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

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher

Introduction

STANDARDS FOR MACHINE OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES THIS OPERATOR ENCLOSURE MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: • ISO 8082-1:2009 ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS) • ISO 8083:2006 FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS) • ISO 8084:2003 OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS)

MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS The integrity of the 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 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.

Approval will be granted, provided 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 industry 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 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, 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

WORKING WITH OIL

SAFETY HAZARDS – VITON SEALS

Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints (example: eczema). Always observe strict hygiene.

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).

Observe the following when working with oil: • Oils used in this machine may be hot enough to cause serious burns.

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

• Avoid contact with oil, particularly heated oil.

• Oil on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water.

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

• Wear protective gloves. Hands should be clean before putting on gloves. Apply protective cream to the hands to make washing easier.

• Visually inspect any seals or gaskets which have suffered from heat damage. They will appear black and sticky. If these are found, DO NOT TOUCH!

• Don't put oily rags in your pockets.

• Determine the material composition of any seals or gaskets, If fluoroelastomer 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.

• Oil soiled clothing should be changed as soon as possible.

• Always keep an extra overall handy, but not in the machine where it can become dirty.

• Cuts and abrasions must be attended to immediately. Clean them and apply first-aid.

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

• Avoid breathing in oil fumes.

• Wash hands and arms frequently, for example, at each meal break or as often as possible.

• Any cloths, residue 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.

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.

• 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.

• Never start the machine if the saw blade has missing teeth or teeth retaining bolts, or a bent saw disc.

• Do not use the attachment for any purpose other than the intended felling function.

• Shut down the machine immediately if vibration occurs during cutting.

Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine, the workers and all other personnel. It is the duty of the operator to ensure no person approaches the machine while in use.

• Check the saw discharge area is clear and undamaged.

Failure to follow the above instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• When moving from tree to tree with the saw blade turning, take care not to make contact with other vegetation or debris.

• Never use this machine to clear a logging deck on a new tract of timber when the rest of the equipment and operators are also moving in. Preplan to clear decks in advance before other equipment arrives.

• Do not overload the felling head.

• Work within your operating skills and do not attempt to cut down a tree too large for the felling head.

• Never work alone. Regularly inform other crew members of your intentions, location and length of time to perform duties.

• Make sure the chip discharge area of the felling head (where applicable) is not directed at people, livestock, buildings or other machines.

• Stop the saw blade before leaving the cutting area.

• Properly position the felling head in front of the tree and make sure the saw blade is running at full rpm when cutting.

NOTE: The saw blade will continue to free wheel for several minutes after the saw switch has been turned OFF.

• Always know and control the direction the tree will fall to prevent injury to co-workers or damage other vehicles.

• To stop the blade from rotating, CAREFULLY and gently lower the saw blade onto a stump to prevent unnecessary loading of the saw blade, saw housing and bearings.

• Watch out for obstacles in your path when backing away from a cut.

• Always travel with the felling head as close to the ground as possible. Never elevate the felling head unless necessary.

FLUID INJECTION INJURY 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 occurs, 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.

Safety 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.

SEARCHING FOR POSSIBLE FLUID LEAKS: • DO NOT search for leaks with your bare hands.

ALWAYS wear thick protective gloves.

• ALWAYS wear safety goggles for eye protection.

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

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.

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

• Place the end of a long piece of wood in the suspected path of any fluid stream. DO NOT use any part of your body.

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.

• 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.

• DO NOT grab any hydraulic or diesel fuel connectors or hoses when they are subjected to pressure.

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

• DO NOT use any hoses that you suspect could be defective.

Safety

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher

GREASE INJECTION INJURY WHEN USING PNEUMATIC GREASE GUNS 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.

• Install protective shrouds 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

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.

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.

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

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.

• 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 feet) within the soil around the strike point.

• 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.

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.

• 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 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.

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 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher 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 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.

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.

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

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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE AND SEE LIGHTNING OR HEAR THUNDER IF YOU CAN, GET INSIDE:

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

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.

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

• Avoid entering any small enclosures or shelters.

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

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

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

• 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.

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

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

• Do not use the telephone except for emergencies.

1.24

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher

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, call for professional medical help immediately and then begin administering appropriate first aid. Use a portable defibrillator if one is available (as required).

• 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.

FIRE PREVENTION

When working in a forest environment, it is impossible to prevent combustible debris from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This debris 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.

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: • Maintain a CHARGED fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT. • 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 COOLER PACKAGE, CLEANING in SECTION 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 smoulder. If dislodged this smouldering debris can fall into other areas of the machine and thereby spread a fire.

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher • 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.

• 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.

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

• Steam clean the engine, hydraulic pumps, transmission, brake, fuel and hydraulic tank compartments and all machine belly pans at least once a month or more frequently when working in logging conditions where large amounts of combustible forest debris are present.

• Use only non-flammable solutions for cleaning the machine and components.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• DO NOT leave the machine parked with boom, arch or blade suspended off the ground. If Supporting hydraulic hoses that burn through during a fire, will inject pressurized hydraulic oil into the fire causing the boom, arch or blade to fall rapidly to the ground.

• Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF at shut down to de-energize all electrical circuits.

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher • Remain with the machine for at least 45 minutes at the end of operations while the machine cools.

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

Safety WHAT TO DO TO PREPARE FOR A MACHINE FIRE • Prevent the fire from happening in the first place by ensuring that all machine systems are frequently inspected and always well maintained.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Make sure the nozzle of any hand held extinguisher and pressurized water system available on the machine and at the work site fits within the fire extinguisher access holes in the doors of the machine.

• 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.

• Ensure that your fire detection system* is in working order. Refer to FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM in SECTION 2.

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

• Ensure that your fire suppression system** is charged and in working order. Refer to FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM in SECTION 2.

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

• Ensure that you are familiar with the recommended procedures for fire contained in the emergency action plan of your company.

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

• Ensure that you follow all national, state/provincial and local regulations dealing with fire fighting in effect in your specific geographic region. Regulations will vary from region to region but most will usually require that:

NOTICE Equipment fires adversely effect your ability to log, may increase your insurance premiums dramatically or prevent you from obtaining insurance coverage at all.

• Workers assigned to fire fighting duties must be physically capable of performing them safely and effectively.

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

1.27

Safety • 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.

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

• After you have received the training as outlined above, you must know how to use the fire extinguisher, the pressurized water system (if applicable) and the fire suppression system** on your machine. There is not enough time available to read instructions during a fire emergency.

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher 6. If possible a dry chemical fire extinguisher or fire suppression system** should be used first to fight a machine fire. Then 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 any debris or hot machine components in the area. The water will cool the area, reducing the chances of re-ignition.

• Use the PASS method. This is the most effective use of a fire extinguisher.

• Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the handle from being pressed. Break the plastic seal as the pin is pulled.

• All information necessary for you to immediately contact all sources of help (local fire department, etc) in the event of a fire emergency must be recorded and readily available at all times.

• Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Do not aim the nozzle at the flames. In order to put out the fire, you must extinguish the fuel, not the flames. Hose nozzles are often clipped to the extinguisher body. Release the hose before taking aim.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A MACHINE FIRE OCCURS If operating the machine when a fire occurs:

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

1. Lower all working attachments to the ground.

2. Turn OFF the engine.

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

3. Activate the fire suppression system**.

4. Radio or call for help. Be certain to report a fire immediately.

5. Exit the machine taking fire extinguisher and pressurized water system hose (if applicable) with you.

6. At all times ensure your own personal safety and the safety of anyone that may be in the area. Approach any fire with extreme caution. All fires can be very dangerous and life threatening.

7. Only if you can safely do so, turn OFF the battery disconnect switch.

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

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

700068

Typical Fire Extinguisher Access Hole

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

• Place the nozzle of the fire extinguisher into the appropriate fire extinguisher access hole and discharge the extinguisher.

4. If in any doubt about whether or not to fight the fire – DON’T. Instead stand well clear of the fire and wait for help to arrive.

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

• Failing all attempts to access the machine compartment, discharge the extinguisher through the mesh or any available openings on the machine.

5. Be aware that, hoses containing engine coolant, diesel fuel or hydraulic hoses could fail during a fire.

If this happens, hot coolant, fuel or oil could possibly be ignited by the fire.

1.28

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher

Safety

• Ensure the machine and all components have cooled down sufficiently after a fire to prevent re-ignition from occurring.

• Remain with the machine until help arrives.

WHAT TO DO AFTER A MACHINE FIRE HAS OCCURRED Before returning the machine to work: 1. Ensure the cause of the fire is determined and all appropriate repairs are completed.

• 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.

• In areas exposed to moisture, the dry chemical powder will combine with water to form a paste that is mildly acidic.

2. Ensure the fire detection system* or the fire suppression system** is properly serviced and in working order (if applicable).

NOTE: All surfaces covered by this dry chemical paste including electrical contacts are vulnerable to corrosive attack.

3. Replace or recharge all extinguishers used in fighting the fire.

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 noncorrosive and non-conductive such as CRC Contact Cleaner 2000.

• Notify your equipment dealer and/or Tigercat Industries Inc. by completing an incident report, Tigercat form number 5101. *NOTE: Fire detection systems are offered by Tigercat as an optional installation on some Tigercat product lines. Please disregard any references made to fire detection systems if not installed on your machine. **NOTE: Dry chemical fire suppression systems are offered by Tigercat as an optional installation on some Tigercat product lines. Please disregard any references made to fire suppression systems if not installed on your machine.

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.

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

1.29

• In areas exposed to heat during the fire, the dry chemical powder will melt 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. 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.

Track Feller Buncher – Sudden Machine Movement May Cause and Unexpected Throw at the Cab

Tigercat wheel feller bunchers and track feller bunchers can be supplied with several optional makes and models of high speed disc saw tree felling heads. Because each head has unique characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, they are chosen based on the specific types of work they were designed to complete.

Tigercat

Using High-Speed Disc Saws Safely

STORED ENERGY

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS

The saw blade stores energy from the hydraulic motor between tree cuts so it can supply up to 1000 hp during a one second tree cut. However, this rotational energy, if misapplied, can result in wood materials or other objects being thrown strongly enough to cause damage and injure people.

All instructions contained in the operator and service manuals for use and maintenance of Tigercat disc saw heads and other disc saw heads installed on Tigercat machines must be read, understood and followed.

BE AWARE OF THE HAZARDS

Here are the most common means by which a rotating disc saw can cause harm by throwing:

DANGERS

Users of machines with disc saw felling heads must be aware of all safety precautions. In this section, some previously unknown, unexpected safety hazards are illustrated and explained. These should be studied before use of the machine and then reviewed again after use has begun.

• The normal throwing of chips from the cut.

• Soil particles are thrown from the ground.

• Loose chunks of wood encountered or produced are tossed by the exposed blade.

• Sticks and debris falling onto the blade or sliding across the blade are struck by the teeth and thrown.

SAFE PRACTICES It is understood and expected that logging organizations and operators must develop and practice additional rules to suit particular conditions of terrain, trees, soil and job requirements. The information provided in this section is intended to assist towards a quicker understanding of how and why things can happen when a high speed disc saw is in use and to assist in the development of safe operating practices.

• Metal pieces from the blade or from encountered objects are thrown.

• Wood pieces enter the saw housing and are expelled by the blade.

• In very peculiar cases the saw can throw long lengths of wood as spears.

It should not be assumed that all possible dangers have been discovered and described in this section.

SAW13

A Throw Angle

SAW17

Saw Housing with Snouts B Snouts

This commonly used saw housing is designed with a continuous skirt around the saw except at a mouth opening where the trees are cut and taken. The skirt extends below the saw enough to intercept tangential throws. There are snouts on both sides of the mouth to prevent the saw teeth from making contact with the wood if pushed against the side of a felled tree or log.

SAW12

A Throw Angle B Long Snout

SAW18

Saw Housing with a Longer Snout on the housing Ingoing Side C Short Snout

This housing has a much longer snout on the ingoing side of the mouth, i.e., where the teeth of the rotating blade are entering the housing. The broad side of a log, if nudged, will not contact the saw teeth and more thrown material will be intercepted by the extra length of the snout.

SAW20

A SAW26

Saw Housing with Additional Opening

D Opening in Housing Skirt E Guard for Chip Escape Port in Housing

This housing incorporates an additional opening (chip escape port) in the housing skirt to allow for the discharge of wood chips produced by the saw teeth in the cut and being taken into the housing.

A guard is available to close the chip escape port so tangential travel of chips and other material is intercepted as soon as it leaves the housing.

The various housing types show a shaded area where normally tangentially thrown material can escape from the saw housing. Deflected and dropped chips escaping below the bottom edge of the housing skirt are not included. The areas and angles are not exact but do show that one head can be different from another.

IMPORTANT! The operator must be familiar with the blade rotation direction, the effectiveness of any snout on the in-going side and which direction a chip escape port allows material to discharge.

A.6

Tigercat

Using High-Speed Disc Saws Safely

COMMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL DANGERS ON THE JOB SITE

RECOGNIZING THE DANGERS

The extent of danger from high speed disc saws on a logging operation must be assessed on the job site, depending on how much other work activity is in the area and whether the operator can do their job of cutting and bunching with good control of throw patterns. Danger is greater if the saw is equipped with detachable, or fragile, or brittle teeth, or if the site contains stones or abandoned metal.

While it may appear the illustrated danger areas (throw angle) can be visually recognized on the job by observing how far chips are discharged during a cut, this only holds true for chips and other light weight materials.

Metal parts and wooden spears can be thrown to surprisingly greater distances. Even distant personnel on the ground, in other vehicles, or in buildings are at risk if the throw is in their direction.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

DIRECTION OF THROW

Poor saw maintenance increases possible dangers.

Some designs, that might allow fasteners to wear thin or fatigue and suddenly break, need thorough timely replacement procedures. It is important the warning signs of missing saw tooth parts or the sounds of striking rocks be heeded and the operation adjusted to avoid danger.

The direction of possible tangential throw for metal parts and stones is dependent on the housing configuration and might be expected to be the same as observed for the chips. However, these throws can occur at any time the saw is running, in whichever direction the throw angle is pointed by boom geometry, and not just when a cut is being made.

THROW DISTANCE The throw distance for metal pieces and stones, can be many times the distance shown by the pattern for chips.

More testing and data collection is needed to pin down a 'safe distance' but if someone or something is in a place that can be seen by the operator and in the throw direction of a high speed disc saw, then the operation is not safe regardless of the distance.

SAFE OPERATING AREAS These saw heads must not be used in areas where the logging operation does not have control over the presence and movement of people. In particular, clearing of vegetation in urban and populated areas should not be done with a Tigercat manufactured or supplied high speed disc saw. High speed disc saw heads are intended for high productivity wood harvesting in areas remote from normal habitation. The possible presence of people and property within throw range and the likelihood of encountering scrap metal, wire fencing, steel posts and concrete must be respected.

A Long Snout on Outgoing Side

B Discharge Paths

It is essential that the housing have a long snout on the ingoing side and, if equipped with a chip escape port, it should be guarded.

With these high mechanical freedom arrangements, there is a chance that an unforeseeable operator misadventure or equipment failure could result in an accidental direct or deflected throw at the operators cab. The cab should be capable of resisting such accidental and ricochet throws. The velocity energy of metal or rock pieces leaving the blade is extremely high. The operators cab cannot be considered safe to routinely operate in the chip throw area, even if it has been constructed to prevent penetration by accidentally thrown objects.

THROWING LONG WOOD PIECES

A

Dangers from throws of long wood pieces are illustrated throughout this portion of the document.

Tests and experience have shown that, when a high speed rotating saw is applied to a loose piece of wood, the wood is either blown or pushed away, without a throw.

C

If the wood is held firmly in all directions, and the saw is advanced into the wood at any feed speed, cutting will take place. If the wood is only restrained against the saw radially, but not restrained tangentially, then the wood will be both partly cut and partly moved tangentially.

If the piece of wood is backed-up by a solid slippery surface, the feed in is very fast, and the piece of wood is long enough, the tangential movement is a dangerous spear-like throw.

A Saw Throw Gap

A Felling Head Moving Into Stump (Feed Speed)

Blocks of wood can be tossed in any direction when improvising with a disc saw to trim over-size stumps. A long snout and a slow feed speed lessen danger during stump trimming. A similar danger of throw may exist when clearing small brush with multiple pass cuts.

Saw blades have gaps between adjacent teeth and holders to permit installation and removal of the teeth and to provide spaces to accumulate chips in the cut.

Fallen sticks and debris, or sticks and debris sliding across the saw blade, can enter these gaps when the blade is rotating and may be struck by the teeth. This will cause the sticks and debris to be tossed or thrown.

Larger gaps and lower rotation speeds increase these dangers.

A Ingoing Opening of the Saw Blade Housing

Saw Bade Entrance and Exit Space

B Outgoing Opening of the Saw Blade Housing

To avoid the ingestion of materials into the housing space above the disc (and later ejection) the ingoing entrance for the saw rim of teeth is kept as small as practical. It is important that this high wear area be maintained at its original size and shape.

The outgoing opening is large enough to allow the housing to clean itself and allows most things inside to be thrown out. Its throw direction and angle must be respected. A long snout on the ingoing side reduces this danger.

Using High-Speed Disc Saws Safely

Tigercat

This information is offered by Tigercat as part of interim action to make saw heads safer. It is based on what has recently been reported from the field and on tests conducted on proving grounds.

• Do not assume visitors and other workers are aware of disc saw dangers.

• Do not assume the operator will spare you, a visitor, from danger.

Tigercat continues to design and test tree felling machinery towards achieving greater safety in the woods. Tigercat would be thankful for written reports describing any unsafe happenings, including near misses, in the use of felling heads and their carriers.

• Do not select and operate heads that throw rearward.

• Do not select and operate heads with unnecessarily wide throw angles.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME SAW HEAD DO NOT'S THAT APPLY PARTICULARLY TO THROW PREVENTION:

• Do not neglect to read and follow all instructions provided by the saw and head manufacturers.

• Do not point the throw of a disc saw head in a direction towards people, vehicles or buildings at any visible distance.

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

• Do not push hard with the saw against anything except a standing tree to be cut.

• Do not mix new sharp teeth with old dull teeth on the same saw.

• Do not change the blade rotation from its designed direction in the head.

• Do not over speed the blade rpm.

• Do not remove or shorten snouts provided by the head manufacturer or installer.

• Do not neglect tooth fastening inspection, maintenance and replacement.

• Do not neglect to repair worn or damaged saw housings.

• Do not neglect to replace any covers removed for service or clean out.

• Do not count on skis to give the throw protection that snouts do.

• Do not nudge loose short pieces with the front of any type of head.

• Do not nudge anything, even long logs, with the front of a head which has no snouts.

• Do not cut short small stalks when the blade speed is low.

• Do not operate a high speed disc saw in a populated area.

A Gear Shift Lever

A Travel Speed Control Lever

SHIFTING GEARS

This lever allows the operator to set the maximum speed of the machine to maintain a given speed without having to feather the drive pedals. The travel speed control lever is mounted on the left hand armrest, below and to the left of the steering joystick.

NOTICE Gear shifting must NOT be done while the machine is in motion. The 2-speed transmission does not have the capability to mesh moving gears. If the operator shifts gears while the machine is in motion, severe damage will occur to the shift collar and its mating gears and will result in a difficulty or inability to shift from one speed to the other. In order to shift gears with minimum effort and without damaging the transmission, there must be no motion between the gear teeth of the shift collar and the teeth of the low or high speed gear.

• Push the lever forward to INCREASE the maximum speed.

• Pull the lever backwards to DECREASE the maximum speed of the machine.

On machines equipped with a wideRANGETM transmission, creep is activated hydraulically when the lever is pulled fully backwards. Creep provides maximum available tractive force to the wheels at a reduced speed.

NOTE: This lever can be used while the machine is in motion.

1. Bring the machine to a full stop on level ground.

Refer to TRAVEL SPEED CONTROL LEVER ADJUSTMENT in SECTION 3.

2. Set the engine speed to LOW IDLE.

NOTE: Creep mode is also accessible electronically through the computer. Refer to COMPUTER – ADJUSTMENT MENU – GENERAL SETTINGS – CREEP MODE in THIS SECTION.

3. Depress the foot brake pedal to hold the machine stationary.

4. Move the gearshift lever to engage the desired gear.

Push down for HIGH gear, pull up for LOW gear.

Neutral is in the middle.

NOTE: If the gear will not engage, the shifting collar and the speed gear have not aligned. This can be corrected by lightly touching the steering joystick to slightly articulate the machine, which will aid the collar and gear to mesh and allow for easy shifting.

The default setting is reverse every ten minutes for ten seconds, This setting is adjustable. Refer to COMPUTER – ADJUSTMENT MENU – FAN CLEAN INTERVAL AND FAN CLEAN DURATION in THIS SECTION for adjustment information.

CLEAN – When the switch is pressed momentarily to the CLEAN position, the fan direction is reversed to help clean the charge air cooler, radiator, A/C condenser, hydraulic oil cooler, pump drive gearbox cooler and air intake door screen. By reversing the fan blade direction, air flow is propelled in the opposite direction, thereby helping to force dust and debris off of the heat exchanger cores and screens.

It is also important to manually clean debris from the machine on a regular basis to maintain low machine operating temperatures. Refer to COOLER PACKAGE, CLEANING in SECTION 3.

SEAT HEATER/VENT CONTROLS

PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION RIDE IS TOO STIFF / SEAT TENDS TO PUSH OR THROW OPERATOR FORWARD

A

The air ride control valve has over pressurized the seat air suspension. This typically happens because the operator has over-inflated the air suspension to adjust the ride height

B

RIDES TOO SOFT OR BOTTOMS OUT AND PINCHES OPERATOR The air ride control valve has under pressurized the seat air suspension ride adjustment. This typically happens because the operator has under-inflated the air suspension to adjust the ride height.

A Heater/Vent Selection Switch B Low/Med/High Switch

The seat is equipped with electric heating and venting modes. Two switches located at the front-right corner of the seat control these operations.

SEAT TOO HIGH/SEAT TOO LOW

The heater/vent switch is a three-position switch. The up position turns the seat heater ON and the down position turns the seat vent ON. The middle position is OFF. The low/med/high switch is a three-position switch to adjust the heat level or the vent fan speed, depending on the mode selected.

There are several things which can cause improper seat height. Refer to RIDE ADJUSTMENT in THIS SECTION and adjust the seat to the desired position.

If the proper height cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to install the seat on a higher base.

OPERATOR’S LEGS FALLING ASLEEP The seat is adjusted too high, and the air ride control valve has under pressurized the seat air suspension ride adjustment, resulting in the operator sitting too low into the seat bottom. Refer to RIDE ADJUSTMENT in THIS SECTION.

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

A

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.

724E-082

A

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.

700067

A Hydraulic Oil Sample Valve – Access Through Left Side

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

• 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.

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

• 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 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.

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

• 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.

TRANSMISSION, AXLE AND PUMP DRIVE 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.

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.

• 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

• 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 filler caps before checking or adding fluids.

• Always release the pilot system pressure before breaking a connection. Refer to RELEASE PILOT SYSTEM PRESSURE in SECTION 1.

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

• Clean up spills as soon as possible.

• Always use clean oil and containers.

• Drain dirty oil while still warm.

• Always have a fire extinguisher at hand.

• DO NOT exceed recommended fluid levels.

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

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

• Install door safety struts when working on the machine.

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

Lubrication and Maintenance FIRE PREVENTION

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher FIRE EXTINGUISHER

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.

A

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.

2. Pay close attention to wiring and plumbing routes during maintenance. ALL wiring harnesses and hydraulic hoses must be 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 grapple to the ground and turn OFF the engine before discharging the fire suppression system.

Refer to FIRE PREVENTION in SECTION 1 for additional information.

724G-087

A Charge Gauge

A portable fire extinguisher is located in operator's cab.

Check the extinguisher 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, service the extinguisher immediately.

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

Refer to the manufacturer's use and information manual for proper usage, additional information and recommended inspection and maintenance intervals.

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 OIL HAND FILL PUMP 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.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

CONDENSER

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 during assembly.

The condenser is part of the cooler package. It changes the high-pressure refrigerant vapour to a liquid.

A/C SYSTEM TOTAL CAPACITIES R134a REFRIGERANT

1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz)

PAG Oil

59 ml (2 oz)

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.

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

The vapour is condensed to a liquid because of the high pressure that is driving it in, and this generates a great deal of heat. The heat is then removed from the condenser by air flowing through the condenser on the outside.

FAN CONTROL

The temperature sensor in the hydraulic oil tank operates in a similar manner to the engine coolant temperature sensor but independently and with a different temperature range. The hydraulic oil temperature range depends on the type of hydraulic oil used.

A

This sensor will signal the electronic control module to turn the fan ON at the minimum set point temperature.

As the temperature of the hydraulic oil increases, the speed of the fan also increases to a maximum of 2500 rpm fan speed at 2200 rpm engine speed. At this point, the temperature of the hydraulic oil will be at the maximum set point or higher.

XA2 Expansion Module Fan Switch Full On Auto Clean (Purge)

The fan consists of an electronic XA2 expansion module, and a three position fan switch in the operator's cab with CLEAN/AUTO/FULL ON* positions for fan control.

When the engine coolant temperature reaches 90°C (195°F), the sensor on the engine, in conjunction with the electronic control module, sends a signal to the control valve to start to turn the fan slowly. The fan speed is variable from zero up to a maximum of 2500 rpm fan speed at 2200 rpm engine speed. As the temperature of the coolant increases so does the speed of the fan up to the maximum 2500 rpm fan speed at 2200 rpm engine speed. At this point, the engine coolant temperature will be 95°C (203°F) or higher.

When the switch is in the FULL ON (OVERRIDE) position, the fan will run at FULL speed for cooling regardless of coolant, air intake or oil temperatures. The AUTO CLEAN/REVERSE feature will not function in the FULL ON position.

When the switch is pressed momentarily to the CLEAN (PURGE) position, the control module will signal the control valve to reverse the flow of oil to the motor and turn the fan in reverse. The control module will also turn the air conditioning system OFF for as long as the fan switch is in the CLEAN (PURGE) position.

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

HOW IT WORKS

ENGINE AIR PRECLEANER

1. Dirty air (A) enters the precleaner, which is clamped onto the engine air intake.

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

A

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

4. The centrifugal force of the tornado expels the heavier than air dirt particles (D), chaff, dust, snow, rain, etc., out the discharge louvre.

724G-069

A Engine Air Precleaner

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.

5. Cleaned air (E) enters the engine air cleaner intake pipe, and the filter element has only the very light particles to remove.

AIR INTAKE TUBING AND JOINTS C A

IMPORTANT! Check the precleaner every 8 hours for foreign materials that may have plugged the intake area or the discharge louvre area. Clean as required.

A plugged precleaner will create a restriction to airflow, resulting in reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

If the machine is operated with a plugged precleaner, excessive air intake restriction will damage the rubber air intake tube which will lead to ingestion of dirt into the engine resulting in engine failure. The air intake filter restriction indicator may not function properly if the air intake tube is damaged.

AIR CLEANER

In addition to the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE in THIS SECTION, the following instructions should also be noted: NOTE: Replace secondary (safety) filter every third primary filter change.

The most common and most damaging air intake servicing problems are over servicing and improper servicing.

OVER SERVICING

A

Filter elements increase in dust cleaning efficiency as dust builds up on the media. Looks can be deceiving. A filter that is 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 the engine manufacturer’s guidelines, should be replaced.

B

700078

IMPROPER SERVICING

A Air Cleaner B Air Cleaner Unloader Valve

B

Engine exposure to dust during servicing is the largest single factor contributing to engine damage due to dust. Abrasive dust can easily enter the intake system once the air cleaner element has been removed for replacement. The safety element reduces the risk, however it must also be replaced at every third primary element change.

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

2. Avoid dislodging dust from filter element(s) by gently pulling the element out of the housing.

3. Check your old filter sealing surfaces, This will help detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing leakage.

NOTE: DO NOT clean and reuse filter elements.

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.

A 726D-006

A Primary Element B Secondary (Safety) Element

The air cleaner on this machine uses two filter elements; a primary element and a secondary (safety) element. It is accessible through the service compartment access door on the rear of the machine.

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

4. Always clean the inside of the housing.

5. Always clean the sealing surface before inserting a new filter element.

6. Inspect the new filter for damage.

7. Insert the new filter properly. Apply pressure to the filter frame not the pleated filter surface.

8. Check connections hoses and tubes for an air tight fit. All clamps, bolts and connections must be tight.

Check rubber elbows for splits or wear points. Leaks in these locations send dust directly to the engine.

A Air Filter Restriction Indicator B Hose To Air Filter Restriction Indicator C Air Filter Restriction Sensor

Replace the unloader valve every 1000 hours.

An air filter restriction indicator is connected to the outlet side of the air filter. Service to the air filter is required when the restriction indicator shows RED. This indicator provides a continuous reading whether the engine is running or is shut down. After servicing the filter, reset the indicator by pressing the reset button.

Remove the unloader valve from the tube of the air cleaner housing. A good valve should be soft and flexible. Check and clean the valve. If it is plugged, check the filter elements as they may also need to be replaced. Reattach the valve to the tube. The valve should suck closed at about one-third of HIGH IDLE. When operating in high dust conditions this valve should be checked and squeezed every two hours to release dust buildup.

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

AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM Tier 4f machines are 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 4 final emission standard requirements with low fuel consumption. This process is electronically controlled by the DENOX 2.2 system.

The 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! DO NOT idle the engine longer than one hour.

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 aftertreatment system. Burn off of excess hydrocarbon, at full load, immediately after a long idle period, generates excess heat which causes 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 aftertreatment system and the engine.

The DOC/SCR aftertreatment system is electronically managed by the DENOX 2.2 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 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 vapour (H2O). It also converts nitrogen oxide (NO) into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which enhances the performance of the SCR catalyst.

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 pipe between the DOC and Catalytic converter. High temperature exhaust gas evaporates the DEF solution instantly and, by hydrolysis, converts it into ammonia (2NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).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 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.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) DEF is used by the DOC/SCR aftertreatment system to lower the concentration of nitrogen oxides from the diesel engine exhaust.

DEF is an aqueous urea solution with 32.5% high purity urea and 67.5% deionized water.

NOTE: DEF may also be referred to as AUS32 or AdBlue. All DEF must be American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified DEF or meet ISO 22241 specifications.

IMPORTANT! Store DEF between −5°C (23°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.

IMPORTANT! Avoid contamination of the DEF when filling the tank as this may cause costly damage to the aftertreatment system components and affect the proper operation of the aftertreatment system and the engine.

NOTE: Extremely low levels of DEF or DEF quality problems will generate computer messages and these conditions may affect engine performance and damage to the DOC/SCR aftertreatment system components.

Take action to correct DEF quality problems immediately.

WARNING Use only Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) which meets ISO 22241 specifications. DO NOT fill the DEF tank with any other fluid.

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.

NOTE: When the engine is stopped, all DEF is pumped back to tank before the engine power system is turned OFF. This process takes approximately 90 seconds.

Refer to AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM in THIS SECTION for more information regarding the use of DEF and its function in the DOC/SCR aftertreatment system.

NOTE: DEF quality problems may result in derating of engine performance to meet emission standard requirements. Take action immediately to correct DEF quality problems to avoid affecting engine performance and damage to the DOC/SCR aftertreatment system components.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) HANDLING AND STORAGE

AVOID DEF QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH PROPER HANDLING PRACTICES

DEF is an aqueous urea solution with 32.5% high purity urea and 67.5% deionized water.

Most DEF quality problems can be avoided entirely with a little care and proper handling of DEF.

NOTE: DEF may also be referred to as AUS32 or AdBlue and must meet ISO 22241 specifications. Use only DEF meeting this standard.

WHEN FILLING THE DEF TANK: • Clean the area around the fill cap and avoid introducing contaminants into the DEF tank when filling.

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.

• Use only DEF that meets ISO 22241 specifications.

The use of any other fluid will contaminate the aftertreatment system and will pose a safety hazard.

When a problem with DEF quality is detected information messages is sent to the computer display.

PROPER STORAGE CONTAINERS • To prevent contaminants from affecting DEF quality, handle DEF only in storage, transport and filling containers intended exclusively for that purpose.

NOTE: DEF quality problems may result in derating of engine performance to meet emission standard requirements. Take action immediately to correct DEF quality problems to avoid affecting engine performance and damage to SCR aftertreatment system components.

• Polyethylene or stainless steel containers are recommended. Refer to DEF MANUFACTURER'S DOCUMENTATION for recommendations.

• DEF is corrosive to metals other than stainless steel.

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

Refer to COMPUTER – CRITICAL MESSAGES in SECTION 2.

For safety information refer to DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) in SECTION 1.

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

• Store DEF between −5°C (23°F) and 30°C (86°F).

• Store DEF in areas out of direct sunlight.

• Store DEF away from heat sources.

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

A Diesel Oxidation Catalyst

The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is located in the pump compartment upstream of the catalytic converter (SCR and CUC) and at its outlet incorporates the mixer tube and the mounting for the dosing module.

The 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).

A Supply Module B DEF Tank

The DEF supply module is located in the pump compartment on the right side of the machine.

The supply module pump picks up the DEF solution from the tank and sends it under pressure to the dosing module, mounted on the DOC. DEF is injected into the exhaust at the outlet of the diesel oxidation catalyst and upstream of the catalytic converter.

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.

A

Lubrication and Maintenance 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 clean up catalyst (CUC) which reduces any excess ammonia (NH3) which may result from the SCR process.

A Catalytic Converter

724G and 726G

The catalytic converter is located above the engine in the engine compartment. 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 (2NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

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

PRESSURE WASHING

PRESSURE WASHING PROCEDURE

Pressure washing is one of the easiest and most economical ways to preserve your investment.

Accumulated mud can damage axles, sand will grind down pins and bearings, and wood debris buildup in machine enclosures is a serious fire hazard. Pressure washing is also good practice before and after servicing equipment.

1. Park the machine on level ground. Refer to PARKING THE MACHINE in SECTION 1.

CAUTION

2. Close and latch the cab door.

3. Open all engine compartment doors. Refer to SERVICE COMPARTMENTS, DOORS AND ACCESS PANELS in THIS SECTION. 4. Turn OFF the battery disconnect switch.

5. Pressure wash:

To avoid slips, trips or falls, all handles, steps and platforms must be kept free of grease, oil, fuel, mud, snow, ice, and forest debris.

• Drive motors and compartments • Oil cooler, cooler package and enclosure screens • Engine compartment

CAUTION

• Hydraulic pumps and compartment • Main control valve and compartment • Cab windows. Refer to CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS in THIS SECTION.

Use personal protective equipment to guard against flying debris.

IMPORTANT! Use a high volume, low pressure fan nozzle or nozzle setting for all equipment cleaning. High pressure spray can damage paint, penetrate electrical connections and remove labels. Use a mild detergent and make sure pressure settings are below 83 bar (1200 psi).

A

IMPORTANT! Allow the engine to cool down before pressure washing the engine compartment. Pressure washing a hot engine with cold water could crack the engine block or other components.

To avoid damaging sensitive machine components, do not allow water to come in contact with electrical/ electronic components or air ducts and filters inside the vehicle.

Due to the sensitive electronics on this machine use only warm water, a mild detergent and a gentle pressure wash setting.

Lubrication and Maintenance USING THE FAN CLEAN FUNCTION TO REMOVE DEBRIS DURING OPERATION

CLEANING PROCEDURE 1. Park the machine on level ground. Refer to PARKING THE MACHINE in SECTION 1.

The hydraulic fan circuit has a CLEAN function for use in cleaning debris from the charge air cooler, radiator, oil cooler, A/C condenser and air intake door screens during operation. By reversing the direction of the fan, air flows in the opposite direction, thereby forcing dust and debris off the charge air cooler, radiator, oil cooler, A/C condenser, and air intake door screens. Be sure no personnel are standing directly to the left of the machine when performing this operation. Dust and debris will fly out. Refer to FAN SWITCH (ENGINE COOLING) in SECTION 2 for more information.

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

Always 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 both cooler package access doors on the sides of the machine by swinging the latch pin stop to the side, lifting up the pin and swing.

4. Lift out the bottom screen panels on the right and left sides of the front engine area, behind the cab.

5. 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.

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

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.

Take care when cleaning the cooler package as the components can be damaged by careless handling and cleaning.

CAUTION Avoid the risk of fire caused by debris accumulating on surfaces that may become hot during machine operation. Always 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 that 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.

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

• 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.

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

Other chemicals however can seriously weaken the polycarbonate.

1. Rinse the window thoroughly with lukewarm water

DO NOT permit any of the following chemicals to come into contact with polycarbonate windows:

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.

• Acetone • Air Conditioning Refrigerant

Brand name soaps and detergents recommended for cleaning polycarbonate are:

• Ammonia • Anti-Freeze

• Fantastik

• Benzene

• Formula 409

• Brake Fluid

• Hexcel F.O. 554

• Carbon Tetrachloride

• Joy

• Cutting Oils

• Lysol

• Gasoline

• Mr. Clean

• Lacquer Thinner

• Neleco-Placer

• Toluene

• Pine-Sol

• Turpentine

• Top Job

• Xylene

3. Rinse the window thoroughly with lukewarm water.

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 time-temperature related. This means that the higher the water temperature, the shorter the time before the polycarbonate is adversely affected.

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

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.

3.109

Lubrication and Maintenance CAUTION

Tigercat 720G/724G/726G Feller Buncher GRAFFITI REMOVAL

• DO NOT use abusive cleaning procedures

• 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.

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

• 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.

either by hand or pressure washing 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.

Refer to 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.

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 in THIS SECTION.

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.
