WARNING

DO NOT operate this machine to lift or move any objects other than what it is designed to lift or move. The boom system is intended for use in the tree felling applications only. • Do not use the boom to service other equipment. • Do not use the boom to lift items such as tires, engines, cylinders, boom components, etc. • Do not modify the boom system. • Do not add hooks or lugs to the boom for the purpose of attaching lifting rigging. • Do not use the attachment for any purpose other than the intended felling function.

Maintain a safe operating distance between the machine and workers and all other personnel. It is the duty of the operator to ensure that no person approach the machine while in use. Failure to follow the above instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Never use this machine to clear a logging deck on a new tract of timber when the rest of the equipment and operators are also moving in. Preplan to clear decks in advance before other equipment arrives. Never work alone. Regularly inform other crew members of your intentions, location and length of time to perform duties. Stop the attachment before leaving the harvesting area. Park machine at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from other equipment and in a cleared area. In the event of a fire, this distance will minimize the chance of the fire spreading to other equipment. Before leaving operator's cab, lower the felling attachment onto the ground. If out of the operator's cab for an extended period shut the machine off.

When parking the machine:

• Park on level ground only and engage the swing brake. • Do not park on a hillside or incline. • Lower attachment onto level ground. • Stop the engine. • Turn the battery disconnect switch OFF if the vehicle is to be parked for an extended period of time (Example - overnight).

NOTE:

Wait 30 seconds after engine shut down before turning off battery disconnect switch. If battery disconnect is turned off before this the engine ECM (Engine Control Module) will register a fault. When transporting the machine watch that enough clearance is available on both sides and above the machine or any of its attachments to avoid contact with power or telephone lines, bridge structures, etc. Before transporting the machine check to ensure that all doors, panels and access covers are installed properly and secured. Improperly secured doors or panels pose a serious danger to pedestrians and other vehicles.
