Introduction

An Operator's manual, Service manual and a Parts catalog are made available by Tigercat to assist the dealer, customer and operator in becoming familiar with the features of the H845C/LH845C Harvesters.

Serial numbers:H845C 84531861 TO 84532500 LH845C 84581861 TO 84582500 NOTE: The 4th digit in the machine serial number indicates the machine model type. For example, 3 = Harvester and 8 = Leveling Harvester. For simplicity throughout this manual the 4th digit has been replaced with an asterisk to indicate that both types of machine models are affected, ie: 845*1861 TO 845*2500.

The H845C/LH845C Harvesters are designed for harvesting trees, at-the-stump processing or roadside processing applications in thinning, selective felling and clear felling applications in plantations and natural stands.

The operator's manual will assist the operator with the techniques of proper and safe operation of the H845C/LH845C Harvesters. There is also important information regarding the safe operation of the harvesting head. The service manual contains safety and servicing procedures and a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure optimum machine performance.

Section 1 in both the operator's manual and the service manual contains safety information that must be followed. As well, throughout the rest of the manuals, DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION notices are displayed where necessary, drawing attention to possible hazards when performing certain procedures.

Only trained personnel should be allowed to operate or work on the machine.

The information contained in this manual is current at time of printing. Improvements to the machine are on-going and may not be covered, therefore in these cases contact your Tigercat dealer for the appropriate information.

The phrase “and up” appearing in this manual after the serial number implies that the related information is current for any machine serial number HIGHER than the serial number preceding the “and up”.

Tigercat reserves the right to make changes to the machine after this manual release date that may not immediately appear in this manual.

Introduction

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

THIS OPERATOR ENCLOSURE MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS: OREGON OSHA 437-007-0775:14a TIP-OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (TOPS) ISO 8082-2:2011 ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS) ISO 8084:1993 OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS) ISO 8083:1989 11 600J FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS) ISO 2867:1994 SAE J1356: FEB. 1988 OREGON OSHA 437-007-0775:14b,c AS 4988 2002 * MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS: The integrity of the ROPS, TOPS, FOPS, OPS structure and its continued ability to provide the level of protection it was designed for could be seriously affected by any modifications to the structure, its mounting or to the chassis to which it is attached.

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

Tigercat may officially grant approval for modifications only by: i)

Written approval of repairs or modifications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or

ii) Approved modifications officially released by Tigercat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

1.7

Safety

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester Do not operate the machine with any defective or inoperable components.

WARNING

Check all fluid levels.

Do not walk on machine surfaces with steel cleated foot wear. Steel cleats on steel surfaces are slippery and do not provide a safe foot hold.

Do not operate the machine with any of the exhaust system, safety covers, oil shields, or other devices removed.

WARNING It is not recommended to walk on machine surfaces that are not designated walking areas.

No attempt should be made to walk on angled steel surfaces or surfaces that are irregular in shape.

Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location on the vehicle at all times.

Walking surfaces on the machine must be covered with anti-slip materials to provide a safe foot hold and prevent slipping.

Working with oil Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints (example: eczema). Strict hygiene should always be observed.

These anti-slip surfaces should be maintained on a regular basis. If the surface shows signs of wear, the anti-slip material must be replaced immediately.

Some advice which should be observed: •

To reduce risk of fire, machines should be completely cleaned of debris at least daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) should be eliminated immediately, always shut off engine before cleaning machine.

• • •

Maintain a clean cab interior, clear away trash or debris.

Machine should be washed completely at every major service.

• •

Inspect the machine daily for signs of damage or unusual wear, to structures.

•

Check for fluid leaks, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately.

•

Check windows and door guards for damage.

• •

Check protective windows for cracks, a damaged window has reduced strength to stop flying objects. All damaged windows must be replaced with original equipment.

•

Oils used in this machine may be hot enough to cause serious burns.

Avoid contact with oil, particularly heated oil.

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

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

Don't put oily rags in your pockets.

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.

Avoid breathing in oil fumes.

Wash hands and arms frequently (example: at each meal break or as often as possible).

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

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

Check windows for scratching, crazing and cloudiness that could impair clear visibility all around the machine.

1.8

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Safety

Safety Hazards - Viton Seals O-rings and other seals manufactured of Viton material (fluorine rubber) produce a highly corrosive acid (Hydrofluoric) when subjected to temperatures above 315°C (600°F).

Approach with extreme caution any area where overhanging electrical power lines are present.

Serious injury or death by electrocution can result if the machine or any of its attachments are not kept a safe distance from these lines.

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

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

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

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

Visually inspect any seals or gaskets which have suffered from heat; they will appear black and sticky.

•

If these are found, Do Not Touch!!!

•

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

•

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

•

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

If the machine must be transported, make sure that it is adequately secured to the transporting vehicle. Refer to VEHICLE MOVING INSTRUCTIONS in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL. Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and premature wear of the engine components.

Reduce engine speed to LOW IDLE and let run for approximately five minutes to allow gradual dissipation of heat and also to reduce turbo speed.

This will also prevent loss of coolant by after boil and possible hot spot damage to the engine.

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

Safety Hazards - Operating Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the vehicle at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT. Do not carry passengers either in the cab or anywhere else on the machine. The vehicle is provided and approved with seating for the operator only.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Safety

MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION MACHINES WITHOUT LEVELER When working on slopes, travel straight up or down the slope to prevent roll-over.

NEVER travel across a STEEP slope or side hill: •

As a load is added to the harvesting head the handling and the stability of the machine will change.

•

To avoid tip over, keep the harvesting head as low as possible to maintain a low centre 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.

1.13

Safety

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION MACHINES WITH LEVELER This machine is designed to operate on rough terrain and slopes commonly found in forestry applications. However, ground conditions vary greatly with changing soil types, slope angles, moisture, snow and ice, rocks, boulders and stumps, and fallen trees. All of these factors affect the machine’s stability against tip-over and traction to resist slipping. This machine may not be capable of operating on some ground conditions, and must be used with caution.

20°

Whenever possible work within the normal working range of the boom system as shown in FIG. 1.

860C-009

NOTE: In any boom position, both inside and outside of the normal operating range, there is a risk of instability and tipping.

When it is necessary to work outside of the normal working range, be aware that the stability of the machine is reduced. The risk of tipping is increased while operating in the reduced stability working range.

16° 860C-010

NORMAL WORKING RANGE OF BOOM SYSTEM

FIG. 2 - UNDERCARRIAGE LEVELING ANGLES To minimize the risk of tipping observe the following:

UPHILL REDUCED STABILITY WORKING RANGE

•

DO NOT attempt to operate this machine on slopes without first receiving proper training.

•

Learn the stability limits or “feel” of the machine by first working on gentle slopes and by positioning the boom to reduce the risk of tipping. Gain experience over time by gradually increasing the angle of the slopes on which you are working.

•

Keep the attachment as close to the ground as possible to increase machine stability, and to allow the boom to be quickly lowered to the ground should the machine begin to tip.

•

Always use the LOW speed setting for the track drives when on slopes.

Travelling at an angle to the slope other than straight up and down decreases the traction of the tracks. Increasing the angle to the slope away from straight up and down can cause the machine to slide sideways downhill and/or possibly tip over.

TRACK GEAR BOX AT REAR OF UNDERCARRIAGE 860C-030

FIG. 1 - WORKING RANGES

Be aware that the machine is in its least stable position on a slope with the boom to the rear.

All efforts have been made in the design of the machine to reduce the risk of tipping, however it is not possible to eliminate the risk of tipping.

Safety

NEVER travel across a STEEP slope or side hill.

Always carry any load on the uphill side of the machine.

DO NOT lift or move objects that exceed machine stability.

Always be prepared to release the load in case it causes the machine to tip.

Always position the cab so that you have a clear view in the direction of travel. Be aware of ground conditions and obstacles in the machine’s path before moving the machine.

When crossing obstacles (boulders, stumps, ditches etc.) the machine can shift rapidly, greatly affecting the stability of the machine.

Move slowly over obstacles, and position the boom against the ground to reduce the risk of the machine shifting rapidly.

Backing over obstacles unexpectedly while travelling down a slope poses a tipping risk.

Know the path of the tracks whenever the machine is moved.

When climbing a slope the boom should face uphill and the harvesting head should be kept close to the ground (FIG. 3). When descending a slope the boom should face down hill and the harvesting head should be kept close to the ground (FIG. 4). Be particularly aware of machine stability when changing directions on, or travelling back down a slope.

As you gain experience, recognize that the maximum slope on which the machine can operate cannot be defined simply by an angle value. Variables in surface terrain, soil types, rocks, boulders, stumps, and fallen trees, changing weather conditions, and first and foremost the operator’s experience and skill levels greatly affect the maximum slope limitations. Be aware that these factors can result in a shallow slope posing greater risk than a relatively steeper slope. DO NOT attempt to work on slopes beyond your personal capability level.

The following are general safety guidelines for harvesting heads. Note the design, operation, and maintenance of harvesting heads varies among manufacturers. Always follow the specific safety, maintenance, and operating procedures provided by the harvesting head manufacturer.

WARNING The operator must release trees from the harvesting head, place the harvesting head on the ground, and shut the pilot system off if someone enters into the hazard zone.

The operator of the carrier and harvesting head must be properly trained in the operation of the equipment and its safety requirements.

PRIOR TO STARTING OPERATION:

•

Lower harvesting head to the ground and turn pilot system off whenever machine is not in use.

•

Always fell trees in the direction that they are leaning.

•

NEVER fell trees close to overhead power lines, vehicles, houses, roads/pathways, etc.

•

NEVER fell trees when there are personnel on the ground within the 150 m (500 ft) “hazard zone”.

•

During operation do not allow anyone within the safety zone of at least 150 m (500 ft) from the machine.

•

NEVER fell trees in the direction of the operator’s cab.

WARNING The harvesting head may release held trees when the cab front door is opened, the pilot system is turned off or the fire suppression system is activated. Never exit the cab with a tree suspended in the harvesting head.

•

Ensure no one is near the machine where the risk of personal injury is present.

•

Ensure no one is in the line of the chain saw when starting or operating the harvesting head. The hydraulically driven saw chain reaches high speeds and is an extreme hazard if the chain breaks.

•

Safety

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester Working with the harvesting head in close to the machine:

HARVESTING HEAD CONTACT WITH CAB The boom of this machine is designed to enable the harvesting head to be tucked in close to the operator’s cab. This ability maximizes the maneuverability of the harvesting head to work around standing trees and while thinning in dense stands. See both the upper and lower images in FIG. 1.

•

Increases operator visibility, permitting better placement of the head on the tree and improving awareness of saw bar location and penetration, tree species and areas of rot, splits and crooks.

•

Reduces the potential for damage to both the standing trees and the harvesting head and stick boom components.

•

Improves the stability of a machine working on uneven ground as the weight of the boom, head and tree need not be extended as far out in front of the machine.

•

Broadens the working area that can be reached by the boom and thereby lessens the need to reposition the machine as frequently during harvesting operations.

Safety

However operators of these machines are advised that working with the harvesting head in close to the machine also increases the chances of the harvesting head making contact with the front area of the cab, particularly if the head is swinging backwards as it dangles from the end of the stick boom. See both the upper and lower images in FIG 2.

For all machines equipped with a harvesting head, the following procedures must be followed during the operation of the machine to avoid contact of the harvesting head with the cab.

1. When nearing the boom positions shown in FIG 1: •

Always keep the head in the upright harvesting position.

•

DO NOT tilt the head from the harvesting to the processing position as the saw housing may contact the cab.

•

Reduce the speed of boom movement.

Rapid movement could cause the base of the harvesting head to swing backwards towards the cab.

•

Avoid any sudden movements with the track drive system as this could cause the head to swing backwards into the cab.

2. NEVER bring the harvesting head in close to the machine while the harvesting head is swinging on the end of the stick boom. See FIG 2.

3. DO NOT use the harvesting head to pull downed trees directly towards the cab. If the clamping arms slip on the tree, the head may quickly swing towards the cab.

1.19

Should contact between the harvesting head and the cab occur at any time during the operation of the machine, the following procedure must be completed.

1. Inspect the cab, the front door and the front window immediately to determine if any damage has occurred.

2. Be certain to read, understand and follow the instructions titled CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS IN CAB and INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

When searching for possible fluid leaks: • NEVER search for leaks with your bare hands. Always wear thick protective gloves.

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

Hydraulic and diesel fuel systems on forestry machines operate at very high pressures, often 207 bar (3000 psi) and above. If a loose connection or a defect in a hose should occur, a fine, high velocity stream of fluid will result.

Even for systems pressurized to as little as 7 bar (100 psi), this fluid stream can penetrate human skin as if it were a hypodermic needle.

• •

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.

•

Be sure to wear safety goggles for eye protection.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

In the event of any suspected fluid injection injury: • Report the injury to your supervisor IMMEDIATELY. • Seek professional medical attention IMMEDIATELY.

Safety

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 seeking medical attention all influence the chances of successful treatment for this type of serious injury.

Prior to using a high pressure pneumatic grease gun perform the following: •

All operators of high pressure pneumatic grease guns MUST be trained in the hazards of its operations and the treatment for such injuries.

•

DO NOT OPERATE a high pressure pneumatic grease gun unless you have been trained in the proper operation and are aware of all safety precautions of such a tool.

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

Remove dirt and grease from grease fittings prior to greasing.

•

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

•

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

LIGHTNING SAFETY AWARENESS

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

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

1. Designate a member of your crew to:

WHAT IS A LIGHTNING STRIKE? Lightning is a discharge of the electricity produced by a thunderstorm. As the thunderstorm develops, many small particles of ice within the storm clouds bump together. These collisions create a positive charge at the top of a cloud and a negative charge at the bottom. As this continues a second positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, concentrated around high objects such as hills, trees, buildings, equipment and even people.

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

•

Monitor daily weather forecasts

•

Observe local weather conditions

•

Alert all other members of the crew when a possible lightning threat develops.

2. DO NOT start or continue any work that cannot be stopped immediately, when a storm moves nearby.

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

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

5. DO NOT follow the now obsolete guideline to take shelter when the time between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is 30 seconds or less. This does not provide sufficient time to ensure safety. Always follow step 4.

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 mi). Lightning travels both in front of and behind a thunderstorm and so strikes happen even when rain has not started or has stopped.

Lightning can hit in the same place, many times and often spreads out over 18 m (60 ft) within the soil around the strike point.

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

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

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

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

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

1.30

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

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

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

2. If inside a building:

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

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

•

DO NOT watch the lightning storm from open windows or doorways. Stay in inner rooms.

•

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the rubber tires on motor vehicles and heavy equipment do not increase safety from lightning strikes. Lightning has already travelled a great distance through the air to strike the vehicle.

In comparison a few inches of rubber in a tire offers absolutely no additional insulation.

1.31

•

Under no circumstances whatsoever step outside of the vehicle or off the equipment to move to another shelter. Very dangerous electrical pathways to ground may go through you.

•

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

•

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

•

DO NOT touch any metallic objects referenced to the outside of the vehicle.

DO NOT touch any door and window handles, control levers, foot pedals, steering wheels, cab interior walls and any other inside to outside metal objects.

•

DO NOT touch any radio or telephone connected to an outside antenna.

Safety

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester What to do if you feel your skin tingling, your hair stands on end, light metal objects vibrate or you hear a crackling sound.

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

2. Put your feet together. Crouch down like in a baseball catcher’s position. Hold your head down. Cover your ears to protect them against the noise of the thunder.

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

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

What to do if a co-worker has been struck by lightning.

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

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

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

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

2. Call your local emergency response telephone number immediately.

4. DO NOT take shelter under any isolated tall trees or small groups of trees.

3. If the victim has no pulse, their heart has stopped or they have stopped breathing, start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation immediately.

Use a portable defibrillator if one is available.

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

6. Avoid entering any small enclosures or shelters.

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

7. DO NOT seek shelter under any motor vehicle or heavy equipment.

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

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

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

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

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

11. DO NOT use the telephone except for emergencies.

1.32

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Safety 4. Clean out all accumulated forest debris (twigs, pine needles, branches, bark, leaves, saw dust, small wood chips) and any other combustible materials from inside the machine belly pans or lower machine structures as well as from areas in proximity to the engine, fuel and hydraulic oil systems no less frequently than at the completion of each work shift.

FIRE PREVENTION

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

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

When working in a forest environment, it is impossible to prevent combustible debris from collecting in tight corners of the machine. This debris, in itself, may cause a fire; however, when mixed with fuel, oil or grease in a hot or confined place, the danger of fire is greatly increased.

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

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

The following fire prevention guidelines should be used to supplement the operator’s fire prevention efforts. In no case should the guidelines be used, or assumed, as replacements for diligent operator efforts at preventing fires.

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

1. Maintain a CHARGED fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT. 2. Remove debris and blow out dust regularly from the air intake doors, engine radiator and charge air cooler, hydraulic oil cooler, diesel fuel cooler and air conditioning condenser core to prevent overheating of the engine and hydraulics and to maintain efficient operation of the machine. Refer to CLEANING A/C CONDENSER, OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL. 3. Blow off all forest debris and fine organic material accumulated near hot engine exhaust components (turbocharger and exhaust manifold as well as exhaust pipes and muffler) at the completion of each work shift or more frequently when working in logging conditions where large amounts of combustible forest debris are present. Visual inspection after blow off to ensure thorough cleanliness is vital. Engine exhaust systems provide numerous small pockets where saw dust, small wood chips and other flammable forest debris can gather. Even small accumulations close to hot exhaust components can ignite and smoulder. If dislodged this smouldering debris can fall into other areas of the machine and thereby spread a fire.

1.33

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

9. Inspect the exhaust system daily for any signs of leakage. Check for worn, cracked, broken or damaged pipes or muffler.

Also check for missing or damaged bolts or clamps. Should any exhaust leaks or defective parts be found, repairs must be made immediately. Engine exhaust leaks can cause fires. Do not operate the machine until the exhaust leak is repaired.

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

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

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

Safety

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

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

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

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

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

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

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

EQUIPMENT FIRES ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO LOG, MAY INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS DRAMATICALLY OR PREVENT YOU FROM OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE AT ALL. WHAT TO DO TO PREPARE FOR A MACHINE FIRE:

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

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

1.34

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

Ensure that you have the proper fire extinguishers on site. Most fires involving mobile forestry equipment will be Class A or B. Dry chemical extinguishers should be rated ABC and pressurized water extinguishers should be rated A. Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles such as wood, cloth, paper, rubber and many plastics, Class B fires occur with flammable liquids such as diesel fuel, oil and grease and Class C fires apply to energized electrical equipment.

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.

•

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

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

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

3. 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.

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.

5. Be aware that 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.

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

Ensure that after you have received the training as outlined above, that you 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.

•

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

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

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

•

If operating the machine when a fire occurs:

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.

Safety

DRY CHEMICAL CLEANUP PROCEDURES:

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To neutralize the acidic paste on large surfaces, spray or wash these areas with a mixture of three parts hot water to one part baking soda. Allow this mixture to stand for several minutes before rinsing with warm water. Wash the area with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Blow-dry to remove all residual water.

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.

NO RIDERS

THROWN OBJECTS HAZARD

NO RIDERS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE. Do not carry passengers either in the cab or anywhere else on the machine. The vehicle seating accommodation is for one operator only.

Persons riding on the outside of the machine are subject to hazards such as falling off the machine, crush hazards, thrown object hazards and many other hazards WHICH COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. If any person attempts to climb onto the machine during operation, STOP THE MACHINE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT Operate the machine until other personnel are a safe distance away from the machine.

This label informs you of the thrown objects hazard that exists when operating this harvesting head. Warn all personnel to stay 150 m (500 ft) away when operating the machine and head.

During operation objects can be thrown or ejected at high speed and can travel long distances.

Ejection of chain saw parts or other objects can cause serious injury or death.

NEVER operate or position the head with the chain saw bars in line with any bystanders, other machines or facing towards the operator’s cab.

Orient the bar and chain so high velocity parts are thrown away from any bystanders and equipment.

ALWAYS follow chain manufacturer’s guidelines for proper use and maintenance.

ALWAYS be aware of the location of other machines and personnel who are working in the harvesting area and be prepared to stop operations if they enter your working area without warning. Be prepared for this potential hazard and take appropriate action if required!

This label is located inside the cab in full view of the operator. Should this harvesting head be purchased “loose” without a machine, one of these labels will be sent along with the head to be affixed to the inside of the cab at a future date.

Controls and Operation

Two 125A and three 60A fuses are installed in the Fuse and Relay Rear Panel ahead of the system circuit fuses and are there to prevent major damage to the electrical systems of the machine in the event of a short circuit in any of the main battery feed lines.

10A (FSS) FUSE

Each circuit on the machine is further protected against current overload by individual circuit fuses. The circuit fuses on the Fuse, Relay and Electrical Panel in Cab protect the cab electrical components.

The fuses in the Fuse and Relay Rear Panel protect the circuits for the work lights, engine ECU, engine enclosure power roof and many other machine operating circuits. Refer to the label on the previous page for specific fuse designation and location.

BOOSTER JUMPER PLUG

A 60A fuse located in the battery compartment provides unswitched power for cab lights and service lights.

860C-225A

A second 60A fuse is located between the battery compartment and the hydraulic fill pump electrical circuit to provide unswitched power for the electrically operated fill pump.

A 10A in-line fuse protects the fire suppression system when a fire suppression system is installed. This fuse is located in the fire suppression power lead from the battery.

If a fuse “blows” it should be replaced with a fuse of the same amperage rating. If the fuse “blows” again, the circuit in question must be inspected for possible short circuit.

BATTERY BOOSTER JUMPER PLUG A battery booster jumper plug is located in the battery compartment. This special JUMPER CONNECTOR is used in conjunction with jumper cables with matching ends. Cables with matching ends are available through your Tigercat Dealer Parts Department.

The DRIVE position will provide a faster travel speed range but with a lower driving force.

13. SAW - SWITCH This is a two position switch labelled ON/OFF. On Harvester Model Machines this saw switch supplies power to the attachment’s control system. A lockout button is incorporated into the switch to prevent the switch from being turned ON accidentally. To turn the switch ON, push and hold the lockout button UP and place the switch in the ON position.

It is recommended that during all harvesting functions and when travelling on slopes that the range switch be placed in the LOW position to maximize the life of the drive motor and the track drive gearbox parking brake.

Low position is indicated by a light on the Track Low/drive switch.

DRIVE: When this switch is in the DRIVE position the travel speed (and torque) ranges of the drive system become infinitely variable and will automatically adjust to any point between the HIGH and LOW speed/torque set points, relative to the terrain or load conditions.

Place throttle in FULL position before turning attachment ON. NOTE: If the engine has been turned off or the pilot shut off system tripped (Front Door opened) with the saw switch left in the ON position, the attachment will not start up when the engine is restarted or the front door closed. In this case press the PILOT RESET button and turn the saw switch OFF and then ON.

It should be noted that the available torque when travelling at maximum speed is less than half of that in LOW. The DRIVE position will provide a faster travel speed range but with a lower driving force.

However, when the machine encounters tougher terrain conditions, e.g. stumps, soft ground or slopes etc., the drive system will automatically adjust* to a slower travel speed/ higher torque range.

NOTE ALSO: On Shovel Logger Machines and on Feller Buncher Machines equipped with the Shear Felling Head this saw switch supplies power to the attachment’s control systems.

NOTE ALSO: The function of this switch may vary depending on the attachment model used and method of installation. Verify all functions before operating this machine.

*This amount of adjustment can be anywhere from a slight reduction in speed all the way down to LOW, this will be dependent on the terrain conditions encountered.

NOTE: The operator should be aware that this automatic speed/torque range adjustment will cause the machine to gradually slow down over a period of one to two seconds, due in part to the infinitely variable displacement drive motors used. When travelling on relatively flat terrain it is not necessary to place the range switch in the LOW position .

A 12V outlet with a 15A capacity for portable devices such as cell phones.

15. COOLING FAN - SWITCH This is a three position switch, labelled CLEAN / AUTO / FULL ON. This switch along with an electronic fan control module, controls the operation of the hydraulic cross-flow fan.

AUTO POSITION - AUTO is the normal operating position for the fan control switch.

When the switch is in the AUTO position, the fan will operate completely in an automatic mode. It will start, speed up or slow down all based on the temperature of the charge air, engine coolant and/or the temperature of the hydraulic oil. The (ECU) electronic control unit automatically adjusts fan speed to the minimum required level to maintain optimal operating conditions, and default to fan at full speed if an error in the controller exists.

NOTE: Placing the switch in the FULL ON position activates the computer alarm to advise the switch has been placed in the FULL ON position. Also while the switch is in the FULL ON position the Automatic Cleaning cycle is prevented.

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

2.26

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Controls and Operation

CAUTION Before placing the fan switch in the CLEAN position make sure that there are no personnel near the REAR of the machine in the area where the fan will expel debris.

CLEAN - UP POSITION - Momentarily pressing the switch to the CLEAN positon will automatically start reversing the direction of fan rotation (there is no need to hold the switch down). Reverse rotation is used to clean the charge air cooler, radiator, oil cooler, A/C condenser and air intake door screens.

By “reversing” the flow of the fan, air flow is propelled in the opposite direction, thereby forcing dust and debris off of the radiator.

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

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

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

NOTE: The CLEAN cycle also operates automatically via the timed purge function of the computer control system (frequency is adjustable) when the switch is in the AUTO position. Refer to COMPUTER – INFORMATION MESSAGES and COMPUTER – DIAGNOSTIC – ADJUST FUNCTION PARAMETERS in THIS SECTION. NOTE: If engine speed falls to 875 rpm or less than the fan speed, control is automatically overridden and fan speed defaults to the forward direction.

DISCHARGE OF THE SYSTEM When an electrical signal (automatic or manual) is received by the control panel it sends a discharge signal to the electrical actuator located on top of the pressurized cylinder. When activated the electrical/pneumatic actuator extends a control shaft which mechanically opens the agent cylinder valve. This releases the dry chemical in the discharge area protected by the system. The control panel will also automatically shut down the engine and all electrical power.

NOTE: The engine does not shut down automatically when the fire suppression system is activated using the nitrogen actuator. When using the nitrogen actuator to activate the fire suppression system the operator must shut the engine off manually.

The automatic engine shutdown feature will either shutdown the engine immediately the fire suppression system is discharged (non leveling machines) OR will delay the shutdown for a period of between 10 to 15 seconds for leveling machines. The time delay period is a factory setting. This delay feature allows the operator to lower the load or move the machine to a safer location before the engine shuts down. The operator can extend the engine shutdown delay feature by pressing the RELAY RESET button on the control panel to repeat the preset delay period. This button can be pressed repeatedly until the operator has brought the machine to a safe stop. The RELAY RESET button does not delay the discharge of the fire suppression system.

23. HYDRAULIC TANK VACUUM SWITCH (OPTIONAL) The purpose of the vacuum pump system is to hold the hydraulic oil in the tank when servicing pumps and other hydraulic components, minimizing oil spill. When activated, a solenoid valve closes off the hydraulic tank breather air supply. The pump removes tank air to create a vacuum, which then holds the oil in the reservoir. This system eliminates the need to drain the hydraulic tank beforehand.

With the ignition key OFF, activate the vacuum pump by placing the switch in the ON position.

SIDE DOOR EMERGENCY EXIT

22. SIDE DOOR EMERGENCY EXIT This side door serves as one of two emergency exit routes from the cab. Shut off engine before using this exit. Opening the side door WILL NOT DE-ACTIVATE the pilot system, for this reason only use this door in an emergency. In the event that it cannot be used, use the emergency escape hatch in the roof of the cab.

NOTE: When the ignition key is in the RUN position, the vacuum pump system will not start. Alternatively if the vacuum pump is on, the engine cannot be started. The vacuum pump also will not start if the battery disconnect switch is in the OFF position.

2.34

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION

SEAT TOO HIGH/SEAT TOO LOW There are several things which can cause improper seat height. Refer to HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES and adjust seat to the desired position. If the proper height cannot be reached using one of the four height adjustment settings, it may be necessary to install the seat on a higher base.

RIDES TOO STIFF/SEAT TENDS TO PUSH OR THROW OPERATOR FORWARD The air ride control valve has over pressurized the seat air suspension. This typically happens because the operator is trying to use the air suspension to adjust the ride height rather than using height adjustment lever to raise the seat.

Refer to HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES.

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 in a “bucket”. Refer to HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT and RIDE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES.

RIDES TOO SOFT OR BOTTOMS OUT AND PINCHES OPERATOR The air ride control valve has under pressurized the seat air suspension ride adjustment Insufficient pressure exaggerates the knee-action movement of the seat. This usually happens because the operator is trying to lower the seat by decreasing the amount of air pressure instead of using the height adjustment lever. Refer to HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES.

Controls and Operation

AUTO-IDLE SETTINGS Enabling the Auto Idle function allows the engine to return to idle when the system detects that the hydraulic functions are not in use resulting in greater fuel economy.

Use the up or down arrow buttons to scroll to AUTO-IDLE PRESSURE and press OK. H855C-102

Once in the AUTO-IDLE menu there are 4 selections to choose from.

ON. This will turn the Auto Idle function on and whenever the hydraulic functions are not in use the engine will return to idle. If the LS Pressure sensor is below the set point (AUTO-IDLE PRESSURE) and Pump 1 remains on then the engine will not return to idle.

OFF. This will turn the Auto Idle function off and the engine will only return to idle when the operator manually adjusts it.

ON-IGNORE PUMP 1. This will turn the Auto Idle function on but the system will ignore Pump 1, so if the LS Pressure Sensor is below the set point (AUTO-IDLE PRESSURE) and Pump 1 remains on then the engine will return to idle.

This is the amount of load sense pressure (in psi) to indicate that no hydraulics are being used.

Once the pressure drops below this setting the auto idle function is activated.

ON-PUMP 1 HIGHER RPM. This will turn the Auto Idle function on but allow a second idle speed to be selected. (see Pump 1 Idle Down RPM) If the LS Pressure Sensor is below the set point (AUTOIDLE PRESSURE) and Pump 1 remains on then the engine will return to a preset idle speed. If Pump 1 is off and the LS Pressure Sensor is below the set point then the engine will return to the normal idle speed.

Use the up or down arrow buttons to adjust this setting and press OK. The factory default is 180 psi.

Use the up arrow or down arrow buttons to scroll to the desired selection and press OK. If any of the Auto Idle ON selections have been enabled then the following screens will allow for fine tuning of the Auto Idle function.

To ensure maximum engine protection, it is important that the elements be serviced correctly and at proper servicing intervals. Refer to AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE, in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL.

845C-070

PRECLEANER OPERATION

How it works: 1. Air enters the underside of the dome through screened louvers, which prevents clogging by blocking any particles larger than the ejection slot from entering the unit.

2. Curved particle accelerator blades slam air and dirt up against the sidewall 3. Strakes along the interior surface move heavier-than-air debris towards the ejection slot 4. Clean air continues to swirl down into the engine air inlet pipe The engine air precleaner cleans engine air before it reaches the air cleaner filter elements.

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

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 that debris removed from one area of the machine does not accumulate on other areas of the machine.

NOTE: The cooling assembly must be checked daily and may have to be thoroughly cleaned on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, depending on operating conditions. Use personal protective equipment (eye wear) to guard against flying debris. Use compressed air for cleaning only when the machine is cold to avoid the risk of fire caused by debris contacting hot surfaces. Care must be taken not to set the pressure too high otherwise damage to the components could result.

CHARGE AIR COOLER (CAC)

Pay particular attention to cleaning in the corners of the cooler as these areas usually plug deeply.

Reversing the fan at least once per hour will help reduce the dust accumulation in the cooler cores, see COOLING FAN SWITCH, CLEAN POSITION earlier in this section to manually reverse fan or see ADJUST MENU/MACHINE PARAMETERS/ TIMED PURGE INTERVAL for resetting computer to change cooling fan purge interval to program the fan to reverse every hour automatically.

For more information on fire prevention refer to FIRE PREVENTION in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL. If an oil leak occurs in this area it should be thoroughly power-washed with a mild soap to ensure that all of the oil is removed. The presence of oil causes dust and dirt to cling to surfaces which will impair the reversible fan’s ability to remove dust and dirt particles.

After completion of the warm-up and system testing, rest the attachment on the ground and turn the attachment OFF. (n) Set the swing brake to the ON position. (o) Set the throttle control to LOW IDLE

.

(p) Leave the cab and visually check hose connections and cylinders for leaks. Check under the machine for oil leaks.

(d) Ensure computer display is indicating normal operating conditions.

WARNING

(e) Check that all personnel are clear of the machine. (f) Increase engine speed 1300 rpm.

to approximately Never use your bare hand to check for fluid leaks.

Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible.

When searching for leaks, wear work gloves and use a wrench or piece of wood to move hydraulic hoses. Do not grab hold of hydraulic hoses.

Wear safety goggles for eye protection.

NOTE: The computer control system on this machine has a warm up mode function which limits engine rpm and applies the anti-stall during cold starts. Refer to WARM UP MODE in THIS SECTION for more information. (g) Slowly raise and lower the stick and hoist booms. Slowly move the booms in and out.

Check for proper operation.

With the attachment raised slightly off the ground: (h) Operate telescopic boom IN and OUT and check that it is operating correctly, if applicable. (i) Rotate the attachment and check that it is operating correctly. (j) Swing the upper frame to the left and right. (k) When cold weather conditions exist, continue the process of warming up the hydraulic system by repeating steps (g) thru’’ (j) several times. As the hydraulic system warms up, engine speed can be increased gradually to the HIGH IDLE position. If the FILTER BYPASS warning message comes on decrease engine speed immediately and continue warming the system.

2.119

Controls and Operation TRAVELLING (BOOM RAISED) 1. Select the appropriate drive range.

Place the track switch in the LOW or DRIVE position.

When in LOW the machine moves slower but with increased drive force. All harvesting should be done in LOW. When in DRIVE the machine moves faster but with less drive force. Travelling over longer distances (and not harvesting) should be done in DRIVE to allow for faster travel speeds when the terrain permits. Also, DO NOT travel continuously for longer than 10 minutes, take 5 minute breaks, this will help prevent the track drive gearboxes from over heating.

For a more detailed description of drive range refer to TRACK, LOW/DRIVE SWITCH in THIS SECTION. 2. Place swing brake switch in OFF position.

3. Move throttle control to the HIGH idle position.

4. Operate the drive foot pedals to manoeuvre the machine.

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester OPERATING TIPS WITH LOAD SENSING When using the controls on a load sensing system be aware of what the load sensing system is trying to do for you. If you move the lever or pedal 20% of its total angle, the system will provide whatever pressure it takes (up to its maximum capacity if needed) to meet this speed requirement. If you move the lever past the point needed in an attempt to speed up the boom movement, you will only overshoot the speed you wanted. Relax and try to use the least amount of lever action you can.

Load sensing systems respond to rough operation by amplifying these movements. If you find the boom is jerky or always giving “feedback”, you’re probably too active on the controls. If slowing down doesn’t eliminate the roughness, the margin pressure setting may be too high and can be reduced to calm down the machine’s response.

Refer to SET MARGIN PRESSURE in SECTION 4 of the SERVICE MANUAL Refer to SET FLOW (FUNCTION SPEED) RATE in appropriate BOOM, SWING or TRACK DRIVE sections of the SERVICE MANUAL.

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester ATTACHMENT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Controls and Operation SPECIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ER BOOM SYSTEM

1. All tree harvesting should be carried out in LOW driving range. Refer to TRACK, LOW/DRIVE SWITCH in THIS SECTION.

NORMAL HORIZONTAL REACH MOTION PERFORMANCE CAN BE EXPECTED IN THIS AREA

2. Refer to HARVESTING ATTACHMENT GENERAL SAFETY in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL.

OPERATING THE HOIST BOOM IN THIS ZONE WITH A FULL LOAD WILL NOT ALLOW THE HORIZONTAL REACH MOTION TO PERFORM AS IT SHOULD WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM THE RIGHT JOYSTICK

3. Read and understand the operating and safety instructions found in the ATTACHMENT MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL for the harvesting head installed on this machine.

845C-017

HORIZONTAL REACH MOTION CHARACTERISTICS

This ER boom system is designed to minimize heat generation and fuel consumption during horizontal boom motion. To obtain maximum benefit from the system, the machine should be operated using mainly horizontal reaching motions as much as possible, lifting and lowering the boom only as much as necessary for positioning until the head is full.

Due to the nature of this ER boom system, there will be certain conditions in which the weight of the head plus its carried load will be too great for the system to provide its intended horizontal reaching motion. This most notably occurs when the machine is operating on a hill with the head raised higher than the tracks and tucked in close to the cab. If such a situation occurs, the right joystick control should be pushed forward slightly while operating the left joystick to get the system moving. To help prevent this situation, the head should be kept as close to the ground as possible and slightly extended when climbing hills.

CARE OF THE MACHINE

CARE OF POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS IN CAB

1. Ensure that all fluid levels are always at the proper level. Refer to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL.

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

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

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

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

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

2. Lubricate all grease points at the required intervals as specified in the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL. 3. Follow proper procedure for cleaning windows described in this section.

4. Close and secure all doors and access panels before running the machine.

5. Ensure that the cab emergency exits are in working order by following the EMERGENCY EXIT MAINTENANCE guide in this section.

6. Do not allow branches, twigs, leaves or pine needles to build up around radiator intake doors or anywhere else on the machine.

Clean as operating conditions warrant but at least once day all debris must be remove from the machine interior.

7. Do not apply load to a cold engine.

8. Always harvest trees in LOW driving range.

9. Never park machine with head raised off the ground. Be sure that the head is resting on the ground before servicing or parking the machine. Refer to PARKING BOOM in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL for complete instructions.

10. SAFETY FIRST! Follow all safety rules and regulations as outlined in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL.

2.122

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Controls and Operation

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

• Inspect all windows daily and immediately after any impacts.

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

• The edges of the polycarbonate window must be evenly and fully supported on a flat surface around the entire window opening at all times.

Bent or dented skylight structures must be replaced immediately. Bent or dented cab structures must be evaluated immediately for possible repair or replacement.

• The edges of the polycarbonate window must be free from cracks, chips, notches or scarring and must not be pinched or stressed.

These defects will decrease ability to resist heavy impacts. Windows with these defects must be replaced immediately.

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

Windows with these defects must be replaced immediately.

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

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

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

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

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

Other chemicals however can seriously weaken the polycarbonate.

DO NOT permit any of the following chemicals to come into contact with polycarbonate windows: • acetone • air conditioning refrigerant • ammonia • anti-freeze • benzene • brake fluid • carbon tetrachloride • cutting oils • gasoline • lacquer thinner • toluene • turpentine • xylene RESISTANCE TO WATER Polycarbonate material has good resistance to water up to approximately 65°C (150°F). Above this temperature the effect of water is timetemperature related. This means that the higher the water temperature, the shorter the time before the polycarbonate is adversely affected.

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

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTIONS

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

•

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

•

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

•

DO NOT clean polycarbonate windows when the daytime temperature is high or in direct sunlight.

•

DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on polycarbonate windows.

•

DO NOT use glass cleaners in either aerosol or non-aerosol containers to clean polycarbonate windows.

•

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

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

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

Brand name soaps and detergents recommended for cleaning polycarbonate are: • Fantastik • Formula 409 • Hexcel F.O. 554 • Joy • Lysol • Mr. Clean • Neleco-Placer • Pine-Sol • Top Job 3. Rinse the window thoroughly with lukewarm water.

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

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

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

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

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

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

2.124

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Controls and Operation

GRAFFITI REMOVAL •

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

•

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

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

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

REMOVAL OF ANTI-CORROSION SPRAY (IF APPLICABLE) Some machines, particularly machines shipped outside North America, are shipped with an optional anti-corrosion spray to protect the machine from corrosion during shipment.

WINDOW SCREEN HAND KNOB

860C-396

SIDE WINDOW SCREEN

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

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

All hand knobs should be hand tightened only at all times.

TIGERCAT OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM Using the Tigercat Advanced Oil Analysis Program on a regular basis is an excellent preventative maintenance tool.

Studies have shown that it is possible to receive a 10 to 1 payback when looking at the amount saved on repair costs to the amount invested in a scheduled oil analysis program. Some of the benefits of a sampling program include: •

Detect problems early before they become major catastrophic failures.

•

Better ability to schedule downtime and forecast cost of repairs.

•

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

•

Increase used equipment value by providing proof of proper maintenance.

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

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

TIGERCAT OIL SAMPLING PROGRAM OIL SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES

HYDRAULIC SAMPLE VALVE

Fill out the Sample Information Form (SIF) completely and accurately. When taking multiple oil samples, fill out all of the required SIF's in their entirety, prior to taking any oil samples. Then, immediately package each completed SIF together with the matching oil sample in the black outer shipping container as each individual sample is taken. This will reduce the possibility of mixing up or incorrectly identifying the SIF's and oil samples.

Incorrectly identified samples could result in a false warning alarm.

H855C-31

Hydraulic Oil Samples:

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

Erroneous readings may result if proper collection, handling, packaging and shipping practices are not followed prior to the sample being tested by the lab. To be able to accurately compare and trend the lab results over time, all follow-up samples should be consistently taken from the same location using the same techniques as all previous samples.

•

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

•

Remove the sample bottle cap only when ready to take the sample. Keep the cap clean – DO NOT put it in your pocket or let it get contaminated in any way.

•

DO NOT allow any airborne dirt, etc. to enter the sample bottle.

•

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

HYDRAULIC OIL

•

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.

•

To obtain a representative oil sample, sample valves must be purged before the actual oil sample is taken. Drain a minimum of 90-120 ml (3-4 ounces) of oil into a separate container and discard this oil using approved recycling methods.

•

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

Gearbox Samples:

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

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

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

3.6

•

These samples can be taken during the oil change process.

•

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

•

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

•

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

Lubrication and Maintenance

GENERAL Inspect the EXHAUST BLANKET and 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.

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

Clean around filler caps before checking or adding fluids.

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

During daily operation of the machine, the occurrence of exhaust leaks are usually accompanied by a change or increase in engine exhaust noise levels. These audible warnings cannot be ignored. 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.

Clean up all spills immediately.

Always release pressure in hydraulic tank before breaking a connection. For machines with pressurized tanks.

Always use clean oil and containers.

Drain dirty oil while still warm.

Do not exceed recommended fluid levels.

Service all hydraulic strainers and filters after the failure of a pump, motor, cylinder or valve.

Failures of this nature could contaminate the entire hydraulic system.

Always have a fire extinguisher at hand.

For safety, always lower boom assembly to the ground when leaving cab, leaving machine unattended or during service.

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

Before welding on machine, be sure to disconnect all electrical connections and follow all servicing safety precautions as outlined in WELDING, PRIOR TO in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL. When welding, secure ground connection as close to working position as possible to prevent arcing across machined surfaces or through bearings.

Always install door safety struts when working on machine.

Clean fire suppression system sensors.

CHECK EMERGENCY EXITS, MONTHLY: Two alternate exit routes are provided: side door emergency exit and roof escape hatch/ emergency exit. These are only to be used if the front door cannot be opened.

It is therefore essential that these emergency exits be checked at least once per month to ensure they are fully operational.

Clean away all branches, bark and chips.

Clean up all traces of oil to avoid fires.

Refer to EMERGENCY EXIT MAINTENANCE GUIDE in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL for checking procedure.

Lubrication and Maintenance

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FREQUENTLY: • Check engine cooling air intake enclosure screens for possible restriction In broad leaf applications it may be necessary to reverse the cooling fan as frequently as every 10 mins.

• Check for debris, snow and ice buildup on emergency exits and remove accumulation immediately.

• ER Boom system:

‡ Lubricating cylinder pins and boom joints: 1. Ensure machine is on level ground

2. Fully retract telescopic stick (if equipped)

3. Lay attachment on ground

4. Force tip of stick boom onto support

5. While in this position lubricate all cylinder retaining pins and boom joints

NOTE: This procedure will allow grease to flow to the normally "loaded side" of the pin/bearing surfaces.

Periodically, the hoist boom must be lifted up as far as it will go and then lowered to operating height in an area free from overhead obstructions in order to circulate hydraulic oil from the cylinders back through the cooler and filters. This oil does not circulate through the cooler or filters during normal horizontal motion and the oil does not get completely changed during normal vertical motion, so it is important that this procedure be followed at least once every hour.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ER BOOM SYSTEM

Before attempting to disconnect hydraulic hoses or perform work on the boom system, ensure that:

WARNING

STICK CYLINDERS FULLY EXTENDED

This machine is equipped with an ER boom system. Because of this, it may behave in an unexpected manner compared to a conventional boom system.

When performing maintenance procedures or setting up a machine equipped with an ER boom system, the following points must be noted: The hoist and stick cylinders circuits are connected hydraulically. Thus, disconnecting a hydraulic line to a boom cylinder may cause either boom to move unexpectedly. The booms may also move unexpectedly if a port relief adjusting screw is unscrewed (counterclockwise) too far and the pressure drops below that which is required to hold the weight of the booms and attachment. Ensure that the attachment is resting squarely on a solid footing and the stick cylinders are fully extended, tank pressure is relieved and engine is shut off before disconnecting any hydraulic lines.

TIP OF STICK BOOM FULLY SUPPORTED

FIG.1 - PARKING BOOM

845C-020

HOIST CYLINDER FULLY RETRACTED

TIP OF STICK BOOM FULLY SUPPORTED 845C-021

FIG.2 - PARKING BOOM

(a) The machine is parked on level ground with the attachment on the ground (FIG. 1). (b) The stick cylinders are fully extended (FIG. 1) or the hoist cylinders fully retracted (FIG. 2). (c) The telescopic boom fully retracted (if equipped) and the tip of the stick boom supported at the rotator pin.

Do not rely on harvester attachment to support the boom system during servicing. Slow leakage in the hydraulic components can cause the attachment to move unexpectedly.

For additional safety precautions refer to ER BOOM SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS in SECTION 1 OF THIS MANUAL. ALSO NOTE: Because of the hydraulic connection between the hoist and stick cylinders, the hoist cylinders can overpower the stick cylinders under certain conditions, causing the stick boom to move unexpectedly. This most often occurs when setting the HOIST BOOM UP relief valve, causing the stick cylinders to extend, but it may also happen at other times if the relief settings are not correct. Ensure that all personnel and equipment are clear of the boom path and that there is sufficient overhead clearance for the head to rise before making any adjustments.

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

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

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

FUEL FILTER

FUEL FILTER/ WATER SEPARATOR

DRAIN TAP

Tier III and IV engines typically use filters with a very fine micron rating. If the fuel supply is dirty, the fuel filter must be replaced more frequently than recommended in the owner’s manual. Operating the machine with a clogged fuel filter will result in low engine power. It is also recommended that the fuel/water separator bowl be drained daily.

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

To prolong the operating life of the fuel filter, ensure that the fuel supply storage tank is clean and free of water and that the fuel is prefiltered prior to adding it to the machine.

HYDRAULIC FILTER SERVICING GUIDELINES IMPORTANT! NEVER PRE-FILL HYDRAULIC FILTERS

Tigercat does not recommend the prefilling of spin-on filters due to the risk of damage to the hydraulic system caused by unfiltered oil. Unfiltered oil used to prefill filters enters directly into the hydraulic circuit. Contaminants in unfiltered oil can cause significant and costly damage to hydraulic valves, pumps and motors. The cleanliness of hydraulic oil cannot be guaranteed unless it is always prefiltered before use.

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester HYDRAULIC TANK PRESSURIZATION INSTRUCTIONS. IMPORTANT! PRESSURIZED HYDRAULIC TANK. 34.5 kPa (5 psi) MAXIMUM. Before servicing hydraulic system, release air pressure from tank using air vent valve.

Releasing hydraulic tank pressure in the event of a hose breakage may reduce oil loss. To release pressure from the hydraulic tank: FILTER/ BREATHER

Contaminated hydraulic fluid can lead to premature failure of hydraulic components and costly repairs. Filters must be replaced at the recommended time intervals, Refer to SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE in THIS SECTION. Use of hydraulic oil filters other than the Tigercat brand could lead to severe wear and rapid failure of hydraulic system components.

NOTE: Expelled air from vent valve will blow accumulated loose debris in the enclosure.

WARNING, HOT HYDRAULIC OIL AND HOT MACHINE SURFACES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS!

•

Before servicing the machine, allow the hydraulic system and machine surfaces to cool down.

•

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

•

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

IMPORTANT! Air vent valve must be opened before changing hydraulic filters and strainers or performing any other service on hydraulic circuits. Do not operate machine with the air vent valve in the open position.

During a filter change or return hose replacement, air is able to enter the return hydraulic circuit.

It is important to bleed as much of this air as possible out prior to restarting the machine. See HYDRAULIC OIL RETURN FILTERS "filter change procedure" in THIS SECTION for instructions on bleeding air from return circuit. AIR BUBBLES IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WILL DAMAGE THE PUMPS. After service is completed, close air vent valve and add air pressure from a clean air source to the hydraulic tank via the schrader valve. Do not exceed 34.5 kPa (5 psi).

AIR CLEANER The air cleaner on this machine uses 2 filter elements, a primary element and a safety element.

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

In addition to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE outlined in THIS SECTION, the following instructions should also be noted:

845C-070

The most common and most damaging air intake servicing problems are:

PRECLEANER OPERATION

How it works: 1 - Air enters the underside of the dome through screened louvers, which prevents clogging by blocking any particles larger than the ejection slot from entering the unit.

2 - Curved particle accelerator blades slam air and dirt up against the sidewall 3 - Strakes along the interior surface move heavier-than air debris towards the ejection slot

OVER SERVICING Filter elements increase in dust cleaning efficiency as dust builds up on the media. Looks can be deceiving. A filter that looks dirty is actually more efficient than one that is clean. A filter with dust build up on the media reaches nearly 100% dust cleaning efficiency. Only when a filter is so clogged with dirt that air restriction goes beyond engine manufacturer's guidelines, should a filter be replaced.

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

4 - Clean air continues to swirl down into the engine air inlet pipe The engine air precleaner cleans engine air before it reaches the air cleaner filter elements. It removes contaminants such as dust, powder, insects, rain and snow. This precleaner is self powered and self cleaning requiring virtually no maintenance.

However, it should be checked daily to make sure that foreign materials have not plugged the intake area or the exhaust port area of the precleaner.

IMPROPER SERVICING Engine exposure to dust during servicing is the largest single reason for engine damage due to dust.

Abrasive dust can easily enter the intake system once the air cleaner cover and protective filter element is removed for replacement. The safety element does reduce this risk but it should also be replaced at every third primary element change.

3.34

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Lubrication and Maintenance

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

2. Avoid dislodging dust from filter element(s) by gently pulling the element off the outlet tube.

3. Always clean the sealing surface of the outlet tube before inserting a new filter element.

4. Always clean the inside of the outlet tube.

5. Check your old filter. It can help you detect foreign material on the sealing surface that is causing leakage.

NOTE: Filter elements should never be cleaned and reused. Cleaning causes dust to bypass the filter and be deposited on the inner surface of the filter media. The dust is then drawn directly into the engine.

6. Inspect the new filter for damage.

7. Insert the new filter properly. Apply pressure to the outer rim of the filter not the flexible centre.

8. Inspect connections and ducts for air tight fit.

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

UNLOADER VALVE

H845C-46

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

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

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

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

Lubrication and Maintenance

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester Alternate turning directions.

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

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

Start every shift with a clean undercarriage.

When mud and debris build up on the lower part of your machine, components wear at a faster rate.

Do not begin work until the undercarriage area is clean.

Make gradual turns instead of counterrotations.

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

In the event a counter rotation is required some machine operators will carefully push the boom and attachment down against a suitable obstacle and lift the forward or rear sections of the track off the ground. The operator will then counter rotate the tracks while swinging the upper frame. This will disengage most of the track length from the ground during the counter rotation resulting in less site damage and potentially less track wear.

This is a complex maneuver and should only be completed with fully trained and experienced operators working in stable ground conditions.

Inspect the undercarriage before you start working.

In addition to ensuring that the undercarriage is clean, spend a couple of minutes on a visual inspection. Check for loose bolts, leaky seals and abnormal wear patterns. When you spot potential problems early, you can often prevent them from turning into bigger issues that reduce component life significantly or cause expensive unscheduled downtime.

Don't spin the tracks.

Track spinning, reduces production, it increases fuel consumption, without a corresponding increase in productivity. And it accelerates undercarriage wear, so your costs escalate.

Grouser bars are especially prone to wear problems associated with track slippage.

Watch your speed.

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

Avoid unnecessary reverse operation.

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

Work up or down a slope whenever possible.

Working across a slope can shorten undercarriage component life, so try to structure the job with minimal cross-slope activity.

3.38

Tigercat H845C/LH845C Harvester

Lubrication and Maintenance

Watch transition areas.

Try to minimize travel over transition obstacles as this accelerates undercarriage wear. If you must go across a transition, position the machine 90° to the transition. Without ground support, the undercarriage is subjected to side stresses that can result in rapid, excessive wear.

Other factors:

Application refers to the type of work you do.

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

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

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

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

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

Tight track is the number-one "track killer." But whether your track is too loose or too tight, improper adjustment accelerates wear which can increase downtime and repair costs. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for track adjustment, and always perform the adjustment in the machine's working environment. A second important maintenance process is cleaning the undercarriage. To maximize wear life, remove mud and debris at the end of every shift, or more frequently if necessary.

Talk to the experts: Undercarriage components are expensive!

To get long life and maximum value from your investment, consult with a dealer or factory rep that really knows the undercarriage business.

Ask for advice on operating techniques. Explore relevant application, material and terrain issues.

Fine-tune your maintenance processes. Working together with an undercarriage expert, you can manage your equipment investment over the long term.

5. Measure distance between top surface of track shoe at centre of lower surface of track frame.

TORQUE PROCEDURE

•

6. This dimension should be between 4" and 6" for normal operations.

NOTE: If track sag is less than specified, track chain wear will be accelerated. If track sag is excessive, it is possible for the track to jump off the sprocket.

3.40

-

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

-

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

-

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

The method is also used on other critical joints, such as sprocket, master sections, final drives. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS in SECTION 11 of the SERVICE MANUAL.

Assembly Torque

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

• Four bolts and washer

WASHERS BOLTS FLANGE CLAMP

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

Flange Port Assembly

FLANGE HEAD O-RING TAPPED HOLES

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

2. Lubricate the O-ring.

3. Position flange and clamp halves.

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

5. Hand tighten bolts.

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