow out dust regularly from the air intake doors, engine radiator and charge air cooler, hydraulic oil cooler, diesel fuel cooler and air conditioning condenser core to prevent overheating of the engine and hydraulics and to maintain efficient operation of the machine. Refer to CLEANING A/C CONDENSER, OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL. 3. Blow off all forest debris and fine organic material 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 when working in logging conditions where large amounts of combustible forest debris are present.

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

8. Use only nonflammable solutions for cleaning the machine and components.

9. 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.

Should any exhaust leaks or defective parts be found, repairs must be made immediately.

Engine exhaust leaks can cause fires. Do not operate the machine until the exhaust leak is repaired.

10. 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. Should any exhaust leaks occur during operation, the machine must be shut down immediately and not put back to work until the necessary repairs have been completed.

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

12. Never leave the machine parked with boom, arch or blade suspended off the ground. Should their supporting hydraulic hoses burn through during a fire, pressurized hydraulic oil may be injected into the fire and the boom, arch or blade will fall rapidly to the ground.

1.22

Tigercat 470 Mulcher 13. Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF at shut down to de-energize all electrical circuits.

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

Safety 17. AFTER transporting (trucking) a machine from one job site 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 caused by the journey.

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

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

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

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

•

Prevent the fire from happening in the first place by ensuring that all machine systems are frequently inspected and always well maintained.

•

Ensure that any hand held fire extinguishers are charged and in working order. Fire extinguishers require routine care. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inspection and maintenance shown on the label of the fire extinguisher and in the extinguisher manufacturer's manual.

•

Ensure that any pressurized water systems on the machine (if applicable) are charged and in working order. Refer to PRESSURIZED WATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE in SECTION 3 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL.

•

Ensure that you have the proper fire extinguishers on 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. Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastics, Class B fires occur with flammable liquids such as diesel fuel, oil and grease and Class C fires apply to energized electrical equipment.

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

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

DRY CHEMICAL CLEANUP PROCEDURES Both ABC dry chemical fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems discharge a chemical powder to extinguish the fire. The chemical makeup and the small particle size of the powder as well as the force of the discharge all contribute to the fire fighting capability. These same characteristics also permit the powder to penetrate into and fully cover all components in the vicinity of the discharge.

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

The following are recommendations for the cleanup and neutralizing of areas exposed to dry chemical powder.

Workers performing this work should wear protective clothing, safety goggles and a fine particle dust mask to minimize their personal exposure to the dry chemical powder.

Ensure that all electrical systems have been completely de-energized prior to any cleanup.

1. In areas of the machine that remained cool and dry during the fire, the dry chemical will stay in powder form.

Be certain to clean these areas immediately to prevent any settled residual powder from coming into contact with moisture whether through direct contact or humidity in the air.

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. Then wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth.

2. In areas exposed to moisture, the dry chemical powder will combine with water to form a paste that is mildly acidic. Note that all surfaces covered by this dry chemical paste including electrical contacts are vulnerable to corrosive attack.

To neutralize the acidic paste on large surfaces, spray or wash these areas with a mixture of 3 parts hot water to 1 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.

Cleaning of electrical contacts should be done using an electrical contact cleaner that has no flash or fire point and is non-corrosive and non-conductive such as CRC Contact Cleaner 2000.

1.26

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.

The caked dry chemical when exposed to moisture is also mildly acidic. Therefore when the break down procedure has been completed, follow this immediately with the neutralizing procedure as described in step 2.

1. JOYSTICK - LEFT The Left Joystick is used for Track Drive and Steer functions. The drive and steer functions require very little movement of the joystick for smooth drive and steering control. Moving the joystick forward slowly and very slightly will result in forward machine movement, if the joystick is pushed forward quickly and fully the machine will lurch forward. Pull the joystick back for reverse machine movement.

To Steer the machine move the joystick slowly and slightly to the left to steer left or to the right to steer right. Moving the joystick quickly and fully in either direction will cause the machine to lurch into the turn and turn on the spot.

NOTE: Move the left joystick slowly and slightly for smooth drive and steer control.

Joystick Switches/Sliders A. Switch - Cruise Control When the machine is travelling forward, press switch once to engage cruise control, press switch again to disengage cruise control.

This warning will be displayed, alarm warning light will flash and alarm will sound when an after treatment techical fault is detected. Action to correct the problem should be taken immediately to avoid affecting engine performance and damage to the diesel oxidation catalyst /selective catalytic reduction (DOC/SCR) after treatment system components.

This warning will be displayed, alarm warning light will flash and alarm will sound when this engine has idled for more than 9 consecutive hours. Shutdown engine to prevent damage to the emission control system.

This warning results in the following derate sequence if no action is taken to correct the problem: •

• • • •

Beginning immediately after an after treatment system technical warning there will be a a ramp down of Torque by 25% over 25 minutes.

After 1 hour at reduced torque there will be a ramp down of Engine Speed by 60% and Torque by 65% over 40 minutes.

After 50 minutes at derated engine speed and torque the engine is derated to idle within 30 minutes.

Some less severe technical faults can be fixed at any time, even after then engine has been fully derated to idle speed.

More severe technical faults will result in an engine lockout when the engine has derated to idle and there have been 3 restarts (redetects). Once locked out the engine will only operate at idle. Action to correct the original cause(s) of the lockout must be taken before the engine can be reset. Contact dealer to reset engine lockout for normal operation.

Refer to COMPUTER – MESSAGES CRITICAL – ENGINE LOCKED OUT and ENGINE RESTARTS REMAINING UNTIL ENGINE LOCKOUT in THIS SECTION.

Identify the cause of the technical failure and take action to correct the problem.

IMPORTANT !

Engine should not idle longer than 9 consecutive hours. Damage to the emission control system will result. When this machine idles for an extended period excess hydrocarbon buildup is created in the DOC/SCR after treatment system. Burn off of excess hydrocarbon at full load immediately after a long idle period will generate excess heat which will cause damage to emission control system components.

Controls and Operation ERROR MESSAGES (RED)

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

Error messages advise the operator that a critical machine fault is about to occur or a system fault has occurred.

Error messages are computer system generated and are generally triggered by computer system error and fault related conditions.

Error messages have the second highest level of priority and are used to alert operator that immediate action must be taken to prevent damage to machine or to ensure operator safety.

A list of some types of ERROR MESSAGES is as follows:

Error messages are activated whenever a fault such as an electrical connection is broken/ disconnected. Most error messages are due to computer system hardware or connection faults.

Module No Contact Error Module VREF Error Voltage Input Error (VIN)

When an error message is displayed, the master alarm and alarm light will sound and flash continuously. The message remains on the screen until the operator hides it.

Digital Input Error (DIN)

The message will give brief details of the fault and advise what action is necessary.

* Note that not all error messages are shown.

Digital Output Error (DOUT) Current Output Error (COUT)

In some instances the machine requires immediate action to correct the problem which requires the operator to STOP machine operation, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF and service the machine to correct the problem.

However, if the machine cannot be stopped immediately for safety reasons, the operator can hide the message. In this instance the machine should only be operated long enough to move the machine to a safe location then STOP machine operation and SHUT THE ENGINE OFF before serious machine damage can occur!

Messages are acknowledged by pressing the F2 button (OK). To recall active messages turn key off and on. On screen messages will indicate to the operator that an active hardware fault has been hidden.

Error messages flash the critical symbol

or the

above the F4 button when active messages are hidden depending on the type of error message. The symbol will continue to flash until the problem is resolved and the fault becomes inactive.

This rubber valve on the tube of the air cleaner housing should be checked before every shift (8 hrs). If this valve is missing, damaged or has turned hard, it will cause the air cleaner to become ineffective. The valve should be replaced every 1000 Hours.

The engine air precleaner cleans engine air before it reaches the air cleaner filter elements.

It removes contaminants such as dust, powder, insects, rain and snow. This precleaner is self powered and self cleaning requiring virtually no maintenance. However, it should be checked periodically to make sure that foreign materials have not plugged the intake area or the exhaust port area.

HOW IT WORKS 1. Dirty air (1) enters the Precleaner, which is clamped onto the engine air intake.

2. Specially-designed vanes (2) , curved and angled to precisely direct air flow, move the dirty air toward the stainless steel impeller (3).

3. The dynamically balanced, one piece impeller (3) (only moving part) creates a tornado inside the housing.

4. The centrifugal force of the tornado expels the heavier than air dirt particles (4), chaff, dust, snow, rain, etc., out the discharge louver 5. Cleaned air (5) enters the engine air cleaner intake pipe, and the filter element has only the very light particles to remove.

RESULTS • Cleaner Air for The Engine!

• Longer Filter Element Life!

• Increased Engine Life!

• Increased Engine Performance!

• Reduced Operating Costs!

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.

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 will impair the fan's ability to remove dust and dirt particles when the air flow is reversed.

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.

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

Controls and Operation CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS IN CAB

Tigercat 470 Mulcher •

Some 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.

Polycarbonate material is expected to resist heavy impact and to absorb high levels of energy when contacted by high velocity thrown objects such as wood chips, cutter tools or stones.

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. It is important to note that cracks, chips, notches or scarring anywhere on the viewing surface or edges of the window will decrease ability to resist heavy impacts and therefore compromise effectiveness as operator safety protective equipment. Windows with these defects must be replaced immediately.

Refer to the next section for detailed information regarding inspection and maintenance of polycarbonate windows.

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

• 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 edges of the polycarbonate window must be free from cracks, chips, notches or scarring and must not be pinched or stressed. These defects will decrease ability to resist heavy impacts. Windows with these defects must be replaced immediately.

• Cracks, chips, notches or scarring anywhere on the viewing surface of the window will decrease ability to resist heavy impacts.

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 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.

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 • ammonia • anti-freeze • benzene • brake fluid • carbon tetrachloride • cutting oils • gasoline • lacquer thinner • toluene • turpentine • xylene RESISTANCE TO WATER Polycarbonate material has good resistance to water up to approximately 65°C (150°F). Above this temperature the effect of water is timetemperature related. This means that the higher the water temperature, the shorter the time before the polycarbonate is adversely affected.

Exposing polycarbonate to repeated steam cleanings 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.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTIONS

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.

•

DO NOT use abusive cleaning procedures either by hand or pressure washing on polycarbonate windows.

•

DO NOT use brushes, razor blades, scrapers, squeegees or other sharp tools on polycarbonate windows.

•

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.

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: • Fantastik • Formula 409 • Hexcel F.O. 554 • Joy • Lysol • Mr. Clean • Neleco-Placer • Pine-Sol • 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.

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

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

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

Refer also to RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS for a list of chemicals which should not be permitted to come into contact with polycarbonate windows.

2.121

Controls and Operation

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

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.

WINDOW SCREEN HANDKNOB

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 also to RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS 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.

173-25

SIDE WINDOW SCREEN

SIDE WINDOW SCREENS The side window screens (if equipped) can be removed to clean the windows. Screens are provided for the personal protection of the operator and must be reinstalled immediately after cleaning the windows.

A handknob is provided on both the inside and the outside. By unscrewing either (not both) of these knobs, the screen will be free to swing out on the hinges. Be aware that the screen will swing outwards with considerable force, if the door is open.

All handles should be hand tight only at all times.

TIGERCAT OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM Using the Tigercat Advanced Oil Analysis Program on a regular basis is an excellent preventative maintenance tool. Oil sampling cost is at the owner’s expense, however, studies have shown that it is possible to receive a 10 to 1 payback when looking at the amount saved on repair costs to the amount invested in a scheduled oil analysis program. Some of the benefits of a sampling program include: •

Detect problems early before they become major catastrophic failures.

•

Better ability to schedule downtime and forecast cost of repairs.

•

Monitor maintenance schedules and practices and confirm that the required maintenance is being done on time.

•

Increase used equipment value by providing proof of proper maintenance.

This Program uses the most modern technology available to analyse all oil 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. This report is available as a mailed or faxed hardcopy, sent via e-mail or can be viewed on the internet.

This program will provide Tigercat machine owners access to an Advanced Oil Analysis Program for all major machine components including powertrain components, specifically hydrostatic pump and motors, boom/steer pump, axles, transfer case, pump drive gearbox, etc.

TIGERCAT OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM Hydraulic Oil Samples:

OIL SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES Fill out the Sample Information Form (SIF) completely and accurately. When taking multiple oil samples, fill out all of the required SIF forms in their entirety, prior to taking any oil samples. Then, immediately package each completed SIF form together with the matching oil 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 forms and oil samples. Incorrectly identified samples could result in a false warning alarm.

HYDRAULIC SAMPLE VALVE

The accuracy of the lab analysis results is very dependent on the quality of the oil sample taken. Collection of clean oil samples that are representative of the main body of oil are essential if meaningful lab results are to be obtained.

•

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.

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 follow-up samples should be consistently taken from the same location using the same techniques as all previous samples.

•

To obtain a representative oil sample, sample valves must be purged before the actual oil sample is taken. Drain a minimum of 3 or 4 ounces of oil into a separate container and discard this oil using approved recycling methods.

•

Replace the dust cover on the sample valve immediately after taking the oil sample and sealing the sample bottle.

•

Ensure that all sample valves and drain plugs are clean and free of debris.

•

Remove the sample bottle cap only when ready to take 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. All samples taken should be immediately forwarded to the lab for processing.

Gearbox Samples:

DRAIN PLUG

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

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

3.5

•

These samples can be taken during the oil change process.

•

To obtain a representative oil sample, ensure the oil is warm and has not settled very long (within 30 minutes of shutdown).

•

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

•

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 CAUTION All handles, steps and platforms must be kept free of grease, oil, fuel, mud, snow, ice and forest debris to prevent risk of personal injury. þ 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. Should any exhaust leaks occur during operation, the machine must be shut down immediately and not put back to work until the necessary repairs have been completed. þ Before welding on machine be sure master switch is disconnected and disconnect multi pin connectors on engine CPU and engine wiring harness. þ When welding secure ground connection as close to working position as possible to prevent arcing across machined surfaces or through bearings. þ Clean away all branches, bark and chips.

Clean up all traces of oil to avoid fires. þ Always have a fire extinguisher at hand. þ For safety, always lower boom assembly to the ground when leaving cab, leaving machine unattended or during service. þ For safety, before working under boom, always lower to ground, support properly or install lift boom cylinder locking device . (Refer to section 2 of this manual)

þ Clean around filler caps before checking or adding fluids. þ Release hydraulic pressures and clean around hydraulic fittings before breaking connection.

Plug or cap immediately. þ Clean up spills as soon as possible. þ Always use clean hydraulic oil and filters. þ Drain dirty oil while still warm. þ Do not exceed recommended fluid levels. þ Service all hydraulic filters after the failure of a pump, motor, cylinder or valve. Failures of this nature could contaminate the entire hydraulic system. þ Top up diesel fuel at end of each shift to reduce contamination by condensation. þ Clean up oil spills on walking surfaces and top of engine enclosure immediately. þ 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. Should any exhaust leaks or defective parts be found, repairs must be made immediately. Engine exhaust leaks can cause fires, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until the exhaust leak is repaired.

GENERAL FIRE PREVENTION Maintaining your machine properly will greatly extend its life and reduce your operating costs.

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

CHECK EMERGENCY EXITS, DAILY:~ An alternate exit route is provided: • Right hand cab door.

• Roof Hatch.

CHECK FIRE EXTINGUISHER, DAILY:~

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 could have re-positioned itself onto the engine and exhaust parts due to wind turbulence caused by the journey.

CHECK CHARGE GAUGE DAILY

1. Pine needles and bark when allowed to accumulate, form a fuel source that when ignited is extremely difficult to extinguish. 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.

2. Pay close attention to wiring and plumbing routings during maintenance, ensure that ALL wiring harnesses or hydraulic hoses are properly restrained and clamped to prevent damage from chaffing.

3. If equipped, read the fire suppression system manual and have the system serviced regularly by qualified personnel.

4. In case of fire lower the boom system to the ground and shut off the engine before discharging the fire suppression system.

Also refer to FIRE PREVENTION in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL for additional information.

470-083

A portable fire extinguisher is located in operator's cab. The extinguisher should be checked daily to ensure that it is charged. The pointer on the charge gauge should point to the green region.

If the indicator falls out of this green area, the extinguisher should be serviced immediately.

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.

NOTE: Changing strainers, filters and replacing the hydraulic oil tends to aerate the oil. For maximum pump life, the machine should sit for 1 hour after servicing to allow entrained air to escape from the oil prior to applying working pressures to the pumps.

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

Tigercat 470 Mulcher FILTERS - REMOVE AND REPLACE IMPORTANT! Failure to service and replace filters at the proper intervals specified in the manufacturer's manuals, could cause damage to the machine and result in the product warranty becoming NULL and VOID. Check Tigercat parts catalog for replacement filters.

Refer to the engine manufacturer's operation and maintenance manual for correct procedures and time intervals when servicing the engine oil and fuel filters. Read and understand the SAFETY section in each of these manuals.

If the fuel supply is dirty, the fuel filter must be replaced more frequently than recommended in the owner’s manual. Operating the machine with a clogged fuel filter will result in low engine power. It is also recommended that the fuel/water separator bowl be drained daily.

When installing a new fuel filter, DO NOT pre-fill with diesel fuel, or engine fuel pump damage will result. This type of failure is not warrantable by the engine manufacturer.

Unfiltered fuel used to pre-fill filters enters directly into the fuel system. Contaminants in unfiltered fuel can cause significant and costly damage to the engine. The cleanliness of fuel cannot be guaranteed unless it is always pre-filtered before use.

IMPORTANT! Filters that are an integral part of the engine (fuel and lubricating oil) should be serviced and replaced according to the engine manufacturer's operation and maintenance manual.

The return oil entering the hydraulic tank passes through four replaceable filters mounted on filter heads beside the tank and two mesh type reusable strainers one on the end of each return tube in the tank.

There is a bypass valve built into each filter head preset at 25 psi (1.7 bar), which will open in the event the elements become restricted. Before this valve is activated, a 20 psi (1.4 bar) filter restriction switch, located on the return manifold, will generate a critical message on the computer screen.

Return Oil Filters Bypassed. Slowly warm up machine or service if already warm..

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 valves, pumps and motors.

The cleanliness of hydraulic oil cannot be guaranteed unless it is always prefiltered before use.

Changing the filters: 1. Park the machine on level ground with the attachment resting on the ground. Stop engine.

2. Turn the BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH to the ‘OFF’ position.

3. The filters can be accessed through the RH hydraulic compartment door or the access panel behind the cab.

To access the filters from behind the cab, tilt the cab to the fully raised position. SEE CAB TILT, RAISING THE CAB in SECTION 2 OF THE OPERATOR'S MANUAL. Remove the four bolts securing the return filter access panel and remove the panel.

OVER CENTER LATCH 470-075

470-078

The air cleaner on this machine uses two filter elements; a primary element and a safety element.

Accessible through a hinged service panel on 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 filter restriction switch is installed on the air cleaner, the switch is used to signal the MD3 computer when the filter is restricted.

A mechanical filter restriction indicator is connected to the outlet side of the air filter.

Replace the primary air filter when the indicator shows RED. This indicator provides a continuous reading whether the engine is running or is shut down. After replacing the filter, reset the indicator by pressing the reset button.

NOTE: Replace the safety element every third primary filter change.

The most common and damaging servicing problems are: OVER SERVICING

Engine Air Intake Filter Restricted. Service Machine to correct.

An alert warning message will appear on the MD3 display to indicate the engine air intake filter is restricted. Replace the primary air filter element if the alert message is displayed. Replace the secondary (safety) filter every third primary filter change to guarantee maximum performance and reliability.

Filter elements increase in dust cleaning efficiency as dust builds up on the media. Looks can be deceiving. A filter that looks dirty may actually be 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: This does not apply to hydraulic oil or diesel engine oil 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 are 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 INTAKE TUBING AND JOINTS Check all air intake system components, rubber elbows, connector hoses, tubes and clamps for damage, hardening, wear, cracks, leaks, loose clamps or loose hanger bracket hardware and repair or replace immediately.

SAFETY ELEMENT

Replace all air intake rubber components such as elbows and connectors every 2000 hours - High temperatures in this area can cause the rubber to harden.

AIR FILTER ELEMENTS

IMPORTANT STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN CHANGING FILTER ELEMENTS 1. Release the six overcenter latches and lift cover/dust bowl off of air cleaner assembly .

UNLOADER VALVE

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.

470-078

This rubber valve on the tube of the air cleaner housing should be checked before every shift (8 hrs). If this valve is missing, damaged or has turned hard, it will cause the air cleaner to become ineffective. The valve should be replaced every 1000 Hours.

4. Always clean the inside of the outlet tube.

5. Check your old filter sealing surfaces. This will 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.

Remove the unloader valve from the tube of the air cleaner housing. A good valve is soft and flexible.

Check and clean the valve. If it was plugged, then check the filter elements as they may need to be replaced as well. Reattach the valve to the tube.

The valve should suck closed at about 1/3 of full throttle. When operating in high dust conditions this valve should be checked and squeezed frequently to release dust buildup.

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 an air tight fit.

Ensure that all clamps, bolts and connections are tight. Check rubber elbows intake tubing and joints for hardening cracks, splits or wear points and replace as needed. Leaks in these locations send dust directly to the engine.

ENGINE AIR PRECLEANER 3

3 4

2 1 5

480-017

The engine air precleaner cleans engine air before it reaches the air cleaner filter elements.

It removes contaminants such as dust, powder, insects, rain and snow. This precleaner is self powered and self cleaning requiring virtually no maintenance. However, it should be checked periodically to make sure that foreign materials have not plugged the intake area or the exhaust port area.

HOW IT WORKS 1. Dirty air (1) enters the Precleaner, which is clamped onto the engine air intake.

2. Specially-designed vanes (2) , curved and angled to precisely direct air flow, move the dirty air toward the stainless steel impeller (3).

3. The dynamically balanced, one piece impeller (3) (only moving part) creates a tornado inside the housing.

4. The centrifugal force of the tornado expels the heavier than air dirt particles (4), chaff, dust, snow, rain, etc., out the discharge louver 5. Cleaned air (5) enters the engine air cleaner intake pipe, and the filter element has only the very light particles to remove.

RESULTS • Cleaner Air for The Engine!

• Longer Filter Element Life!

• Increased Engine Life!

• Increased Engine Performance!

• Reduced Operating Costs!

Tigercat 470 Mulcher DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST / SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION AFTER TREATMENT SYSTEM (DENOX 2.2 SYSTEM - TIER 4 FINAL)

Lubrication and Maintenance

NOTICE

The engine on this machine is equipped with a combination Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and high efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after treatment system to limit the nitrogen oxide exhaust gas values (NOX) to meet Tier 4 Final emission standard requirements with low fuel consumption. This process is electronically controlled by the DENOX 2.2 system.

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 vapor (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 after treatment 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 vapor (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.

• DO NOT IDLE THIS ENGINE FOR MORE THAN 9 HOURS. • DAMAGE TO EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WILL RESULT.

IMPORTANT !

Engine should not idle longer than 9 consecutive hours. Damage to the emission control system will result. When this machine idles for an extended period excess hydrocarbon buildup is created in the DOC/SCR after treatment system. Burn off of excess hydrocarbon at full load immediately after a long idle period will generate excess heat which will cause damage to emission control system components.

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.

DOC/SCR AFTER TREATMENT SYSTEM

The DOC/SCR after treatment system is electronically managed by the DENOX 2.2 system incorporated into the engine control unit (ECU).

The ECU calculates and adjusts the flow rate of the DEF solution into the system based on current engine speed, 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 vapor (H2O). It also converts nitrogen oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which enhances the performance of the SCR catalyst.

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

The exhaust gasses and ammonia at the proper reaction temperature, are introduced into the catalytic converter, 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 vapor (H2O).

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

The supply module pump picks up the DEF solution from the tank and sends it under pressure 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 first part of the catalytic converter: high temperature exhaust gas evaporates the DEF solution instantly and, by hydrolysis, converts it into ammonia (2NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Tigercat 470 Mulcher TRACK OPERATION AND WEAR PREVENTION

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.

Lubrication and Maintenance Alternate turning directions.

If you're always 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. To ensure even wear, pay attention to the way you're turning and change directions whenever possible.

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.

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.

Inspect the undercarriage before you start working.

In addition to ensuring that 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.

Other factors: Application refers to the type of work you do.

Mulching, 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.

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.

3.43

Tigercat 470 Mulcher

Lubrication and Maintenance

Configuration refers to the way your machine is equipped and is therefore something you can control. To minimize undercarriage wear on steel-track machines, always use the narrowest track shoe possible that meets your flotation requirements. If you work in very sticky materials, consider using center-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 always 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.

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.

4. Measure distance between tip of the grouser and the bottom surface of the straight edge between the track rollers as shown.

5. This dimension should be between 32mm and 41mm (1¼" - 15/8") for normal operations.

860C-320

6. Repeat this procedure for the opposite track.

NOTE: If track sag is less than specified, track chain wear will be accelerated. If track sag is excessive, it is possible for the track to jump off the sprocket. Refer to TRACK SAG ADJUSTMENT in THIS SECTION for track chain tension adjustment procedure.

TRACK ADJUSTMENT

TORQUE PROCEDURE

TRACK SAG ADJUSTMENT

•

Incorrect bolt torque is the leading cause of shoe loosening

•

Torque + turn is the shoe bolts assembly method.

To tighten track, attach adjustment fitting adapter (3) onto valve body (1). Connect a grease gun to the grease fitting (2) on the adjustment fitting adapter (3). Add grease until track sag dimension is within recommended limits. Remove adjustment fitting adapter.

-

Provides controlled stretch of the bolt, about 0.3 mm (0.01 in.). It is the stretch that prevents the bolt from coming loose.

-

Provides up to 25% more clamp load than straight torque.

-

It is not influenced by friction / condition of mating components.

The method is also used on other critical joints, such as sprocket, master sections, final drives.

Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS in SECTION 11 of the SERVICE MANUAL.

CAUTION: The grease is under very high pressure, DO NOT REMOVE the adjustment fitting valve body (1) from the idler adjusting cylinder (4).

To loosen track, slowly loosen valve body (1) until grease begins to escape via a relief passage in the valve body housing, grease will be seen escaping from around valve body threads. When track sag is correct, tighten valve body.

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 on to 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.

The 4-Bolt Split Flange consists of four main components: • A body (flange head) • An O-ring • One “captive” or two “split” flange clamps

• Four bolts and washer

WASHERS BOLTS FLANGE CLAMP

Flange Port Assembly

FLANGE HEAD

The steps to properly assemble the flange port clamping bolts are: 1. Make sure sealing surfaces are free of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign particles.

2. Lubricate the O-ring.

3. Position flange and clamp halves.

4. Place lock washers on bolts and insert through clamp halves.

5. Hand tighten bolts.

6. Torque bolts in diagonal sequence (see Fig. T9) in small increments to the appropriate torque level listed in Table T6 or Table T7 on this page.
