Safety 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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued 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 600°F (315°C).

Maintain a distance of 10 ft. (3m) between the machine or boom and any power line carrying up to 50,000 volts or less plus 1/2 inch (10mm) for each addition 1,000 volts above the 50,000 volt level.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued CAUTION Do not open cab doors or window screens when cab is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force. Anyone in the path of swing could be injured.

MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION 26°

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.

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

UPHILL

LH830-08 LH830-09

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

BOOM TO FRONT

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.

KEEP ATTACHMENT CLOSE TO GRADE

••

Backing over obstacles unexpectedly while traveling 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 front and the attachment should be kept close to the ground (FIG. 3). When descending a slope the boom should face the rear and the attachment should be kept close to the ground (FIG.4). Be aware that the machine is in its least stable postion on a slope with the boom to the rear (see also FIG.1). Be particularly aware of machine stability when changing directions on, or travelling back down a slope.

•

TRACK GEAR BOX AT REAR OF UNDERCARRIAGE LH830-04

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.

Safety

SERVICING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued WARNING Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury, blindness, or death. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with treating this type of injury.

Never use your bare hand to check for fluid leaks.

Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.

Shut off engine. Only remove coolant filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands.

Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

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.

Do not change any pressure or relief setting unless Tigercat authorized instruction has been obtained.

Use the proper tool for the job. Repair or replace worn or damaged tools including lifting equipment immediately.

Pressure can be maintained in a hydraulic system long after the power source and pump have been shut down. Lower the attachment to the ground, stop engine and relieve trapped pressure before performing work on components, or disconnecting any hoses. Refer to PARKING BOOM diagram (fig.5). Accumulators will self drain within 2 minutes of stopping the engine on the LH830 MODEL. Also relieve pressure in the hydraulic reservoir by opening hydraulic tank vent valve and waiting until the sound of escaping air stops.

Keep your hands, feet, head, and loose clothing away from power driven parts. Tie long hair behind your head. Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in moving parts.

Safety dislodged by vibration this smoldering debris can fall into other areas of the machine and thereby spread a fire.

FIRE PREVENTION

5. 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.

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.

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 damage to a minimum.

1. Maintain a CHARGED fire extinguisher on the machine at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

7. Steam clean the engine, transmission, brake, fuel and hydraulic tank compartments of all equipment at least once a month or more frequently depending on logging conditions.

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

9. Shut down equipment immediately when a problem is suspected or smoke is detected.

2. Inspect the machine for any signs of fuel or hydraulic system leakage and check for worn or eroded fuel or hydraulic lines before starting up any equipment.

10. Park the machine at least 50 feet away from other equipment at the end of each shift.

3. Remove debris and blow out dust regularly from the air intake doors, engine radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, A/C condenser core and on later machines the charge air cooler to prevent overheating of the engine and hydraulics.

Refer to CLEANING A/C CONDENSER, OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL.

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

4. Blow off all debris and dust 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 depending on logging conditions. 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 smolder. If 1.20

11. Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF at shut down to avoid loss by electrical short.

13. Once a fire has started on a machine hoses will quickly burn through causing pressurized fluids (diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, etc.) to fuel the fire. NEVER leave the machine parked with booms or arches suspended off the ground, as they will inject hydraulic oil into the fire if a supporting hose burns through.

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

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

16. Use only nonflammable solutions for cleaning the machine or components.

Safety WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A MACHINE FIRE

FIRE PREVENTION continued

•

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

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.

•

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

If the machine is in a dangerous position, attempt to move to a safe position. Lower working attachment to the ground.

•

Shut the engine off.

•

Activate the fire suppression system*

•

Radio or call for help (as appropriate).

•

Exit the machine taking fire extinguisher or water hose (if applicable) with you.

•

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

•

If you can safely do so, attempt to extinguish the fire.

EQUIPMENT FIRES ADVERSELY EFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO LOG, MAY INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS DRAMATICALLY OR PREVENT YOU FROM OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE AT ALL. WHAT ELSE TO DO BEFORE YOU EXPERIENCE A FIRE •

Ensure that you are familiar with emergency procedure in the event of a fire.

•

•

Ensure that your fire suppression system* is charged and functional.

A dry chemical fire extinguisher should be used first, if available.

•

Use the PASS method with most extinguishers.

•

Ensure that any hand held fire extinguishers are charged and functional.

•

Ensure that any stored water systems on the machine are charged and functional.

•

Ensure that the nozzle of any hand held extinguishers available at the work site fits within the access holes in the doors of the machine.

•

Ensure that you have the proper fire extinguishers on site. Most fires involving mobile equipment will be of the A or B type.

You should have a dry chemical extinguisher rated ABC and a pressurized water extinguisher rated A.

•

Prevent the fire from happening by ensuring that the machine is cleaned regularly and all systems are well maintained.

•

Pull the pin. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.

•

Aim at the base of the fire. If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.

•

Squeeze the top handle or lever. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher.

•

Sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.

Continued on page 20

*NOTE: Dry chemical fire suppression systems are offered by Tigercat as an optional installation on some of the Tigercat product lines. Please disregard any references made to fire suppression systems if not installed on your machine.

20229A

TYPICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER ACCESS HOLE

•

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

•

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

•

Use the pressurized water hose supplied with the machine (if applicable) or a pressurized water extinguisher (if available) after the discharge of a dry chemical extinguisher or suppression system* to remove heat build up from the area. A fire suppressed by a dry chemical powder may re-ignite with the latent heat of any debris in the area.

•

Remain with the machine until help arrives to ensure that the fire does not re-ignite.

•

Ensure that the machine and all components have cooled down sufficiently after a fire has occurred. Beware of the possibility of coolant or hydraulic hoses rupturing after a fire spraying hot oil or coolant which may result in severe burns.

1.22

•

Notify your equipment dealer and or Tigercat Industries Inc. by completing an incident report, Tigercat form number 5101.

•

Ensure that the cause of the fire is determined and all appropriate repairs are completed before returning the machine to work.

•

Ensure that the fire suppression system* is properly serviced and returned to a functional state (if applicable).

•

Ensure that all extinguishers used in fighting the fire are replaced or recharged as appropriate.

Place throttle in FULL position before turning saw 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 saw 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.

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.

NOTE ALSO: On Harvester Model Machines this saw switch supplies power to the attachment's control systems.

It should be noted that the available torque when travelling at maximum speed is only 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. *This amount of adjustment can be anywhere from a slight reduction in speed to all the way down to LOW, this will be dependant 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 1 to 2 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 .

Press and hold this switch in the CLEAN (PURGE) position to run the cooling fan in reverse. With this switch in the "normal" position the hydraulically driven cooling fan will be turning and drawing cool air through the debris screen and cooling assembly. The air is expelled to atmosphere through the perforated panels that make up the engine enclosure.

CAUTION Before placing the fan switch in the CLEAN (PURGE) position make sure that there are no personnel on the radiator intake area of the machine where the fan will expel debris.

NOTE: The air flow in the CLEAN (PURGE) mode is substantially less than in the NORMAL (FORWARD) mode. Reduce load on engine whenever placing fan in CLEAN mode.

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 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. At the same time the control panel will also automatically shut down the engine.

will automatically shutdown either immediately or will be delayed for 10 to 15 seconds if the machine is a leveller.

IMPORTANT: Stop the engine before discharging the system. This will keep the dry chemical in the engine area.

Get away from the machine. Take a portable fire extinguisher along if possible or obtain one from another location.

Stand by with a portable fire extinguisher and watch for any flashbacks after the system has discharged.

The automatic engine shutdown feature will either shutdown the engine immediately the fire suppression system is discharged (none levelling machines) OR will delay the shutdown for a period of between 10 to 15 seconds for levelling 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 delay by pressing the SHUTDOWN 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 SHUTDOWN RESET button does not delay the discharge of the fire suppression system.

Do not restart the machine until it has been serviced and cleaned. Do not return the machine to service until the source of the fire has been located and neutralized. The fire suppression system must be recharged by Amerex Factory Certified Personnel before returning the machine to service.

CAUTION Wear protective clothing and masks when cleaning up after a discharge Before cleaning up after a discharge, read the AMEREX manual. If water mixes with the dry chemical it becomes corrosive and can seriously damage wiring connections.

Controls and operation

AVOIDING DAMAGE AND FALSE DISCHARGES DURING MACHINE SERVICE: Pay attention to the location of the components of the fire suppression system.

Take care not to damage heat sensors or wiring, this includes hitting, cutting, bending, denting, etc. Damage to heat sensors due to shock could cause an accidental discharge of the system. Cut, pinched, or kinked wiring could cause false signals and lead to burnt wiring or an accidental discharge of the system.

In addition thermostats are sensitive to heat from welding torches, steam cleaning or other outside sources which may create a false discharge of the system. Cutting the wiring anywhere along the electrical circuits especially the detection circuits, will cause a false discharge.

If any of the components are damaged replace them immediately.

822-03

It is also important to take care around the chemical cylinder. The chemical cylinder is pressurized and can explode if struck with sufficient force. Pressurized cylinders are extremely hazardous.

WARNING Failure to follow the system manufacturers instructions and guidelines may result in serious bodily injury, death, and property damage.

TRAVELLING (BOOM RAISED)

OPERATING TIPS WITH LOAD SENSING

1. Select the appropriate drive range.

When using the controls on a load sensing system think of what the 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.

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. DO NOT travel down steep slopes in DRIVE range.

Also, DO NOT travel continuously for more than 10 minutes, take 5 minute breaks, this will help prevent the track drive gearboxes from over heating.

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.

For a more detailed description of drive range refer to TRACK, LOW/DRIVE SWITCH in THIS SECTION.

Refer to SET MARGIN PRESSURE in SECTION 4 of the SERVICE MANUAL

2. Place swing brake switch in OFF position.

3. Move throttle control to the HIGH idle position.

ATTACHMENT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

CARE OF THE MACHINE

REMOVING HAIRLINE SCRATCHES

1. Ensure that all fluid levels are always at the proper level. Use the lubrication and maintenance schedule in SECTION 3 of this book.

Scratches and minor abrasions can be removed or minimized by using a mild automobile polish.

Three such products that tend to polish and fill scratches are Johnson Paste Wax, Novus Plastic Polish #1 & #2, and Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish. It is suggested that a test be made on a sample of LEXAN sheet with the product selected and that the instructions provided by the polish manufacture be followed.

2. Follow proper procedure for cleaning windows described in this section.

3. Always install door safety struts before working in the engine area.

4. Apply grease to all lubrication points at required intervals.

SOME IMPORTANT DON’TS DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on LEXAN sheet products.

5. Do not apply load to a cold engine.

6. Close and secure all doors and access covers.

Never scrape LEXAN sheet products with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments.

7. Do not aow 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 a day all debris must be remove from the machine interior.

Benzene, gasoline, oil, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should never be used on LEXAN sheet products. DO NOT clean LEXAN sheet products in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL (A) Butyl Cellosolve (For removal of paints, marking pen inks, etc.) The use of masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered paints.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEXAN WINDOWS NOTE: On the Tigercat 822 and 830 all of the windows are made of LEXAN MARGARD except the side door window.

(B) 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. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.

1. Rinse with lukewarm water.

2. Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash the sheet with a mild solution of soap or detergent and lukewarm water. DO NOT scrub or use brushes or squeegees.

3. Rinse with clean lukewarm water.

4. Dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spotting.

To remove wet paint, glazing compound or grease, rub lightly (not in direct sunlight) with a good grade of VM&P naphtha, isopropyl alcohol or butyl cellosolve (2-Butoxy Ethanol), then wash and rinse thoroughly. DO NOT USE GASOLINE. Gasoline or oil will cause uncoated LEXAN to become opaque. MARGARD coated lexan will start to become opaque around the edges and creep in.

Lubrication and Maintenance

GENERAL CAUTION CHECK EMERGENCY EXITS MONTHLY~ 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.

Two alternate exit routes are provided on the left side and roof of the cab. 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 around hydraulic fittings before breaking connection. Plug or cap immediately.

Refer to the and SIDE DOOR AND ESCAPE HATCH EMERGENCY EXIT MAINTENANCE GUIDE in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL for checking procedure.

Clean up spills as soon as possible.

Always release pressure in hydraulic tank before breaking a connection.

Always use clean oil and containers.

FIRE PREVENTION

Drain dirty oil while still warm.

Maintaining your machine properly will greatly extend its life and reduce your operating costs.

Do not exceed recommended fluid levels.

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

Fire can result in a machine loss which can be financially devastating.

1. Pine needles and bark when allowed to accumulate, form a fuel source that when ignited is extremely difficult to extinguish. A thorough program of regular cleaning and washing will reduce the possibility of a fire starting. In the event a fire does start, the regular cleaning program will improve the chances of successfully extinguishing a fire.

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

Clean up oil spills on walking surfaces in engine enclosure immediately.

Before welding on machine, be sure to disconnect all electrical connections and follow all servicing safety precautions as outlined in the WELDING, PRIOR TO of SECTION 1 in THIS MANUAL.

2. Pay close attention to wiring and plumbing routings during maintenance, ensure that ALL wiring harnesses or hydraulic hoses are properly restrained and clamped to prevent damage from chaffing.

When welding, secure ground connection as close to working position as possible to prevent arcing across machined surfaces or through bearings.

3. Read the fire suppression system manual and have the system serviced regularly by qualified personnel.

Clean away all branches, bark and chips.

Clean up all traces of oil to avoid fires.

4. In case of fire and if time permits, lower the boom system to the ground and shut off the engine before discharging the fire suppression 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.

Also refer to the SAFETY section of this manual for additional information on how to prevent fires from starting on the machine.

Always install door safety struts when working on machine.

Always install support brace on each leveller cylinder when working on machine.

Clean fire suppression system sensors.

Lubrication and Maintenance

LUBRICATION OF SWING DRIVE GEARBOX UPPER GEARING LUBRICATION The swing gearbox upper gearing is lubricated by hydraulic oil which flows from the oil cooler bypass/return manifold into the 'U' port on the swing drive gearbox. A 1/16 inch orifice/connector installed in the 'U' port regulates the flow of oil through the gearbox at approximately 1 GPM. Oil is returned to tank via flushing port 'T'.

LOWER BEARING LUBRICATION The cavity in the lower portion of the gearbox where the two lower bearings are housed is completely filled with grease.

WARNING

•

• ground with the ROTATOR (a) The machine is parked on level head laying flat on the ground.

This machine may be equipped with an Efficient Reach (ER) boom system. Because of this, it may behave in an unexpected manner compared to a conventional boom system.

••

•

(b) The• hoist cylinder fully collapsed. (fig. 5) TIP OF STICK BOOM NOTE: (c) The telescopic boom fully retracted FULLY SUPPORTED FULLY RETRACT TELESCOPIC (if equipped) and the tip of the stick boomSTICK LH830-04 PARKING BOOM FIG.5 BOOM IF EQUIPPED supported at the rotator pin.

When performing maintenance procedures or setting up a machine equipped with an ER boom system, the following points must be noted:

(d) The leveller cylinder support braces are installed on each cylinder.

The main and stick boom cylinder circuits are connected hydraulically. Thus, disconnecting a hydraulic line to a boom cylinder may cause either boom to move unexpectedly. The boom 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 boom and head. Ensure that the boom is properly parked for service (as described on this page, see also fig. 5), tank pressure is relieved and engine is shut off before disconnecting any hydraulic lines.

Do NOT rely on the 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 that because of the hydraulic connection between the main boom and ER cylinders, the ER cylinder can overpower the stick cylinders under certain conditions, causing the stick boom to move unexpectedly. This most often occurs when setting the MAIN BOOM UP relief valve, causing the stick 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.

HYDRAULIC FILTER SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR LH830 HARVESTERS

Lubrication and Maintenance HYDRAULIC OIL RETURN FILTERS The majority of return oil entering the tank passes through 6 spin on hydraulic oil filters, one of the filters is water absorbing filter (colour blue) which is in place to assist with removing unwanted moisture from the hydraulic oil. The filters are connected in parallel to three separate return filter heads. The oil from the 3 return lines passes through return strainers located inside the hydraulic tank.

IMPORTANT

NEVER PRE-FILL ANY HYDRAULIC FILTERS ON LH830 HARVESTERS

HYDRAULIC TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

Tigercat generally 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 pre-fill 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.

1 - WATER ABSORBING RETURN FILTER (COLOUR BLUE)

HYDRAULIC OIL FILTERS

There is a bypass valve built into each of the filter heads which is preset at 25 psi. this bypass valve will open in the event the elements become restricted. However a 15 psi. pressure switch installed in the return manifold will turn on the FILTER BYPASS warning light in the cab before this happens. The pressures stated are for normal operating conditions and temperatures.

IMPORTANT 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.

FILTER SERVICE NOTE The filters should be checked/changed when the FILTER BYPASS warning light in the cab comes ON. For service and replacement intervals see SERVICE AND LUBRICATION CHART in THIS SECTION.

IMPORTANT Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints. Oil on skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water. Refer also to WORKING WITH OIL in SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL.

HYDRAULIC HIGH PRESSURE PILOT FILTER

Changing the filter:

There is a hydraulic high pressure pilot filter placed ahead of the pilot supply valve to filter the oil before it goes into the valve. On some machines this filter incorporates a clog indicator.

1. Park machine on level ground with felling head resting on the ground and stop engine.

CLOG INDICATOR SIGHT GLASS (IF EQUIPPED)

3. Release air from the hydraulic reservoir by opening the AIR VENT VALVE. 4.

822-D47

HIGH PRESSURE PILOT FILTER

The clog indicator consists of a clear plastic sight glass mounted on top of the filter housing. Under normal operating conditions (or when the hydraulic system is shut down) the indicator will show GREEN. When a pressure differential of 72 psi builds up inside the filter, the indicator will show RED, indicating a clogged filter.

This condition could happen during cold start-ups, but as the oil warms up the indicator will automatically re-set to GREEN. The indicator will not remain in the “clogged” (RED) position when the pilot system is not being used. “Clogged” condition will result in low pilot pressure. If a loss of controls or slow response occurs, filter element may need to be changed. Refer also to SECTION 5 of the SERVICE MANUAL for more information.

For service and replacement intervals see SERVICE AND LUBRICATION CHART in THIS SECTION.

A small pressure accumulator is used in the pilot supply circuit to ensure an adequate supply of pilot control oil under all operating conditions. The accumulator will normally bleed down the pilot supply oil to zero PSI in under 30 seconds after engine shut down, but install a 0 to 1000 PSI gauge on the pilot supply circuit test port to be sure no pressure is present before unscrewing the filter bowl.

5. Wipe clean the area around the filter and head.

6. Place rags below to catch any spilt oil.

7. Wearing face protection (in case of an oil spray), unscrew the filter bowl from the filter head. Remove the filter element and dispose of it properly. Clean out the filter bowl before reusing it.

8. Remove and discard the small o-ring from between the filter element and the filter head.

9. Check the seating area for o-rings and seals on the filter bowl and filter head. Wipe clean.

10. DO NOT pre-fill the filter*. Lubricate any new o-rings and seals with clean hydraulic and install the new filter 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.

DISCHARGE PORT AREA

218-21B

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

PRECLEANER

NOTE: This does not apply to oil filters.

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

3.20

Tigercat LH830 Harvester IMPROPER SERVICING Engine exposure to dust during servicing is the largest single reason for engine damage due to dust.

Lubrication and Maintenance extreme high dust conditions this valve should be checked and squeezed frequently to release dust accummulation.

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.

FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR

••

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.

FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR 822-D42

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

CLEAN OUT COVER

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 center.

8. Check connections and ducts for air tight fit.

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

AIR CLEANER UNLOADER VALVE 421-15A

This rubber valve on the tube of the air cleaner housing should be checked before every shift (8 hrs). 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
