INTERLOCK SWITCH (FRONT DOOR)
NOTE: The engine can be started but the machine functions cannot be operated with the door open. To operate: Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine and other personnel. Never operate the boom or attachment over the heads of bystanders.
Close the front door and press the PILOT RESET switch. Once the safety interlock system has been activated, the safety of both the operator and all persons outside the cab becomes the responsibility of the operator.
Do not turn on saw blade until machine is at cutting site. Never travel near co-workers or other pieces of equipment with saw blade turning.
The door safety interlock switch and the pilot reset switch are a safety feature and their function must not be defeated in any way.
Do not allow people or other pieces of equipment near the felling operation.
Do not open an escape hatch or the cab doors to increase ventilation when operating the machine.
Use only prearranged and approved signalling practices. Operate the machine only from a seated position in the operator’s seat. Watch for ground hazards such as metal debris, wire fencing or rocks. When travelling position felling head and boom accordingly so as not to impair vision. If vision is limited by dust, smoke, fog, rain or snow, stop the machine until visibility is restored.
Keep the cab doors closed when driving or steering the machine to prevent accidental entry of branches and debris into the cab. Keep the cab doors closed and use seat belt when driving or steering the machine to prevent being thrown from the operator's cab.
