Safety

WARNING

• When the engine is running, do not allow anyone in areas of the machine where they may be crushed by moving components. • Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine and other personnel. Never operate the boom or attachment over the heads of bystanders. • Never travel near co-workers or other pieces of equipment with attachments running. • Do not allow people or other pieces of equipment near the harvesting operation. • Do not turn on the attachment until the machine is at the harvesting site.

WARNING

• Use only prearranged and approved signalling practices. • Do not open the skylight or the cab doors to increase ventilation when operating the machine. • Keep the cab doors closed when driving or steering the machine to prevent accidental entry of branches and debris into the cab.

• Keep the cab doors closed and always use the seat belt when driving or steering the machine to prevent being thrown from the cab. • Secure loose items in the cab.

• Prior to commencing work, check all equipment controls to ensure the machine responds correctly. • All safety screens and guards, must be installed and properly secured. • Always rest the attachment on the ground when operation is stopped, regardless if the engine is running or turned OFF. • Operate the machine only from a seated position in the operator seat. • Watch for ground hazards such as metal debris, wire fencing or rocks. • When travelling, position the attachment and the boom to avoid visual impairment. • If vision is limited by dust, smoke, fog, rain or snow, stop the machine until visibility is restored. • If the saw guard has been installed, DO NOT

REMOVE it until you arrive at the cutting site.

Remove the guard before starting engine.

CAUTION

Do not open the cab doors when the cab is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force. Anyone in the path of the swing could be injured. Anyone opening the door or screen and holding on to it could be pulled out of the cab and injured.

MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION

When working on slopes, travel straight up or down the slope to reduce the risk of roll-over. NEVER travel across a STEEP slope or side hill: • As logs are added to the accumulator pocket, the handling and the stability of the machine will change. • To avoid tip over, keep the felling head as low as possible to maintain a low center of gravity. • Always be prepared to dump the load in case of an emergency. • Do not overload the machine as this can create an unstable condition and cause a roll-over.

• Check for correct tire air pressure. If the pressure is too low it will result in swaying. If the pressure is too high it will result in bouncing. Refer to TIRE

PRESSURES in SECTION 3.
