Tigercat H855D/LH855D Harvester AVOID INJURY FROM BACKOVER ACCIDENTS
Before moving machine, be sure all persons are clear of the area. Be alert for bystanders moving into the work area. Use horn to warn bystanders before moving the machine. When using a signal person, keep the person in view at all times. Be sure the signal person is clear before backing up. To avoid backover accidents: • Look around before you back up. Be sure that everyone is clear. • Keep motion warning alarm in working condition. The motion warning alarm must sound when the machine is moving in forward or reverse. • Use a signal person when backing up if view is obstructed. Keep the signal person in view. • Learn the meaning of all flags, signs and markings on the job site and who is responsible for signalling. • Keep windows, mirrors and lights in good condition. • Dust, heavy rain, fog, snow etc. can reduce visibility. As visibility decreases, reduce speed and use proper lighting. Turn off the engine when refuelling. Do not refuel the machine or work on the fuel system while smoking or near open flame or sparks.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR TIER 4F MACHINES ONLY:
D
Attach a grounding strap to an unpainted metal surface on the machine if the refuelling tank or nozzle is so equipped. Check that no other personnel have moved into a hazardous area before starting the machine. Sound the machine horn before starting the machine.
The operator’s seat is equipped with lap and shoulder harness belts. Use both of these restraint systems at all times when operating the machine. Start the engine according to the instructions in this manual. Refer to OPERATING MACHINE in SECTION 2 of THIS MANUAL.
WARNING
41581AUNI R0
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) may irritate eyes or skin. Avoid eye and skin contact. First Aid treatment: DEF contains Urea. If swallowed call a Poison Control Center or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes rinse with water for 15 minutes. If on skin rinse well with water. If irritation persists seek medical treatment.
WARNING
Use only diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) which meets ISO 22241 specifications. NEVER fill the DEF tank with any other fluid. DEF is injected into the exhaust gas stream during normal operation of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system. Use of other fluids may cause component damage, or a fire risk which could result in death or serious injury.
Never use a liquid starting aid to start an engine. This machine is equipped with a computer controlled heating element in the engine intake system. Starting fluids will explode on contact with the heating element.
Before moving the machine to the work site, check to ensure that all doors, panels, and access covers are installed properly and secured.
CAB EXITS
There are three ways to exit the cab in case of an emergency.
FRONT DOOR
This is also the main point of entry and is the only door that should be used under normal operating conditions to enter or leave the cab. This door is also equipped with a safety interlock switch. See SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH ON FRONT DOOR in this section.
SIDE DOOR
Should be used for emergency exits only. Do not use this door to routinely enter or leave the cab. This door is not equipped with a safety interlock switch and therefore when left open will not deactivate the pilot controls in the cab. Shut OFF the engine before using the side door exit.
ESCAPE HATCH
This is a third cab exit for use if the side exit or front door exit become blocked. This hatch is not equipped with a safety interlock switch and therefore when left open will not deactivate the pilot controls in the cab. Shut OFF the engine before using the escape hatch exit. It is important the operator of the machine be familiar with these emergency exits and how to use them. All operators should practice using all the cab exits to become familiar with escape procedures should they need to perform them in the dark, when the machine is in a rolled position, or other possible adverse conditions. All three exits should be checked to make sure they are operational and will function in an emergency. The safety interlock mechanism on the front door or the side door and escape hatch retaining mechanisms must not be tampered with or compromised.
IMPORTANT!
Unlock both doors before operating machine to allow opening from the outside in case of an emergency. Make sure the doors are operational, open the doors twice, once using the exterior latch handle and once using the interior handle. For additional information, refer to EMERGENCY EXITS in SECTION 2 of THIS MANUAL.
Safety SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH ON FRONT DOOR:
The front door is equipped with a safety interlock switch to prevent the machine from being operated while the front door is open (pilot system is shut off).
Push the red PILOT OFF switch and confirm the PILOT OFF Icon is activated (yellow) on the computer display before removing seat belt. Do not use the front door interlock switch to turn pilot OFF. NOTE: Engine can be started but the machine functions cannot be operated with the door open.
A B
TO OPERATE:
Close the front door and press the green pilot ON reset switch . The pilot ON icon will be activated (green) on the computer display. Once the safety interlock system has been activated, the safety of both the operator and all persons outside the cab becomes the responsibility of the operator.
1. When the engine is running, do not allow anyone in areas of the machine where they may be crushed by moving components. 2. Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine and other personnel. Never operate the boom or attachments over the heads of bystanders. 3. Never travel near coworkers or other pieces of equipment with the attachment saw running. 4. Do not allow people or other pieces of equipment near the harvesting operation. 5. Do not turn ON the harvester head until the machine is at the work site. 6. Use only prearranged and approved signalling practices. Do not open an escape hatch or the cab doors to increase ventilation when operating the machine.
