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.

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).

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 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.

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).

•

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.

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.

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.

•

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.

•

••

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 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 position 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.

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.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued FELLING TREES Pieces of wood, debris from the ground and even teeth separating from the saw blade become potentially dangerous missiles when thrown from these machines.

Inspect saw teeth, tooth retaining bolts, saw disc and felling head assembly.

Ensure that all saw tooth retaining bolts are at correct torque value.

Replace all worn saw teeth or rotate worn teeth to align unused cutting tips.

Always replace saw tooth retaining bolts when replacing saw teeth.

Inspect saw disc for stress cracks and that saw disc does not wobble due to worn saw shaft bearings.

Never start the machine if the saw blade has missing teeth, teeth retaining bolts or a bent saw disc.

Shut down machine immediately if vibration occurs during cutting.

Check that the saw discharge area is clear and undamaged.

When moving from tree to tree with the saw blade turning, take care not to make contact with other vegetation or debris.

Do not over load felling head.

Safety equipment and operator's 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 saw blade before leaving the cutting area.

NOTE: The saw blade will continue to free wheel for several minutes after the saw switch has been turned OFF. To stop the blade from rotating, CAREFULLY lower the saw blade onto a stump. This should be done gently to prevent unnecessary loading of the saw blade, saw housing and bearings.

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 felling 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).

Work within your operating skills, do not attempt to cut down a tree that is too large for the felling head.

Operate so that the chip discharge area of the felling head is not directed at people, livestock, buildings or other machines.

When making the cut, properly position felling head in front of tree and have saw blade running at full rpm.

Always know and control the direction the tree will fall to prevent injury to co-workers or damage other vehicles.

When backing away from a cut, watch out for obstacles in your path.

Shut off engine. Only remove 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.

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 diagrams (FIG.5 & FIG.6). Accumulators will self drain within 2 minutes of stopping the engine on this MODEL. Also, for machines equipped with pressurized hydraulic tanks (830*0191 to 830*0343, 830*0611 to 830*0999) , relieve pressure in the hydraulic reservoir by opening hydraulic tank vent valve and waiting until the sound of escaping air stops.

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

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.

Always be aware of machine pinch points that could cause injury. Never place body parts within the range of motion of the working parts of the machine.

Never stand under an object supported with hydraulics. Always use safety stands or a locking device.

FIRE PREVENTION

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.

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. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Safety 5. Remove debris and blow out dust regularly from the air intake doors, engine radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, A/C condenser core and charge air cooler to prevent overheating of the engine and hydraulics.

Refer to CLEANING A/C CONDENSER AND COOLING ASSEMBLY in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL. 6. 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 dislodged by vibration this smoldering debris can fall into other areas of the machine and thereby spread a fire.

7. 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.

8. AFTER transporting (trucking) a machine from one job sight to the next, open all doors and access panels and blow off any debris that could have re-positioned itself onto the engine and exhaust parts due to wind turbulance caused by the journey.

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher FIRE PREVENTION continued

Safety WHAT ELSE TO DO BEFORE YOU EXPERIENCE A FIRE •

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

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

•

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

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

•

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

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

•

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

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

•

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.

Continued from page 17

16. 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.

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

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

*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.

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

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

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

EQUIPMENT FIRES ADVERSELY EFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO LOG, MAY INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS DRAMATICALLY OR PREVENT YOU FROM OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE AT ALL.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A MACHINE FIRE •

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.

•

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

•

Several types of heads involved Tigercat wheel type feller-bunchers and crawler feller-bunchers can be supplied with several optional makes and models of high speed disc saw tree felling heads. Because each has certain advantages and disadvantages they are chosen where they best do specific types of work.

Stored energy The saw blade stores energy from the hydraulic motor during the times between tree cuts so that it can supply up to 1000 hp during a 1 sec tree cut. However this rotational energy, if misapplied can result in wood materials or other objects being thrown strongly enough to cause damage and to hurt people.

Be aware of the hazards It is important that users of machines with disc saw felling heads are aware of certain safety precautions that need to be taken. In this section some previously unknown, unexpected safety hazards are illustrated and explained . These should be studied before use of the machinery and then reviewed again after use has begun.

Safe practices It is understood and expected that logging organizations and operators will develop and practice additional rules that suit (for example) particular conditions of terrain, trees, soil and job requirements. The information given here is intended to assist towards a quicker understanding of how and why things can happen when a high speed disc saw is in use; and hence to assist in development of safe operating practices.

It should not be assumed that all possible dangers have been discovered and described here.

Other instructions It is also understood and expected that all instructions contained in service and operator's manuals for use and maintenance of Tigercat disc saw heads and other disc saw heads installed on Tigercat machines will be followed.

THE DANGERS

There are at least these means by which a rotating disc saw can cause harm by throwing: • The normal throwing of chips from the cut.

• Soil particles are thrown from the ground.

• Loose chunks of wood encountered or produced are tossed by the exposed blade.

• Sticks and debris falling onto the blade or sliding across the blade are struck by the teeth and thrown.

• Metal pieces from the blade or from objects encountered are thrown.

• Wood pieces enter the saw housing and are expelled by the blade.

• In very peculiar cases the saw can throw long lengths of wood as spears.

TYPE OF HOUSING MAKES A DIFFERENCE Since the configuration of the saw housing can affect the safety of its use we need to identify some particular types of housing shapes and guarding being used.

Figure 3 shows a typical commonly used saw housing plan where there is a continuous skirt around the saw except at a mouth opening where the trees are cut and taken. The skirt extends below the saw enough to intercept tangential throw. There are snouts on both sides of the mouth so that if pushed against the side of a felled tree or log the saw teeth will not contact the wood.

THROW ANGLE

IF A SAW HEAD IS PUSHED AGAINST THE SIDE OF A FELLED TREE, SNOUTS PREVENT SAW TEETH FROM CONTACTING WOOD.

•

•

FIGURE 3: TYPICAL COMMONLY USED SAW HOUSING, CONTINUOUS SKIRT WITH OPENING WHERE TREES ARE CUT. SNOUTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH.

Figure 4 shows another commonly used plan. It has no blade guarding snouts so that the saw blade teeth do protrude ahead of the housing. This may be preferred over figures 3 and 5 for dexterity in tree getting.

THROW ANGLE

IF A SAW HEAD WITHOUT SNOUTS IS PUSHED AGAINST THE SIDE OF A FELLED TREE, SAW TEETH WILL CONTACT WOOD.

FIGURE 4: ANOTHER COMMONLY USED HOUSING PLAN WITH NO SNOUTS, BLADE TEETH PROTRUDE AHEAD OF THE HOUSING.

In figure 5 there is a much longer snout on the ingoing side of the mouth, i.e., where the teeth of the rotating blade are entering the housing. The broad side of a log, if nudged, will not contact the saw teeth and more thrown material will be intercepted by the extra length of snout.

FIGURE 6: ADDITIONAL OPENING IN THE HOUSING SKIRT.

In figure 6c a guard has been added to the chip escape port so that tangential travel of chips and other material is intercepted as soon as it leaves the housing.

Each figure shows a shaded area where normally tangentially thrown material can escape from the saw housing. Deflected and dropped chips escaping below the bottom edge of the housing skirt are not included. The areas and angles are not exact but do show that one head can be different from another.

It is important that the operator familiarize himself with the blade rotation direction, the effectiveness of any snout on the in-going side and which direction any chip escape ports allow material to fly.

Recognizing the Dangers While it may appear that these illustrated danger areas can be visually recognized on the job by observing how far chips fly during a cut, that is only true for chips and other light weight materials.

Metal parts and wooden spears can be thrown to surprisingly greater distances. Even distant personnel on the ground, in other vehicles, or in buildings are at risk if the throw is in their direction.

Direction of throw The direction of possible tangential throw for metal parts and stones is dependent on the housing configuration and might be expected to be the same as observed for the chips. However, these throws can occur at any time the saw is running, in whichever direction the angle of throw is pointed by boom geometry, not just when a cut is being made.

Throw distance The throw distance for metal pieces and stones, can be many times the distance shown by the pattern for chips. More testing and data collection is needed to pin down a “safe distance” but if someone or something is in a place that can be seen by the operator and in the throw direction of a high speed disc saw, then the operation is not safe regardless of the distance.

Safe operating areas These saw heads must not be used in areas where the logging operation does not have control over the presence and movement of people. In particular, clearing of vegetation in urban and populated areas should not be done with a Tigercat manufactured or supplied high speed disc saw. High speed disc saw heads are intended for high productivity wood harvesting in areas remote from normal habitation. The possible presence of people and property within throw range and the likelihood of encountering scrap metal, wire fencing, steel posts and concrete must be respected.

Assessing the potential dangers on the job site The extent of danger from high speed disc saws on the logging operation has to be assessed on the job site, depending on how much other work activity is in the area and whether the operator can do his job of cutting and bunching with good control of throw patterns. Danger is greater if the saw is equipped with detachable, or fragile, or brittle teeth, or if the site contains stones or abandoned metal.

7

Regular maintenance Poor saw maintenance increases these dangers. Some designs that might allow fasteners to wear thin or fatigue and suddenly break, need thorough timely replacement procedures. It is important that the warning signs of missing saw tooth parts or the sounds of striking rocks be heeded and the operation adjusted to avoid danger.

High angle wrist rotation ability When a felling machine is equipped with a high speed disc saw head with a high angle wrist rotation ability it should be determined that the limits of the boom, stick, tilt, wrist, upper leveling and any other freedoms, do not permit a direct throw at the operators cab during normal operation, see figure 7a. It is probably essential that the housing have a long snout on the throw side and that if a chip escape port is used it should be guarded.

With these high mechanical freedom arrangements there is a chance that an unforeseeable operator misadventure or equipment failure could result in an accidental direct or deflected throw at the operators cab, refer to figure 2 and 7b. The cab should be capable of resisting such accidental and ricochet throws. The velocity energy of metal or rock pieces leaving the blade is extremely high. The operators cab cannot be considered safe to routinely operate in the chip throw area, even if it has been especially constructed to prevent penetration by accidentally thrown objects.

Throwing long wood pieces Dangers from throws of long wood pieces are illustrated in figures 8 to 11. Tests and experience have shown that when a high speed rotating saw is applied to a loose piece of wood, the wood is either blown or pushed away, without a throw. If the wood is held firmly in all directions and the saw advanced into it at any feed speed, cutting will take place. If the wood is only held against escape from the saw radially, but not held tangentially, then the wood will be both partly cut and partly moved tangentially. In this last case tests have shown that if the piece of wood is backed-up by a solid slippery surface; and if the feed in is very fast; and if the piece of wood is long enough; then the tangential movement is a dangerous spear-like throw.

Figures 8 and 9 show two ways that this might happen in the woods if using the saw head of figure 4 (where the throw contact can be long). A slab, still partly attached to a well backed-up tree bole and wet with sap, makes an ideally bad throw situation which could unintentionally occur in woods work. A small log in a pile of other logs might also be propelled out with enough length of continued contact to reach near saw tip speed.

A SMALL LOG IN A PILE OF OTHER LOGS MIGHT ALSO BE PROPELLED OUT WITH ENOUGH LENGTH OF CONTINUED CONTACT WITH THE BLADE TO REACH NEAR SAW TIP SPEED.

Saw blade throw gap Saw blades have gaps between adjacent teeth and holders to permit installation and removal of the teeth and to provide spaces to accumulate chips in the cut, see figure 12. Fallen sticks and debris or sticks and debris sliding across the the saw blade can enter these gaps when the blade is rotating and be struck by the teeth and be tossed or thrown. Larger gaps and lower rotation speeds increase these dangers.

Saw housing entrance and exit space To avoid the ingestion of materials into the housing space above the disc (and later ejection) the ingoing entrance for the saw rim of teeth is kept as small as practical. It is important that this high wear area be maintained at its original size and shape. The outgoing opening is large enough to allow the housing to clean itself and will allow most things inside to be thrown out, see figure 13. Its throw direction and angle must be respected. A long snout on the other side reduces this danger.

This information is offered by Tigercat as part of interim action to make saw heads safer. It is based on what has recently been reported from the field and on tests conducted on proving grounds.

Tigercat is continuing to do design and testing of tree felling machinery towards achieving greater safety in the woods. Tigercat would be thankful for written reports describing any unsafe happenings, including near misses, in the use of felling heads and their carriers.

The following are some “SAW HEAD DON’TS” that apply particularly to throw prevention.

Do not point the throw of a disc saw head in a direction towards people, vehicles or buildings at any visible distance.

Do not operate in a way that throws chips in a direct-line at the machine cab.

Do not push hard with the saw against anything except a standing tree to be cut.

Do not mix new sharp teeth with old dull teeth on the same saw.

Do not change the blade rotation from its designed direction in the head.

Do not over speed the blade rpm.

Do not remove or shorten snouts provided by the head manufacturer or installer.

Do not neglect tooth fastening inspection, maintenance and replacement.

Lubrication and Maintenance

GENERAL 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.

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.

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.

Clean up spills as soon as possible.

Always release pressure in hydraulic tank before breaking a connection. For machines with pressurized tanks only (830*0191 to 830*0343, 830*0611 to 830*0999).

Always install door safety struts when working on machine.

Clean fire suppression system sensors.

Always use clean oil and containers.

Drain dirty oil while still warm.

Do not exceed recommended fluid levels.

CHECK EMERGENCY EXITS MONTHLY~

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

Two alternate exit routes are provided on the LH. side and roof of the cab. These are only to be used if the front door cannot be opened.

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

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

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

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

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

Clean away all branches, bark and chips.

Clean up all traces of oil to avoid fires.

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.

CAUTION AFTER transporting (trucking) a machine from one job sight to the next, open all doors and access panels and blow off any debris that could have re-positioned itself onto the engine and exhaust parts due to wind turbulence caused by the journey.

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 Continued on page 4

GENERAL Continued from page 3

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.

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.

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

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.

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

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FREQUENTLY:~

• ‡ Cylinders; boom, stick & tilt;

• Check engine cooling air intake screens for possible restriction.

Standard Boom; 8-fittings - purge ER Boom System; 10-fittings - purge

In broad leaf applications it may be necessary to reverse the cooling fan as frequently as every 10 mins.

‡ Lubricating cylinder pins and boom joints:1. Ensure machine is on level ground 2. Completely tilt felling head back

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

3. Fully extend stick boom cylinder 4. Force heel of felling head onto ground

• ER Boom system:

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

Periodically, the main 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 may not get completely changed during normal vertical motion, so it is important that this procedure be followed at least once every hour.

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

Lubrication and Maintenance STICK CYLINDERS FULLY EXTENDED

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

• TIP OF STICK BOOM FULLY SUPPORTED

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

830-07

PARKING BOOM. FIG.5

HOIST CYLINDER FULLY RETRACTED

•

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 & fig. 6) and engine is shut off before disconnecting any hydraulic lines.

Also, for machines equipped with pressurized hydraulic tanks (830*0191 to 830*0343, 830*0611 to 830*0999) , relieve pressure in the hydraulic reservoir by opening hydraulic tank vent valve and waiting until the sound of escaping air stops.

TIP OF STICK BOOM FULLY SUPPORTED 830-08

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

PARKING BOOM. FIG.6

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.

(a) The machine is parked on level ground with the head sitting flat on the ground. (b) The stick cylinders are fully extended (fig. 5) or the hoist cylinder fully collapsed (fig. 6). (c) The tip of the stick boom supported . (d) Do NOT rely on the 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.

HYDRAULIC OIL FILTERS HYDRAULIC OIL RETURN FILTERS 422-07

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.

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.

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.

PILOT FILTER AND FAN CHARGE PRESSURE FILTERS MEDIUM PRESSURE CHARGE PILOT FILTER There is a medium pressure charge pilot filter mounted to the base of the charge/pilot/filter manifold. The filter receives hydraulic oil from the charge pump. The charge pump is a gear pump driven from the power take-off of the clamp pump and supplies pilot oil via the filter and the charge/ pilot/filter manifold to the pilot system.

Mounted on top of the manifold is a clog indicator.

Under normal operating conditions (or when the hydraulic system is shut down) the indicator will show GREEN. When a pressure differential of 50 psi exists across 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 reset to GREEN. A “Clogged” condition will result in low pilot pressure. If a loss of controls or slow response occurs, filter element may need to be changed.

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.

PRECLEANER

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

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 oil filters.

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

FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR

••

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.

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

822-D42 FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR

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

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.

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.

CLEAN OUT COVER

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 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

AIR INTAKE CLEANOUT COVER

AIR INTAKE CLEANOUT COVER PLATE

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 extreme high dust conditions this valve should be checked and squeezed frequently to release dust accumulation.

The precleaner receives air via an air intake grill on the left side of the power door cover and through a passage way fabricated into the power door. With the door opened, a cover plate can be removed to allow access behind the engine air intake grill to remove any accumulation of debris.

In extremely cold weather it is possible to run the engine with this cover removed to allow the engine to draw warmer air from inside the engine enclosure.

IMPORTANT: If the cover is removed, it MUST BE REINSTALLED when operating in warmer outside temperatures otherwise the engine will run at a higher temperature and less Horsepower.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION

Hydraulic system Boom cylinders

The hydraulic system has six basic circuits;

All hoist, stick and tilt cylinders have cushions at both ends. All cylinder rods are ground, heat treated, chrome plated and polished.

1. Variable displacement main hydraulic circuit with load sensing for the boom, swing, wrist and levelling functions.

Swing system

2. Variable displacement circuit for the saw.

This system utilizes a bent-axis piston motor incorporating two crossover relief valves. The motor is connected to a double reduction planetary gearbox which provides variable swing speeds up to 7 rpm. A rotary manifold facilitates the hydraulic connection to the undercarriage of the vehicle and permits continuous 360 degree swing. The swing drive gearbox incorporates a wet, multi-disc brake installed between the motor and gearbox. The swing brake is controlled by a switch on the instrument panel. The brake is spring-apply, hydraulic-release and will automatically apply whenever the pilot oil supply is shut off. For detailed description of the SWING system, refer to SECTION 15 of THIS MANUAL.

3. Variable displacement circuit for the clamp functions.

4. Pilot circuit to supply oil for the pilot system and charge pressure oil for the track drive hydrostatic system.

5. Closed loop circuit with variable displacement pumps and motors for the track drive functions.

6. Closed loop circuit with variable displacement pump and fixed displacement motor for the fan drive.

1. THE MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM This a closed centre circuit utilizing a variable displacement axial-piston pump with load sensing and horsepower limiting control. The load sensing system ensures that the pump will deliver only the amount of oil that is required by an individual boom or swing function or combination of functions.

2. SAW CIRCUIT This open centre circuit uses a variabledisplacement pressure compensated piston pump which delivers oil to the variable displacement bent-axis piston motor on the saw via the saw control valve. The saw control valve is pilot operated and controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the pump to the motor. A relief valve is installed in the inlet section of the main saw control valve.

This feature improves fuel economy and reduces heat generation because power is not wasted on excess pump flow that is not being used. Refer to LOAD SENSING in THIS SECTION.

A solenoid operated pilot valve controls the flow of pilot oil to the end of the spool in the main control valve.

The horsepower limiting control ensures that the engine will not lug down below the full load rpm by reducing the output from the main hydraulic pump. For detailed description of ENGINE ANTI-STALL, refer to SECTION 9 of THIS MANUAL. The main control valves are pressure and flow compensated to provide independent and load independent operation for all functions. The control valves are mounted on a common supply/return base manifold. Two 'P' (pressure) ports on the back of the manifold receive supply oil from the main pump. The return oil from the main control valves exits the base manifold at two 'T' ports and 75 psi internal check valves.

From there the oil passes through the oil cooler, through a return manifold which includes a bypass valve for the oil cooler and on to the return filters and then to the hydraulic tank. A 25 psi bypass valve is incorporated into each pair of return filter heads.

4.2

The saw switch on the control panel in the cab is used to turn saw ON or OFF. For detailed description of the SAW DRIVE, refer to SECTION 17 of THIS MANUAL.

Hydraulic system

3. CLAMPS AND ACCUMULATING ARMS CIRCUIT

6. COOLING FAN DRIVE SYSTEM The fan drive system is a closed loop system using a variable displacement pump driven off the PTO of the RH. track drive pump. The fan pump incorporates an electronic (EDC) controller and depending on the position of the cooling fan switch in the cab, the controller will place the pump in either the FORWARD or REVERSE (CLEAN) mode.

The fan pump also incorporates a charge pump to keep the closed loop circuit primed.

This open centre circuit receives oil from a variable-displacement pressure compensated piston pump driven off the PTO of the main pump. Two pilot operated spool sections on the clamps valve direct oil to the clamps and accumulating arms cylinders. For a full description of the CLAMPS circuit, refer to SECTION 18 of THIS MANUAL. 4. PILOT CIRCUIT

The fan motor is a fixed displacement piston motor. The fan is coupled directly to the motor output shaft. For a full description of the COOLING FAN circuit, refer to SECTION 10 of THIS MANUAL.

The pilot circuit receives oil from charge pump driven off the PTO of the clamp pump.

A charge/pilot/filter manifold with an attached filter, divides the oil to serve the pilot system and also to supply charge pressure oil to both track drive circuits. The manifold contains; (1) the pilot shut-off valve, (2) a pilot dump valve (operates during engine cranking at start up), (3) a filter bypass valve. The pilot relief valve (4) works in conjunction with a spring-biased blocking valve (5) (logic valve) to control the pilot pressure (450 psi) and the tank return function for this circuit. For a full description of this manifold and the pilot circuit, refer to in SECTION 5 of THIS MANUAL. 5. TRACK DRIVE SYSTEM The track drive system is a closed loop system with independent variable displacement piston pumps and high-torque, axial-piston hydraulic motors. The motors are mounted to a three stage planetary drive gearbox and each is completely housed within the width of the track shoes. The gearboxes include wet, multiple-disc, springapply, hydraulic-release brakes which automatically release when driving and apply when stationary. Independent control of each track permits better multi-function capabilty.

For a detailed description of the TRACK DRIVE, refer to SECTION 11 of THIS MANUAL.

Also refer to SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL and SECTION 3 for additional information.

•• AIR VENT FILTER

Located at the rear left corner of the machine beside the fuel tank, the hydraulic tank has a capacity of 35 gal. U.S. (134 L) with a total machine dry fill capacity of 66 gal. U.S. (250L).

••

All return oil entering the tank is screened prior to entering the tank by passing through reusable suction strainers attached to the ends of the return tubes at the bottom of the tank. The case drain return oil from the pumps is also screened by a reusable strainer attached to the inside of the round access cover.

VENT/BREATHER, HYDRAULIC TANK PRESSURIZED TANKS ONLY (830*0191 TO 830*0343, 830*0611 TO 830*0999) The air space in the top of the hydraulic tank is vented to atmosphere via a check valve and spinon filter. The check valve will open or "crack" when the pressure in the hydraulic tank reaches 10 psi. The pressure build-up in the tank can be due to thermal expansion as the hydraulic oil heats up.

PILOT FILTER AND FAN CHARGE PRESSURE FILTERS MEDIUM PRESSURE PILOT FILTER There is a medium pressure pilot filter mounted to the base of the charge/pilot/filter manifold. The filter receives hydraulic oil from the charge pump.

The charge pump is a gear pump driven from the power take-off of the main pump and supplies pilot oil via the filter and the charge/pilot/filter manifold to the pilot system.

Mounted on top of the manifold is a clog indicator.

Under normal operating conditions (or when the hydraulic system is shut down) the indicator will show GREEN. When a pressure differential of 50 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 move into the GREEN. A “Clogged” condition will result in low pilot pressure. If a loss of controls or slow response occurs, filter element may need to be changed.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all connection points and the suction tube are thoroughly cleaned and dried before use. Small amounts of water can cause serious damage to the hydraulic components. The water absorbing element will remove small amounts of water but will not protect the system from careless use. Dust left on the suction tube will significantly reduce the life of the filters.

Re-install the cap and the protective dust boot to the quick disconnect fittings after filling. Failure to keep these connections clean will significantly reduce the life of the filter elements.

MAIN PUMP

All hydraulic functions are powered by seven pumps driven off the pump drive gearbox. Drive to the gearbox is from the engine via a flexible coupling.

The main pump is an axial-piston, variabledisplacement pump with load sensing, pressure cut-off and horsepower limiting controls.

When all control valves are in the neutral position the pump is destroked and the output is just sufficient to maintain a pressure of 500 psi in the pump output line. The swashplate control piston is in a condition where the spring force, swashplate force and the control pressure forces are balanced.

The main pump, mounted on pad 'C' of the pump drive gearbox is a piston pump with load sensing and horsepower limiting controls and is used to power the swing drive, boom, wrist and levelling functions. Driven off the PTO of the main pump is the clamp pump, which powers the clamps functions for the felling head. Driven off the PTO of the clamp pump is the charge pump, which provides pilot pressure to the pilot system and charge pressure to both track drive motors.

MARGIN PRESSURE When a function control lever is moved, i.e. joystick, to activate a boom or swing function, Load Sense (LS) pressure increases to the point where it is equal to the work port pressure and it shifts the LS control valve spool in the main pump controller.

Mounted on pads 'A' and 'B' of the pump drive gearbox are the left and right track drive pumps.

These pumps are piston pumps and provide independent drive power to the track assemblies.

Driven of the PTO of the LEFT track drive pump is the pressure compensated piston saw pump and driven of the PTO of the RIGHT track drive pump is the variable displacement fan pump.

The pump then adjusts its output volume until the pump output pressure exceeds the LS pressure by a small amount. This difference is known as margin pressure (differential pressure or Delta P).

Refer to SET MARGIN PRESSURE in THIS SECTION. 4.8

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher PILOT PRESSURE PORT 'P' CONNECTION

Hydraulic system At this point the LS control valve spool shifts back to its previous condition and the swashplate control piston will be balanced with the pump output remaining constant until the pressure at the LS port changes.

This is a dynamic condition with the swashplate angle changing constantly in response to the load fluctuations. The LS pressure is always equal to the highest work port pressure.

BASIC PRINCIPLES Figs. 1 & 2 Early hydraulic systems used a fixed displacement pump, with valves to control or adjust flow rates or speeds. This throttling or restricting pump flow to achieve control over the functions causes excess oil to flow over the relief valve. This results in wasting power and at the same time creates heat. SEE FIGS. 1 & 2.

Figs. 3 & 4 In an attempt to recover some of the wasted energy, variable volume pumps evolved. These pumps are power regulated or horsepower controlled and since they reduce the pumps output to maintain a constant system hp, oil flow over the relief valve is less, therefore reducing the wasted power losses and heat generation. SEE FIGS. 3 & 4.

=CO NS

The power wasted in the horsepower control system is still considerable and still requires constant "throttling" by the operator if he wants the speeds to remain as selected.

TAN T

This system combines the energy saving benefits of flow on demand with load compensation at each work port. The compensator eliminates the need for operator flow adjustments (throttling).

LOAD SENSING BASIC DESCRIPTION OPEN CENTRE VS. CLOSE CENTRE OPEN CENTRE SYSTEM:

853SM21

853SM20

With the control valve in neutral all of the oil from the pump “bypasses” through the open center passage directly to tank. There is no backpressure created by the control valve to force oil into the workport (the workport is actually blocked off when the spool is in neutral, and unblocked when the spool begins to move).

If the oil flowing to the motor or cylinder meets variable loads, this will upset the balance of oil going to the tank and the load. This causes the speed of the function to change with load changes.

853SM21 853SM20

When the control valve lever is moved to actuate a cylinder or motor, the open center passage is blocked off in proportion to the amount the lever is moved. This creates back pressure forcing oil into the valve workport to move the load.

This type of system exhibits the following characteristics; 1. If the load against the cylinder or motor changes, the speed of the function will change.

2. If the load increases on a boom cylinder, the boom will slow or stop. Moving the lever further will increase the pressure against the load, and when high enough, the load will begin to move again.

853SM20

3. The maximum speed of the function is determined by the maximum flow of the pump.

When the control valve lever is fully shifted to the maximum flow position the open center passage is completely blocked, and all of the pump flow is forced against the load.

4.11

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher

Hydraulic system

CLOSED CENTRE SYSTEM: Load sensing systems use variable flow pumps and only flow oil when required. Unlike the open centre system, the control valve does not have an open centre passage. When in neutral, no oil flows through the control valve to tank and the pump output flow is zero. The pump’s output flow is controlled by a “stroking piston” which is connected to the pump output, and to the valve’s workport or “load”. This sense line to the actual working load defines the system as load sensing.

The key component in the system below is the spring in the stroking piston. The pump’s output pressure must be 250 p.s.i. higher than the load pressure to compress the spring and reduce the flow of the pump. This 250 p.s.i. is the differential or margin pressure.

point. The stroking piston will change the pump’s flow until pump pressure is 250 p.s.i. higher than load pressure.

In the figures below, note that even though the load pressure may change, (as illustrated by the extra restriction) the flow remains constant. This is because the difference in pressure, or differential pressure, between the pump and load pressures can be maintained by the stroking piston regardless of load. It is important to remember the pump is really responding to the pressure differential resulting from flow through the valve, not the actual load pressure level.

853SM22

853SM22

In the figure above the valve is closed blocking the pump from the load. With the load at zero the pump will maintain 500 p.s.i. of standby pressure and pump flow is zero.

853SM22

The following are key differences from open centre systems; 1. The load sensing valve’s maximum flow is not equal to the pumps maximum flow as with the open centre system. The valves maximum flow is determined by the maximum size of opening or “orifice” it provides.

853SM22

When the control valve lever is moved to actuate a cylinder or motor, the control valve opens the pump to the load. In this case the load is zero and the pump output pressure falls as the oil escapes through the valve. The 250 p.s.i. that was holding the spring in the compressed state is reduced and the spring moves the pump to increase flow. Flow will increase to a level that requires 500 p.s.i. to force the oil through the valve opening. At this point the load pressure combined with the spring force will be high enough to oppose the pump output pressure, and the stroking piston will stop moving.

Changing the control valve lever changes the size of the opening in the valve and upsets the balance of the stroking piston. The stroking piston then adjusts the flow of the pump to find a new balance

2. The speed of the load does not change as the load changes. If the load increases on a boom cylinder the pump pressure will increase automatically to maintain the load’s original speed. If the load stops, it is because the load is too heavy for the boom to lift.

Moving the lever further will not increase the lifting force.

3. A load sensing system provides the speed the operator selects with the lever, and automatically adjusts the pressure to match the load. The open centre system requires the operator to adjust the pressure to match the load and the speed is determined by the load.

4.12

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher

Hydraulic system

OPERATING TIPS 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 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 this section.

Another feature of this system is that the maximum flow of each function, in each direction, can be tuned to your requirements. This is easily done by changing the flow adjusting screws on each control valve. Take the time to set up your machine, as this greatly reduces fatigue.

Refer to SET FLOW (FUNCTION SPEED) RATE in appropriate BOOM or SWING sections of THIS MANUAL. When operating the swing function move the lever slowly. Operating the swing harshly or quickly reversing direction wastes power and generates excessive heat, as oil is dumped over the crossline reliefs.

LOAD SENSING SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 4.14

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher MAIN HYDRAULIC (LOAD SENSING) CIRCUIT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The main hydraulic circuit includes the components for boom, stick, tilt, swing, wrist and levelling operations.

An axial piston, swashplate controlled pump supplies oil for the main hydraulic system. A load sensing signal is sent back from the Linde control valve manifold (LS port) to the main pump regulator (LS port) to control the pump output pressure.

Oil flow for each function is supplied by its own control valve section on the manifold. When the control valves are in neutral, there is no flow through the valves, therefore the system is closed-centre. When all control valves are in neutral, the pump will only supply enough oil to make-up for leakage in the system and the pressure remains at a low level (approx. 500 psi).

The control valve sections trap oil in their circuits when the spools are in neutral.

Oil returning to the tank from the control valve sections must open back pressure check valves in the control valve manifold before flowing to the reservoir via the oil cooler. This creates a small positive pressure in the manifold to prevent cavitation in the cylinders. All oil returning to the reservoir is filtered.

Hydraulic system FLOW ON DEMAND AND LOAD COMPENSATION The combination of control valves and pump used in this system provides flow on demand and load compensation. Flow on demand means that only the required quantity of oil will be delivered to a function by the pump. This will save energy and reduce heat generation in the hydraulic system.

Load compensation means that all functions will continue to receive oil regardless of their pressure and without further movement of the control levers.

Without this system, an operator moving control levers halfway on the boom up and stick out controls would find that the lowest pressure function would move and the other would not move.

To make both functions move the operator would have to move the high load lever much more than the low load lever. In other words, the operator would have to restrict oil flow to one function while opening up the valve fully to the other. This is what the load compensation system does automatically as will be explained further below.

With the load compensation on this unit the operator does not need to continually adjust the control lever to move two or more functions because of pressure differences.

Valves inside of the main control valve spools will automatically adjust flow according to the pilot pressure applied to the spool to move functions independent of load pressure.

MAIN CONTROL VALVE

MAIN CONTROL VALVE DESCRIPTION

CONTROL VALVE SECTIONS

The main control valve consists of seven individual valve sections, a high pressure limiting relief valve and a non adjustable safety relief.

Each section, including the relief valve is fastened to the control valve manifold which contains five common passages for all valves. (Note that for X830 machines, the levelling sections are equipped with blank plates.)

The spools are pilot actuated and returned to neutral by centering springs. An air bleed plug is provided on the top pilot cap. If a hesitation is noticed when actuating a function, air should be bled from the pilot caps. Spool travel stop screws are fitted in the pilot end caps and are used to limit the spool travel so that maximum speed can be adjusted for each individual function. The screws can also be turned in to lower the boom or stick when the engine or pump will not operate.

The five passages are (refer to fig. 853sm24): 1. Centre passage for pump discharge.

2. Two return passages (connected internally).

3. Two for Load Sense (connected internally).

The swing spool has return pilot checks in the end caps which allow pilot oil to enter quickly, but restrict the flow out, thus dampening the movement of the control spool for smoother control of the function.

SWING DRIVE MOTOR SPOOL SECTIONS The swing valve section has make-up valves for anti-cavitation. See FIG. 90919.

(A) Each work port (A & B) has a compensator valve and shuttle valve. Each valve section also has two return passages (T) and two load sensing passages (LS). Each valve section has only one supply passage (P).

With the control valve spool held in neutral by the centering springs in both pilot caps, the pump discharge is blocked. Therefore, the control valves are closed centre. Pump discharge, work port, return, and load sensing passages are all blocked by the spool. Oil in the work ports is trapped.

With all control valve spools in neutral, pump discharge or "standby" oil pressure is approximately 400-600 psi.

(B) Whenever a single function is operated, pilot oil flows to a control valve end cap. Pilot oil will start to move the spool against the centering spring on the opposite end of the spool. The load sensing port (LS) is the first port to open. When the LS port is opened, the shuttle cavity is at LS pressure. Since this is the first function being operated, there is no LS pressure in the manifold and the shuttle does not move.

The left compensator valve stays to the right as in the neutral condition and the shuttle valve moves to the left directing work port pressure to the area behind the compensator valve to hold it shut until it can be opened by pressure in the ‘P’ port. In this mode, the compensator valve is functioning as a load check valve would in a conventional valve.

(D) The next port to open is the angled vent port (1) on the right side of the control spool which connects to the tank port, ‘T’. This connects all passages in the compensator spool to return pressure. There is no movement at this time but as soon as the work port ‘B’ opens (2) and oil flows, the returning oil will push the compensator valve to the right and connect ‘B’ to ‘T’.

The pressure port in the control spool is the last port to open (3). When it opens, pump discharge pressure flows through the passage in the compensator spool and through the shuttle cavity to the load sense passage (4).

The load sensing pressure increases causing the pump to increase its displacement and further increase the pressure. The compensator valve keeps the work port passage closed until the pump discharge pressure is higher than the work port pressure (load check feature).

Once the pump discharge pressure is higher, the shuttle valve moves to the right (5) and connects load sensing pressure to the cavity behind the compensator valve. The compensator valve moves to the left (6) allowing oil to flow to the work port. With the compensator valve open, the cavity to the right of the compensator valve assumes approximate work port pressure and this pressure flows through the passage to the shuttle cavity allowing work port pressure to control load sensing pressure. As the control spool moves further, in response to pilot pressure, the compensator valve and shuttle valve positions remain the same.

(E) In this figure, pump discharge pressure is slightly higher than work port pressure because the compensator valve (1) is open. When using just one function both the compensator valve and the shuttle valve are moved to the end of their bores.

The load sensing pressure is always the same as the highest work port pressure and as a result is always lower than pump discharge pressure. There are two factors that establish this pressure difference between pump discharge and work port pressure, the load sensing valve and the orifice effect of the passages in the control valve between the pump discharge port and the work port. There are three openings the pump discharge oil must flow through to get to the work port. Each time the oil flows through a passage there is a pressure drop, that is, there is an orifice at each passage. The smaller the opening the smaller the oil flow due to the constant load sensing pressure. There is a passage from the work port to the load sensing passage and this is the pressure sensed at the pump regulator; since the flow is very small there is virtually no pressure drop from the work port to the LS port on the pump.

Load sensing pressure is the same at both ends of all the control spools because the two passages in the control valve manifold are joined together in the manifold.

LOAD SENSING ~ TWO OR MORE FUNCTIONS IN USE Load compensation comes into effect whenever two or more functions are actuated at the same time.

The following is an explanation of the function of the valve components whenever a spool with a lower working pressure is activated when a higher working pressure spool is fully shifted.

The pressure port ‘P’ is next to open (3) and supply pressure passes into the cavity to the right of the compensator valve causing it to shift to the left (4) since the supply pressure is somewhat greater than LS pressure. As it shifts to the left (4) oil can travel into work port ‘A’ and in doing so it causes pressure in the cavity to drop which results in LS pressure pushing the compensator valve back to the right (5). The compensator finds a position where the pressures are balanced and some oil flows into work port ‘A’.

As the loads vary in the work ports, the valve components continue to modulate and compensate for the load variations and maintain movement of the selected functions.

This valve system performs the functions automatically that are performed by an operator using a conventional system as explained in the third paragraph above.

If the second valve being operated had a higher work port pressure than the one already selected, the operation would be the same up to the point where the work port was opened. At this point the LS would change to the new higher work port pressure and the new valve would act in the same way as the first valve selected and described above. The first valve selected would then have the internal spool components take the same positions as the lower work port pressure valve described above.

NOTE: Constant loosening and tightening of the locknut (sealnut) on the adjusting screws of these relief valves will eventually cause the seal in the nut to break down and leak.

Because of this it is best to keep the adjusting procedure brief.

1. Use a differential pressure gauge* (preferably a differential gauge with ten psi increments).

*If a differential pressure gauge is not available, one single 0-5000 psi gauge may be used; First placing it on the L.S. test port and noting the reading, Then on 'P' test port and noting the reading. 'P' should be 300 psi. greater than 'L.S.'.

1. With hydraulic oil at operating temperature, Connect a 0 - 5000 psi gauge to 'P' gauge test port on back of main control valve manifold.

2. With hydraulic oil at operating temperature, Connect one side of the differential pressure gauge to the L.S. gauge port located on the back of the main control valve manifold and the other side of the gauge to the pressure 'P' gauge test port.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher PILOT SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION The pilot circuit receives oil from the charge pump driven off the PTO of the clamp pump. A charge/ pilot/filter manifold with an attached filter, divides the oil to serve the pilot system and also to supply charge pressure oil to both track drive motors and oil to the drive motor brakes and the engine antistall valve.

Pilot system be encountered by the filter element, which could be caused by cold weather starting or a clogged filter element. A "Clogged" condition will result in low pilot pressure. If a loss of controls or slow response occurs, filter element may need to be changed.

DRIVE MOTOR BRAKE RELEASE VALVE

A return port 'RTN' on the charge/pilot/filter manifold, allows oil to flow at 70 psi from the manifold occasionally vented by the spring biased logic valve cartridge (70 psi) to the 'T3' port on the main Linde valve via a check valve, this provides a back pressure in the tank line passages of the main Linde valve and reduces the possibility of cavitation in the components of the load sensing system.

•

The pilot shut off solenoid valve cartridge on the manifold controls the supply of pilot oil (450 psi) to the pilot manifold, the saw pilot valve and the drive motor brake release valve. Pilot oil cannot be supplied to these functions until the pilot system has been activated by first closing and latching the front door and then pressing the pilot reset switch on the control panel, this will energize the pilot shut-off solenoid, shift the valve cartridge spool and allow pilot oil to flow. See PILOT RESET in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

830-65

DRIVE MOTOR BRAKE RELEASE VALVE The pressure of the filtered oil is then controlled by a spring biased logic valve cartridge (70 psi) combined with a relief valve cartridge (380 psi) to provide a total pilot pressure of 450 psi.

Pilot oil (450 psi) is supplied to the two track drive pumps via ports 'P1 and 'P2' on the manifold to charge the left and right closed loop hydrostatic drive systems, this is known as charge pressure.

With this pilot-shut off valve energized pilot oil (450 psi) via the 'PS' port then enters the pilot manifold where it is distributed to the various pilot actuated functions of the machine. Solenoid operated pilot valves within the pilot manifold, control the flow of pilot oil to various functions.

An accumulator is plumbed into the 'P2' line to ensure that the pressure in the pilot system is always maintained and never falls off during high demands.

A remote mounted saw pilot valve, the levelling manifold, the two joysticks and the two foot control pedals receive pilot oil via the 'P2' port on the pilot manifold.

The engine anti stall system is also supplied with pilot oil via port 'G' on the manifold to port 'P' on the engine anti stall valve.

A pilot dump solenoid valve cartridge on the manifold is activated when the key switch is turned to the START position to crank the engine, during this procedure the pilot dump valve will open and drain the pilot system to tank, this will remove any unnecessary load placed on the engine by the charge pump during starting.

In an emergency, pressing the pilot shut-off switch (Red button) located in the cab will de-energize the pilot shut-off valve cartridge and render all pilot functions discussed above inoperative.

PILOT SYSTEM ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

SET PILOT PRESSURE

Refer to circuit diagram;

1. With hydraulic oil at operating temperature, connect a 0-1000 psi. gauge to the gauge test fitting tee'd onto the charge/pilot/filter manifold.

When the key switch is turned to the START position to crank the engine, current flows through wire 23 to energize the start relay coil and close the contacts. Current then flows from the 'IGN' terminal on the key switch through wire 6, across the function lockout relay contacts, through wire 30, across the start relay contacts, through wire 16/16B to energize the coil on the pilot dump solenoid. With the pilot dump valve energized, any residual pilot pressure in the system is drained to tank via the 'DR' port on the charge/ pilot/filter manifold. Releasing the key switch from the START position de-energizes the pilot dump valve and blocks the pilot system connection to the 'DR' port.

2. Turn anti-stall switch OFF. 3. Loosen locknut and turn adjusting screw all the way OUT on pilot relief valve, tighten locknut on adjusting screw.

RELIEF VALVE

••

When this switch is pressed, the coil on the function lockout relay is energized closing the circuit between RED wire 6A and TAN 105B to the door pilot switch. When this door switch is closed (front door closed and latched) current flows through wires TAN 107, GRN 11F/11 to energize the coil on both the brake release valve and also the pilot shut off valve to shift the valve spool and supply oil to the pilot manifold and the drive motor brake release valve. The Green pilot on warning light will also be turned ON. At the same time wire GRN 11A connects back to the function lockout relay coil and latches the function lockout relay in the energized position after the pilot reset switch has been released.

Whenever the front door is opened the door limit switch opens interrupting the voltage to the function lockout relay coil, this opens the contacts of the function lock out relay and de-energizes the brake release valve and the pilot shut off valve to apply the drive brakes and shut down the pilot system. This prevents pilot oil from reaching the controls.

ADJUSTING SCREW

•

With the engine running, the pilot shut off solenoid is not energized until the front door is closed and latched and the pilot reset switch is momentarily pressed.

4. Start engine and set throttle in IDLE position.

5. Have an assistant in the cab close the front door and press the pilot reset switch.

6. Loosen locknut on pilot relief valve and turn adjusting screw IN until pressure gauge reads 450 psi.

7. Tighten lock nut on pilot relief valve adjusting screw taking care not to turn the adjusting screw at the same time.

8. Verify pilot pressure is set at 450 psi.

8. Stop engine, remove pressure gauge and wipe away any spills.

A second pilot shut off switch is in the same circuit as the front door switch. If an emergency situation should arise, pressing the pilot shut-off switch (Red button) located in the cab will have the same effect as opening the front door.

1

ADDR-L, pos. 14

If a system has an XP2 module with address 0, the system will denote this one as XP2-A0, The letter “A” refers to CAN-bus A. In order to assign any XP2 module a unique CANaddress, an Id-Tag will have to be connected to the positions ADDR-H and ADDR-L.

ADDR-H, pos. 1

Id-Tag

CONNECTING ID-TAG (XT2 OR XP2)

TERMINATING To eliminate interference in communication, through the CAN-bus, the CAN-bus must be terminated. Because the master module always is located at the beginning of the bus, the master is provided with an internal termination. If an IQANXP2 is located at the end of the CAN-bus then use an Id-tag having a combined address and terminating function. This is denoted with a “T” for terminating, after the appropriate address such as; 0T, 1T, 2T...

ASSEMBLING ID-TAG (XT2 OR XP2)

Selecting appropriate Id-Tag •

Check the address number of the module.

•

If the module is located at the end of the CANbus then select the appropriate Id-Tag denoted with a “T”.

MODULE MDM XT2-A0

ID-TAG NO TAG 0T

RESISTANCE 432 Ω

ASSEMBLING OF THE ID-TAG The Id-Tag is placed in the connector in order to address/ terminate the module. The Id-Tag is mounted under the connector casing. Bend the IdTag’s cables towards the opposite side, where the other cables enter the connector.

OUTPUTS

The definition ‘channels’ is a collective name for the inputs and outputs found on the different IQAN modules. There are also channels internally in the system, to handle for example, MDM messages and mathematical calculations. The channels are used to collect and/or send data. Input and output channels are described below.

CURRENT OUT (COUT)

INPUTS

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Out is a way of producing an analog signal level with a digital output that turns on and off many times a second.

By varying the ratio between on and off time (duty cycle) an output proportional to the system voltage can be obtained. PWMOUT maintains a constant output voltage, and the output current is governed by the resistance in the circuit.

VOLTAGE IN (VIN) The input signal at these inputs comes primarily from analog sensors, levers, and switches. These devices use a power/signal/ground system to provide an input value (VIN) between the high (+5V) and low (-5V) signals generated in the modules.

DIGITAL IN (DIN) An input that is typically on or off, such as a switch.

This input is often used to determine if an event has occurred, such as pushing a button or engaging a relay.

The COUT channel maintains a constant output current to control proportional solenoids. The voltage is regulated to maintain the constant current based on the resistance of the circuit.

PWM OUT (PWMOUT)

DIGITAL OUT (DOUT) A PWMOUT with 100% duty cycle is a Digital Out (DOUT). The outputs have a value of low or high.

These are mostly used to activate lamps, on/off valves or to pull relays.

FREQUENCY IN (FIN) Typical functions are speed measure or revolution measure. This input can count the number of signals per second to determine the speed of a rotating or reciprocating body.

6.30

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher Electrical, gauges, alarms and computers CURRENT OUT - TROUBLESHOOTING FOR OPEN CIRCUITS The COUT channel maintains a constant output current to control proportional solenoids. The voltage is regulated to maintain the constant current based on the resistance of the circuit.

It is important to note that currrent out readings displayed on the MDM display screen are measured at the current out (COUT) side of the connection to the IQAN module (rather than the current return (CRET) side).

When troubleshooting for problems with a function controlled by a CURRENT OUT signal the correct reading may appear on the screen even if there is no CURRENT RETURN signal (an open circuit).

In the case of an open circuit it will be necessary to use a diagnostic breakout harness to identify an open circuit locate it. Refer to ELECTRICAL KIT SERVICE AND DIAGNOSTICS in this section for more information about diagnostic breakout harnesses.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher MAIN SYSTEM ERRORS

MDM MODULE BLANK SCREEN The MDM module is the central unit in the IQAN control system, which works as both a master and a display unit. Faults or failure in this unit will affect all other IQAN components.

Likely causes are: • Power - Fuse (MDM or CLOCK) • Ground • LCD display settings too light to read • Faulty MDM module

Electrical, gauges, alarms and computers MODULE IS OFFLINE

The MODULE IS OFFLINE warning message indicates a loss of communication with or power to an IQAN module. The offline module is identified on the display screen.

When a module goes offline all machine functions controlled by that module cease and all alarms and warnings associated with that module are triggered. If the problem is with the CAN wires all modules beyond the problem module will also be affected.

NOTE: It is possible for an operator or service technician to disable this warning message. If the MODULE IS OFFLINE warning function is disabled for a module the first indication of a loss of communication or power to a module will be the loss of all machine functions controlled by the module and the triggering of all alarms and warnings associated with that module. This may cause problems in identifying the source of a control problem, as it will not be immediately obvious that a loss of communication or power to the module is the source of the problem.

To greatly reduce the time required to diagnose a MODULE IS OFFLINE warning, it is recommended that all available modules ALWAYS be set to ENABLED as shown. This screen is accessed through the INFORMATION MENU, which should normally be accessed by Tigercat service technicians only. Refer to INFORMATION CENTER~SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS MENUS~DIAGNOSTICS MENU OPERATION inTHIS SECTION.

Engine start and stop

ENGINE START CIRCUIT For detailed engine information, refer to the Cummins engine manufacturer’s manual.

START RELAY

The engine normally installed on the Tigercat LX830/X830 machine is a Cummins QSL9 rated at 280 hp.

•

For engine starting and stopping procedures refer to STARTING ENGINE and STOPPING ENGINE in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL. For correct engine speeds, refer to THROTTLE CONTROL in SECTION 2 of the OPERATOR’S MANUAL. To start engine; Turn battery disconnect switch to the ON position. Turn ignition key to the RUN position until the WAIT TO START warning lamp extinguishes, then to the START position and release it to the RUN position again after the engine starts.

RELAY PANEL When the key switch is turned to the START (ST) position, the BATTERY (BAT) contact is connected to the START (ST) and RUN contacts of the key switch. Current then flows from the (ST) contact through RED wire (23A), a 5 amp fuse, RED wire (23B) and TAN wire (29) to energize the coil of the start relay.

420-04

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION With the battery disconnect switch ON, current is supplied to both the start solenoid relay contact and the start solenoid contact. Current is also supplied to the BAT contact of the key switch (ignition switch), the power door circuit, the engine computer and some of the cab circuits.

Current also flows through TAN wire (29) to the IQAN computer. The IQAN computer then keeps the fan pump at zero displacement to reduce loading on the starting motor.

RED wire (6B) carries current to the coil of the alternator excite relay to energize the excite circuit. (This is only applicable for alternators with an external excite terminal).

When the key switch is first turned to the RUN position, current is supplied to the engine computer RUN SIGNAL connection through RED wire (106). The engine computer then supplies current to the grid heater relays through TAN wires (217) and (214), allowing current to flow from the batteries to the intake manifold grid heaters and also provides a ground for the WAIT TO START lamp, causing this lamp to light, for as long as the grid heaters are energized. The length of time that the grid heaters remain energized is determined by the engine computer based primarily on the temperature of the engine.

The engine computer also provides a ground for the STOP ENGINE, WARNING, and WATER IN FUEL lamps for a brief period of time to illuminate these lamps as a diagnostic measure to show the operator that these lamps are functional.

Current also flows from the RUN contact through RED wire (2), a 15 amp fuse and RED wire (6A) across the function lockout relay, through TAN wires (9A) and (9), across the start relay, through TAN wire (16) to energize the coil of the start solenoid relay and TAN wire (16B) to energize the coil on the pilot dump valve. The pilot dump valve will open the hydraulic pilot system to tank during start-up to reduce the load on the starting motor. Current also flows through TAN wire (9) to turn ON the pilot off warning light.

Energizing the start solenoid relay coil allows current to flow from the battery along the fusible link and TAN wire (12) to energize the start solenoid coil on the starting motor to close the contacts and operate the starting motor.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher

Engine start and stop

When the key switch is released to the RUN position, the BAT contact remains connected to the RUN contact allowing current to continue to flow through RED wires (6A) and (6B) to the post of the function lockout relay and the excite relay coil (if equipped).

The RUN SIGNAL on the engine computer also remains connected to the battery through RED wire (106) and the optional fire suppression system, allowing the engine to continue to run. If the key is switched off or the fire suppression system activated, power is removed from this circuit and the engine will shut off. The engine computer will also continue to cycle the grid heaters on and off by providing current to TAN wires (217) and (214) for a period of time after start-up to assist with warming up the engine.

In order to operate the machine functions after starting the engine, the front door must be closed and latched to close the contacts of the pilot system limit switch.

To energize the pilot system, momentarily PRESS the pilot reset switch, this will energize the pilot function lockout relay, close the contacts and allow current to flow through wires RED (6A), (6C), TAN (105), (107) and GRN (11) to energize the pilot shut off solenoid valve, the drive brake release solenoid valve and turn ON the pilot on warning light.

When the pilot reset switch is released current will continue to flow through wire TAN (105B) to latch the pilot function lockout relay in the energized position and allow current to continue to flow to the pilot system.

Pressing the pilot off switch (Red button) located on the cab control panel will de-energize the pilot shut-off valve cartridge and render all pilot functions inoperative. The swing and drive motor brakes will also be applied. The pilot on warning light will turn OFF and the pilot off warning light will turn ON.

HORSEPOWER LIMITING CONTROL

PILOT PRESSURE PORT 'P' CONNECTION HORSEPOWER CALIBRATION DO NOT ADJUST

GENERAL DESCRIPTION In the past it was common to lug an engine down when several functions with high loads were used at the same time and engine stalling was avoided only by the operator. In order to prevent engine over loading, the Tigercat machine is equipped with an electronic system which detects any drop in engine speed and de-strokes the main pump to reduce the load on the engine and at the same time maintain engine speed. It is also important to keep engine speed up to prevent overheating due to a drop in fan speed at lower engine speeds.

This is done without any input from the operator and in most cases he will be unaware of the operation of this system. The engine anti-stall system monitors the swing, hoist boom, stick boom, tilt, wrist and levelling functions.

Engine anti-stall

LOAD SENSING SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 9.3

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher valve will signal the main pump to de-stroke and reduce the flow of oil to the main valve.

During normal operating conditions the engine should be running at FULL throttle and the antistall switch in the ON position.

The engine anti-stall system can be turned OFF when required for maintenance work. The engine may then be used at less than full throttle.

The control module in the cab receives and distributes signals through a 25 pin connector which is attached to the wiring harness.

Engine anti-stall to the anti-stall valve via wires 91, 92 and 82 from pins 11 and 16. This signal will cause the anti-stall valve to shift and direct pressure from the pilot system to the main pump controller causing the main pump to de-stroke, "lightening" the load on the engine without affecting engine speed. This electrical signal is a pulse width modulated signal which provides for precise modulation of the antistall valve and the resulting smooth control of the main pump displacement.

ADJUSTING SPEED SENSOR

1. Stop engine.

Refer to Engine anti-stall circuit diagram;

2. Loosen locknut on speed sensor.

•

Pin 1 is connected to "power" through a 2 amp fuse.

3. Screw speed sensor IN until it touches fly wheel.

•

Pin 13 is connected to ground.

4. Turn speed sensor OUT one full turn.

•

Pins 8 and 17 jump wire connected to each other.

5. Tighten locknut.

•

The hydraulic oil cooler/radiator/charge air cooler (CAC) is mounted to the rear of the fan. The A/C condenser core is mounted to the rear of the oil cooler. A debris screen is used to protect the oil cooler/radiator/CAC cooling assembly. The hydraulically driven fan draws air through the screen, through the A/C condenser, the oil cooler/ radiator/CAC cooling assembly and finally blows the air across the engine. The air is expelled to atmosphere through the perforated panels that make up the engine enclosure.

The complete cooling assembly is rubber isolation mounted to reduce the transmission of noise and to isolate the components from vibration.

The fan drive system has a CLEAN(PURGE) function which reverses the direction of the fan to clean the cooling assembly by blowing air in the opposite direction through the cooling assembly to remove dust and debris. In addition, the A/C condenser core, the oil cooler and the engine radiator assembly should be checked every 8 hours (every shift) for accumulation of twigs, leaves, pine needles and dust. All of the engine enclosure doors should also be kept clean. Use personal protective equipment to guard against flying debris.

OIL COOLER BYPASS/ RETURN MANIFOLD The oil cooler bypass return manifold collects oil from the main control valve, fan charge filter, and saw return. The oil cooler bypass return manifold incorporates an oil cooler bypass valve. All oil passing through the oil cooler first passes through the cooler bypass valve. The cooler bypass valve ensures that the differential pressure between the oil cooler inlet and outlet does not exceed set limits. When differential pressure becomes too high oil is returned to tank bypassing the oil cooler, preventing damage to the oil cooler.

Pressure increases within the oil cooler can occur in cold weather when the oil temperatures at startup are very low. Oil from the oil cooler outlets is directed by the oil cooler bypass return manifold to the return manifold and filters before it is returned to tank.

Oil Cooler and Cooling Fan

OIL COOLER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The oil cooler circuit operates as a part of the main hydraulic circuit.

The main pump draws oil from the hydraulic tank and sends it to the main control valve. Return oil from the main control valve sections exits the base manifold at two 'T' ports and 75 psi internal check valves. From there the oil passes through the oil cooler via the oil cooler bypass return manifold, which includes a bypass valve for the oil cooler.

The cooler bypass ensures that the differential pressure between the oil cooler inlet and outlet does not exceed set limits. Pressure increases within the oil cooler can occur in cold weather when oil temperatures at start-up are very low.

Cooling of the oil occurs as air is drawn over the oil cooler cooling fins by the cooling fan. Cooled oil then passes back through the cooler bypass valve and on to the return manifold and return filters and then to the hydraulic tank. A 25 psi bypass valve is incorporated into each pair of return filter heads.

Oil entering the hydraulic tank from the return manifold and filters passes through 3 strainers situated inside the tank below the oil surface.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher COOLING FAN The cooling fan is driven by a dedicated closed loop hydraulic system consisting of a variable displacement fan drive pump and a fixed displacement fan drive motor. The cooling fan is mounted in front of the cooling assembly and draws air through debris screen and cooling assembly. The air is expelled to atmosphere through the perforated panels that make up the engine enclosure.

The CLEAN (PURGE) fan function, operated by a switch in the cab, reverses the direction of air flow, thus dust and debris is forced out of the radiator, oil cooler, A/C condenser core debris screen and perforated panels that make up the engine enclosure.

Oil Cooler and Cooling Fan The fan drive pump is equipped with two high pressure relief valves. These relief valves are factory set and non-adjustable.

The fan drive pump is equipped with an electronic displacement controller (EDC) to control the movement of the swashplate from maximum 'forward' displacement to maximum 'reverse (clean)' displacement.

The EDC is controlled by the IQAN computer so that the fan speed may be adjusted for seasonal temperature variations. The IQAN computer also receives a signal from the engine start circuit to reduce starter load by placing the fan pump at zero displacement when starting the engine.

CAUTION

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.

FAN DRIVE PUMP

FAN PUMP The fan pump is a variable displacement axial piston pump. It is driven off the power take-off of the RH track drive pump. The fan drive pump is actually two separate pumps mounted in a common case and driven by the same input driveshaft.

Hydraulic oil temperature, engine coolant temperature and intake manifold temperatures must be closely monitored when the fan speed is adjusted to a speed below its normal setting.

When the EDC receives a signal from the cooling fan switch via the IQAN computer the cooling fan will operate the fan clean (purge) function, automatically cycling the direction of fan rotation from forward to reverse and back .

The fan drive pump is equipped with mechanical displacement stops to limit both forward and reverse pump displacement. These displacement stops are used to set the maximum forward and reverse fan speeds. Refer to FAN SPEED CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT in THIS SECTION. The secondary pump is the fan drive charge pump, a fixed displacement internal gear pump, which provides charge oil (make-up oil) for the fan drive pump and motor in the closed loop fan drive circuit. Charge flow also provides cooling for the circuit. All charge oil passes through the fan drive charge pressure filter before entering the closed loop.

The fan drive charge pump is equipped with a charge pressure relief valve to maintain the charge pressure. The charge pressure relief valve is factory set and non-adjustable.

The primary pump is a variable displacement, swashplate axial piston pump. This pump is made variable by slipping the pump pistons against a tiltable swashplate cradle.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher COOLING FAN CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The fan "cooling" circuit is a closed loop hydraulic system consisting of a variable displacement pump, a fixed displacement motor and a charge pressure filter.

The fan drive pump includes an integral charge pump which provides charge oil (make-up oil) for closed loop system. Charge flow also provides cooling for the circuit.

Charge oil is filtered prior to entering the loop by the charge pressure filter. The accumulation of excess oil in the pump and motor cases, caused by controlled internal leakage is returned to the hydraulic tank via tank ports on the fan pump, fan motor and fan charge pressure filter.

The fan drive pump is equipped with an electronic displacement controller (EDC) to control the movement of the swashplate. When the EDC receives a signal from the IQAN computer the cooling fan will operate the fan clean (purge) function.

When the cooling fan switch is momentarily pressed in the CLEAN (PURGE) position a signal

830-87

Oil Cooler and Cooling Fan is sent to the IQAN computer. The IQAN computer sends a signal to the fan pump EDC to slow down, reverses fan rotation for a short time, then return the fan to a forward rotation. Fan rotation is reversed by reversing the direction of flow to the motor, thus reversing the direction of the fan. Air flow is reversed forcing dust and debris out of the cooling assembly, A/C condenser core, debris screen and perforated panels that make up the engine enclosure. The IQAN computer will also turn the air conditioning system OFF until the fan clean(purge) cycle is complete.

The fan drive pump displacement stops limit both forward and reverse pump maximum displacement. These displacement stops are used to set the maximum forward and reverse fan speeds.

Fan speed may be reduced for operation in cold weather using the IQAN control system (IQAN MDM display). The fan must be returned to factory settings for operation in warm weather.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher IMPORTANT TRACK DRIVE NOTES

Track drive STRAIGHT TRAVEL

NEW MACHINE Before driving a new machine ensure that track sag is set correctly. Track sag may be set less than specified for shipping purposes. The correct track sag must be adjusted once a machine has been delivered to the job sight and operating in the accumulated soil buildup in the undercarriage.

If the machine does not travel straight, the right and left track speeds are not synchronized. Refer to TRACK SPEED SET-UP PROCEDURE in THIS SECTION. Check speeds of each track and follow the set-up procedures closely to obtain straight travel.

TRACK SAG The track sag dimension is very important and should be checked regularly. A 50% increase in the life of the track assembly can be realized, particularly in bushing O/D wear and 'track pitch' by maintaining the correct amount of track sag. A track that is too tight will wear out significantly faster due to increased tension in the chain.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher HYDROSTATIC DRIVE SYSTEM

Track drive The closed circuit is constantly being charged with filtered hydraulic oil by the charge pump via the charge/pilot/filter manifold and at connections on each drive pump. To allow for this replenishment of clean oil into the loop circuit, controlled internal oil leakage takes place within the cases of the motors.

The pumps use the charge oil to flush the case for cooling purposes. The oil is then returned to tank via the case drain ports. This constant flow of filtered oil into the loop reduces contaminant buildup and assists with cooling.

The primary components of the 830 hydrostatic drive system are two hydraulic pumps and two hydraulic motors connected together by hydraulic hoses. The pump converts the mechanical power of the diesel engine into hydraulic power. This high pressure flow of hydraulic oil is then transmitted to the hydraulic motors through one set of connecting hoses (high pressure side). The motors then converts the hydraulic power back into mechanical power to propel the machine. Oil from the two motors is then returned to the pumps through the other set of connecting hoses (low pressure side) thereby completing a continuous closed hydraulic circuit.

A hydraulic system is termed closed circuit when the hydraulic oil returning from the motors is fed straight back to the pumps without first returning to tank. When the machine is travelling forward, one side of the closed circuit "loop" is a high pressure supply while the other side is a low pressure return.

The supply and return will alternate from side to side of the closed loop as the direction of travel of the vehicle changes from forward to reverse.

Hydrostatic drives are used because they offer enhanced operator control of vehicle speed and tractive effort. As well hydrostatic drive systems give flexibility in the positioning of components within the machine when compared to mechanical drive systems.

Each hydraulic motor is connected to a triple reduction planetary gearbox on each track side frame. The gearboxes have an integral spring apply, hydraulic-release, multi-disc brake which is automatically released whenever the drive system is pressurized.

Track drive

HYDROSTATIC DRIVE PUMP Two hydrostatic drive pumps are used to supply the left and right independent track drive systems with hydraulic oil. The pumps are identical as far as their operating functions are concerned. The RIGHT track drive pump is driven off the upper right pad on the pump drive gearbox. The LEFT track drive pump is driven off the upper left pad.

This left track drive pump has a power take off adapter (PTO) which is used to drive the saw pump.

The drive pumps are variable displacement, swashplate, in line axial piston type pumps. The volume and direction of oil flow from the piston pump is determined by the angle of the tiltable swashplate in the pump. When the swashplate is stroked to a maximum displacement angle, the piston pump will produce maximum flow in one direction of the closed loop circuit. As the swashplate is de-stroked, the flow smoothly decreases until there is no flow at an angle of zero (0°). Continuing to angle the swashplate past this neutral position steplessly reverses the direction of flow from the piston pump.

LH TRACK DRIVE PUMP

The charge pump is a separate fixed displacement, internal gear type pump. The charge pump provides charge oil (make-up oil) for the hydrostatic drive closed circuit systems as well as supplying the pilot system. Oil from the charge pump first passes through the charge/pilot/filter manifold where it is regulated to 450 psi. The charge oil is used to flush the loop, to supply drive pump and motor servo control pressure and to supply pilot pressure to the rest of the machine controls.

Pressing either or both drive pedals in forward or reverse directs pilot oil (450 psi) to shift the spool in the swashplate control valve. This changes the position of the control cylinder which is directly connected to the swashplate of the piston pump.

The angle and direction that the swashplate moves will determine the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. The angle and direction that the swashplate moves is directly proportional to the position of the drive foot pedal. When the drive foot pedals are at rest in the neutral position, charge oil is not supplied to the swashplate. The swashplate therefore remains in the neutral position and no oil is pumped by the piston pump.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher

Track drive

Each hydrostatic piston pump is equipped with a pressure override (POR) control to protect the closed loop hydrostatic drive components from excessive pressure. There are two valves involved.

One is a shuttle valve to select the higher pressure line in the closed circuit and the other is a relief valve. When the tractive effort requirements of the vehicle become excessive the pressure on the high side of the closed loop can reach maximum.

At this point the POR relief valve shifts bleeding off charge pressure to the displacement control valve.

This reduces the pressure to the positioning cylinder, causing the swashplate to reduce pump displacement and pump flow.

Two high pressure crossline relief valves on each pump control the high pressure side of the loop by "dumping" oil into the low pressure side of the loop when the pressure rises above the valve's preset value. These valves are adjustable. These crossline relief valves always dump oil from the high pressure to the low pressure side of the closed circuit in order to keep the hydraulic oil within the closed circuit system.

Refer to PRESSURE SETTINGS in SECTION 4 of THIS SERVICE MANUAL for a complete list of pressure set points discussed above.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher HYDROSTATIC DRIVE MOTOR

Track drive pressure oil from the “begin of stroke” valve. The hydrostatic drive motor normally stays at the smallest displacement in order to drive the machine as fast as possible.

The hydrostatic drive motor is a variable displacement, bent axis, axial piston type.

High pressure oil from the hydrostatic pump enters the motor via port A or port B depending on the direction of travel required. This oil is then directed to a set of pistons inside the motor rotating group cylinder housing. These pistons push against the back of the output shaft at an angle, causing the shaft to rotate.

Only when the pressure in the high pressure side of the closed loop exceeds the “begin of stroke” preset level does the displacement of the motor begin to increase.

As the motor displacement automatically increases, the machine speed automatically slows but the motor is able to drive the machine up steeper slopes and to travel on rougher or wetter terrain. As the pressure in the high pressure side of the closed loop falls below the “begin of stroke” pressure, the motor displacement automatically returns to the smallest displacement and the machine speeds up.

The piston motor is made variable by changing the angle of the motor rotating group cylinder housing relative to the end of the output shaft.

This angle determines the size or displacement of the motor. The displacement determines the output speed and torque of the motor. Increasing the displacement, increases the torque output while reducing the output speed of the motor.

Reducing the displacement reduces the torque and increases the speed.

A flushing valve is incorporated into the hydrostatic drive motor. This provides a regulated flow of oil from the low pressure side of the closed loop into the motor case. This flow reduces the possibility of the buildup of contamination particles within the

The displacement of the motor is changed by an internal control cylinder which receives high

In the LOW position the solenoid on the pilot valve is energized and the motor is in its maximum displacement mode which will give the slowest speed and maximum tractive effort.

The drive motor may be operated in two ranges;

In the DRIVE position the motor is at minimum displacement position which will give the fastest speed. When in this higher speed mode the motor will automatically de-stroke in the event that a high load is encountered, e.g. a short grade or obstacle.

MAXIMUM DISPLACEMENT = 135cc/rev.

MINIMUM DISPLACEMENT = app. 58cc/rev.

These two ranges are controlled by a solenoid pilot valve on the pilot manifold which is operated by the TRACK (LOW/DRIVE) switch in the cab.

The brake release valve consists of a solenoid operated valve cartridge and a pilot operated valve cartridge housed in an aluminum body.

It's function is to control the multi disc brakes housed inside each drive planetary gearbox by applying or releasing pilot pressure from the spring applied brake cylinder(s). When either of the drive foot pedals are pressed, pilot oil is directed via the shuttle valve block to the brake release valve port 'D' where pilot oil (450 psi) shifts the pilot operated valve spool and directs pilot pressure to the brake cylinders to release the brakes. Releasing the drive foot pedals will remove pilot pressure from to the brake release valve causing the spool to shift and direct pilot oil from the brake cylinders to tank applying the brakes (spring applied).

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher TRACK COMPONENTS

Track drive

IMPORTANT: New machine: Before driving a new machine ensure that track sag is set correctly. Track sag may be set less than specified for shipping purposes.

The correct track sag must be adjusted once a machine has been delivered to the job sight and operating in the accumulated soil build-up in the undercarriage.

TRACK SAG NOTE: The track sag dimension is very important and should be checked regularly, 50% increase in the life of the track assembly can be realized, particularly bushing O/D wear and track pitch by maintaining the correct amount of track sag. A track that is too tight will wear out significantly faster due to increased tension in the chain.

Track components operate under varying terrain conditions, most of which cause excessive wear.

Wear to one component can quickly spread to the rest of the track assembly.

To ensure that the track components are always in good running order, a periodic inspection should be made to ensure that components have not come loose, that bolts are at the correct torque, that components are within the specified wear limits (discussed further in this section) and where applicable, check lubrication points.

ANGLE TO BE BETWEEN 90° & 110°

845-12

MEASURING TRACK SAG 1. Position felling head in vertical position and swing boom to side of machine.

2. Place felling head on ground and by forcing down with boom controls, lift track clear of ground.

3. Rotate track in forward and reverse several times. Stop the track while in reverse. Do not clean the track.

4. Stop engine.

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

For a guide on inspection, refer to the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE in SECTION 3 OF THIS MANUAL.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

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.

Whenever possible the machine should always be operated with the felling head over the IDLERS and not over the SPROCKETS. Operating over the sprockets will result in overloading of the contact surfaces between the sprocket and the track bushings. Bushings could crack during sprocket impact.

When installing new components, all traces of paint and dirt must be removed from all mating surfaces including the contact area under the bolt head and nut.

TRACK ADJUSTMENT TRACK SAG ADJUSTMENT

Both the bolt and the nut on the track shoes should be lightly lubricated with SAE 30 oil and tightened using the Torque-turn method.

To tighten track, attach adjustment fitting adapter (3) onto valve body (1). Connect a grease gun to the grease fitting (2) on the adjustment fitting adapter (3). Add grease until track sag dimension is within recommended limits. Remove adjustment fitting adapter.

The torque-turn method involves torquing the bolt to an initial predetermined value, plus an additional 1/3 turn (not the value shown in the torque charts). This ensures a more accurate and consistent torquing of the bolts, with less likelihood of the bolt/nut coming loose later.

CAUTION: The grease is under very high pressure, DO NOT REMOVE the adjustment fitting valve body (1) from the idler adjusting cylinder (4).

When checking the torque values at the first 100 hours and every 125 hours thereafter use the CHECKING TORQUE values listed in the following paragraphs.

To loosen track, slowly loosen valve body (1) until grease begins to escape via a relief passage in the valve body housing, grease will be seen escaping from around valve body threads. When track sag is correct, tighten valve body.

If loose shoes or under torqued bolts are discovered during the FIRST 100 HOUR check, they should be removed, surfaces cleaned, and reused using the torque-turn method. If the shoe is not loose but a single bolt is low on torque, loosen the bolt and re torque-turn.

CW001-2

If loose or under torqued bolts are discovered any time after the 100 HOUR check, the bolts and nuts must be replaced with NEW ones, surfaces cleaned, and re torque-turned.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher IDLER WEAR Measure the idler wheel side diameters (tread contact surface) at several points to obtain the worst wear condition. Position a depth gauge or measuring tape as close as possible toward the centre of the idler with the gauge flat on the centre flange and parallel to the idler shaft.

Track drive Since the checking area is not immediately visible, the measuring may be done using a "go/ no go" gauge made from a piece of 1/8" flat bar.

The gauge is inserted down through the holes in the track and placed between the track guide and the track bushing. Make sure that dirt build-up does not interfere with the reading. Check at several locations. The ends of the track slides tend to wear first. The slides should be replaced if excessive wear is found.

Two identical cylinders are used side by side in the "stick" position.

The "head tilt" function uses one cylinder.

Boom functions 'ER' BOOM SYSTEM The 'ER' Boom Valve, located on the upper frame at the base of the main boom, connects one of the STICK cylinders with the HOIST boom cylinders circuit in such a way that allows the boom system to be controlled by movement of a single joystick lever.

860-01.AI

These cylinders receive oil from the main pump via three spool sections on the main hydraulic valve.

Two joystick handles in the cab control the movement of each cylinder by directing pilot oil to the pilot end caps on each end of the appropriate spool sections to shift the spool and move the cylinder(s).

PUSH LEFT JOYSTICK FORWARD TO MOVE FELLING HEAD AWAY FROM MACHINE Simply pushing the LEFT joystick FORWARD moves the boom straight out of pulling back on the joystick moves the head towards the machine.

The right joystick moves the boom system UP or DOWN. 860-01.AI

BOOM CONTROL VALVE The boom, stick and tilt spool sections each have port relief valves with anticavitation features.

These protect the circuit from abnormally high pressures induced by the load.

Adjustable spool travel stops on each pilot end cap of the spool sections can be adjusted to limit spool travel and control the flow of oil to the cylinder, which in turn controls the operating speed of the cylinders.

An additional flow control adjusting screw (restrictor) located on the top of the main valve manifold is used to regulate the flow of return oil from the rod end of the TILT cylinder.

This adjustment is to compensate for the weight of trees in the felling head causing the head to TILT FORWARD too fast. Tilting forward too fast can cause oil to cavitate in the base end of the tilt cylinder.

For adjusting procedure refer to TILT CYLINDER (ROD END) FLOW ADJUSTMENT in THIS SECTION. To adjust the relief valves, Refer to SET MAIN BOOM, STICK AND TILT PORT RELIEF VALVES in THIS SECTION. To adjust oil flow, Refer to ADJUST OIL FLOW TO CYLINDERS in THIS SECTION.

Boom functions SET MAIN BOOM, STICK AND TILT PORT RELIEF VALVES NOTE: Constant loosening and tightening of the locknut (sealnut) on the port relief valve adjusting screws will eventually cause the seal in the nut to break down and leak.

Because of this it is best to keep the adjusting procedure brief.

'ER' BOOM SYSTEM When setting up a machine equipped with an (ER) boom system, the following points must be noted.

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 attachment is resting squarely on a solid footing, tank pressure is relieved and engine is shut off before disconnecting any hydraulic lines. See FIG. 1.

Also note that because of the hydraulic connection between the main boom and ER cylinders, the ER cylinder can overpower the stick cylinder 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.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher LEVELLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Levelling NOTE: All tilt directions (left, right, forward and backward) in this section refer to direction of tilt when the operator is facing the front of the machine (toward the idler).

The levelling function is operated by thumb switches on the joysticks. For operating instructions refer to JOYSTICKS in the OPERATOR'S MANUAL for THIS MACHINE.

For additional information regarding SAFETY and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, Refer to SECTION 1 of THIS MANUAL and SECTION 2 in the OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

The levelling function is controlled by the IQAN computer control system through the proportional pilot manifold which directs pilot oil to the two levelling sections of the main hydraulic valve.

Two levelling cylinders are used to operate the levelling function. Operating both cylinders in the same direction tilts the leveller forward and backward. Operating the cylinders in opposite directions tilts the leveller left and right. Each cylinder is equipped with a counterbalance valve for crossline relief and load holding.

Levelling main control valve, Refer to SECTION 4 in THIS MANUAL.

The levelling spool sections of the main control valve each have port relief valves with anticavitation features.

For a full description of the engine anti-stall, Refer to SECTION 9 in THIS MANUAL.

These protect the circuit from abnormally high pressures induced by the load.

For a full description of the pilot system including the joystick handles, Refer to SECTION 5 in THIS MANUAL.

Adjustable spool travel stops on each pilot end cap of the spool sections can be adjusted to limit spool travel and control the flow of oil to the cylinder, which in turn controls the operating speed of the cylinders.

The IQAN computer controls the speed at which the spools are shifted to reduce harsh starts and stops. The IQAN computer can also be used to reduce the speed of levelling cylinders if required.

To adjust the relief valves, Refer to SET MAIN LEVELLING PORT RELIEF VALVES in THIS SECTION. To adjust oil flow, Refer to ADJUST OIL FLOW TO CYLINDERS in THIS SECTION.

Levelling DANGER

A counterbalance valve is mounted on each of the two levelling cylinders. Each counterbalance valve consists of a two cavity 90 degree cross piloted steel body and two adjustable pilot operated counterbalance valves.

Extreme care and attention must be exercised when making adjustments to the levelling hydraulic and electrical circuits.

Ensure that all personnel not directly associated with the servicing are well clear of the machine.

The whole upper frame/cab/engine compartment, boom and attachment can tilt unexpectedly from side to side or forward and backwards during servicing, creating "pinch points" between the upper frame and track assembly and the ground.

The purpose of each counterbalance valve is to act as a crossline relief to provide load holding. In addition the counterbalance valves provide more precise control of levelling stability by minimizing creep.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION 23526A R0

To tilt to the left oil from the RH base section of the main control valve flows to the RH levelling cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes into port 'VR' through an internal check valve and out port 'CR' to the base end of the cylinder. Simultaneously oil from the LH rod section flows to the LH cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes into 'VC' through an internal check valve and out port 'CC' to the rod end of the cylinder.

TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH USE SUPPORT BRACE AS SHOWN WHEN SERVICING.

WARNING Always use extreme caution when servicing the levelling cylinders. Always adjust counterbalance relief valves fully clockwise to release pressure before servicing or removing levelling cylinders.

Counterbalance valves are designed to maintain hydraulic pressure in the levelling cylinders in the event of hydraulic hose failure. Therefore if pressure is not released prior to cylinder removal, very high pressure levels can be trapped in the levelling cylinders even after they have been completely removed from the machine.

To tilt to the right oil from the RH rod section of the main control valve flows to the RH levelling cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes into port 'VC' through an internal check valve and out port 'CC' to the rod end of the cylinder. Simultaneously oil from the LH base section flows to the LH cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes port 'VR' through an internal check valve and out port 'CR' to the base end of the cylinder.

an internal check valve and out port 'CR' to the base end of the cylinder.

To tilt back oil from the LH rod section of the main control valve flows to the LH levelling cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes into port 'VC' through an internal check valve and out port 'CC' to the rod end of the cylinder.

Simultaneously oil from the RH rod section flows to the RH cylinder. At the cylinder counterbalance valve it passes into 'VC' through an internal check valve and out port 'CC' to the rod end of the cylinder.

Counterbalancing is provided by internal crossline pilot operated relief valves which balance the pressure of hydraulic fluid in the cylinders. Oil entering the counterbalance valves provides pilot pressure to operate the relief valve in the opposite line which allows return oil from the cylinders to pass back to the levelling control valve. In addition there is a second internal pilot line which operates the relief valve from the return line to reduce pressure in the return lines when necessary.

LEVELLING CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 13.10

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher LEVELLING CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Levelling DANGER

The leveller function is controlled by IQAN computer control system through the proportional pilot manifold and the pilot operated levelling sections of the main control valve. The forward/ back and left/right levelling functions are operated by two independent levelling cylinders.

Extreme care and attention must be exercised when making adjustments to the levelling hydraulic and electrical circuits.

Ensure that all personnel not directly associated with the servicing are well clear of the machine.

The whole upper frame/cab/engine compartment, boom and attachment can tilt unexpectedly from side to side or forward and backwards during servicing, creating "pinch points" between the upper frame and track assembly and the ground.

The left/right levelling function pivots around pins connecting the upper pivot and intermediate pivot sections of the undercarriage installation. To tilt left the left hand levelling cylinder retracts while the right hand cylinder extends. To tilt right the left hand cylinder extends while the right hand cylinder retracts.

The forward/back levelling function pivots around pins connecting the intermediate pivot and the undercarriage assembly. To tilt forward both the left and right cylinders extend. To tilt back both the left and right cylinders retract.

DANGER

The forward, backward, left and right tilt functions are operated by thumb switches on the right and left joysticks. When the operator presses a levelling thumb switch on the joystick a signal is sent to the computer control system. The computer control system generates a signal which is sent out to the appropriate solenoids on the proportional pilot manifold activating the proportional pilot operated solenoid valves which direct pilot oil to the corresponding pilot operated levelling control valves to shift the spools. The spools direct oil (system pressure) from the main pump to the cylinder and from the cylinder back to tank via the levelling valve sections and the oil cooler.

SWING BRAKE

•

The swing motor is a piston motor with crossline relief valves mounted on the input end. The crossline relief valves provide a cushion to the high forces that occur during start and stop of the swing.

FROM BRAKE RELEASE PILOT

Power is transmitted from the motor to a double reduction planetary gearbox which has a springapplied, hydraulic-release, multi-disc brake on the input shaft. This brake is normally ON. Placing the swing brake switch in the OFF position energizes the swing brake solenoid pilot valve on the pilot manifold and allows pilot oil pressure to flow to the swing brake via port 'Y', to release the swing brake.

SWING DRIVE ASSEMBLY

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF SWING MOTOR FROM GEARBOX When the swing drive motor is removed from the swing drive gearbox for inspection or repair, there is a possibility that the sun gear may not mesh properly with the first stage planetary gears when it is reinstalled. This will cause premature failure of the swing drive gearbox.

Installing the sun gear involves lining up all of the brake discs so that the outer splines on the sun gear can slide through the brake discs allowing the bottom gear teeth to mesh properly with the first stage planet gears.

BRAKE HOUSING WITH MOTOR REMOVED

3. Remove the sun gear from the swing drive gearbox and inspect the gear teeth at the bottom of the sun gear for abnormal damage or wear.

If there is no visible damage to the gear teeth, proceed to step (6). If there is visible damage to the sun gear, it must be replaced, proceed to step (4).

4. If the sun gear in step (3) has visible signs of damage, then the first stage planetary gears must also be inspected. Remove the brake assembly and inspect the first stage planetary gears for visible damage. If there is no visible damage, proceed to step (5). If there is visible damage to the first stage planetary gears, then the entire swing drive gearbox should be replaced.

5. Assuming that there is no visible damage to the first stage planetary gears, reassemble the brake assembly back onto the swing drive gearbox and secure it by reusing the six M12x30mm hex head bolts. Torque each hex head bolt to 62 lbf/ft (84 Nm).

15.9

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher SWING BEARING WEAR LIMITS It is important that the swing bearing be periodically inspected for wear. Any significant wear will be noticeable by observing too much "tilting" of the upper frame relative to the lower frame. A small amount of designed-in clearance in the bearing is necessary and is present in a new machine.

Too much clearance will affect the backlash between the ring gear and the drive pinion and if left unchecked will cause damage to the gear teeth and ultimately the swing drive gearbox.

The main cause of wear in the ball race can be due to a lack of lubricant or not following the proper lubricating procedure. A damaged or missing peripheral seal will also contribute to early wear by allowing dirt particles to enter the ball race.

Swing The following procedure will verify the amount of wear in the ball race: 1. Position machine with boom fully extended as in position 1.

2. Set indicator to zero.

3. Lower boom as in position 2.

4. Note tilt reading on indicator.

5. Return machine to position 1.

6. Check to see if reading on indicator has returned to zero, if not repeat steps 1 thru 4.

7. Rotate upper frame 90 deg. and repeat steps 1 thru 6.

8. The bearing is considered to be worn when the total play is 0.105" or greater.

Regular inspection of the seal should be carried out and the proper lubricating procedure should be followed. Refer to FILTER AND LUBRICATION SCHEDULE in SECTION 3 of THIS MANUAL.

spool sections and back to tank via the outlet section. From the tank passage, the oil leaves the valve through the outlet section and returns to tank.

The saw spool section has a self centering, three position spool which is open centered. A spring in the spool end cap holds the spool in the center neutral position.

The spool is shifted by pilot pressure being applied to one end of the spool from the pilot valve. Shifting the spool directs oil from the saw pump to the saw motor.

These port relief valves must be screwed IN completely for proper operation of the saw circuit.

The relief valve installed in the saw inlet section of the main saw valve is set higher than the saw pump compensator pressure setting and will limit the pressure should a pump regulator or "swashing" failure occur.

The relief valve diverts oil to tank via the tank passages in the spool sections and the outlet section of the clamps/saw valve. It also functions as an anti-cavitation relief valve.

Tigercat LX830/X830 Feller Buncher SAW CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The saw blade (typically) is driven by a variable displacement hydraulic motor (axial piston, bent axis) which is mounted directly above the saw blade and coupled to the saw blade through a drive shaft.

The variable displacement saw pump supplies oil flow to the motor via the saw control valve. The main saw control valve is pilot operated and controls the flow of hydraulic oil from the saw pump to the saw motor. A relief valve is installed in the inlet section of the main saw control valve.

A solenoid operated pilot valve controls the flow of pilot oil to the end of the spool in the main saw control valve.

The saw switch located on the control panel in the cab is used to turn the saw ON or OFF. It is a two position switch controlling the flow of electrical current via a relay to the saw pilot valve solenoid.

An electrical signal from the saw switch energizes the solenoid in the saw pilot valve to shift the spool and direct pilot oil to one end of the spool section of the main saw control valve.

NOTE: Saw will not operate with pilot system OFF. Saw will not function properly with low pilot pressure.

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

Saw drive With the main saw control valve spool in this neutral position, the hydraulic oil is directed through the open centre of the main control valve and back to tank. This prevents the saw pump from generating system pressure to rotate the blade, it also causes the saw pump to shift to maximum displacement.

When the saw switch is placed in the ON position, the solenoid operated pilot valve will be placed in the energized position directing pilot oil to shift the spool in the main saw control valve. This will direct oil from the saw pump to the saw motor, causing the system pressure to rise and the saw blade to begin to rotate.

When the pressure (system pressure) builds up to 3600 psi the spool in the pump compensator valve shifts to direct oil to the pump swashplate control piston. The piston moves the swashplate towards the neutral position to cut back the flow of oil while at the same time maintaining the pressure and continuing to rotate the blade.

This system has a lower horsepower requirement and generates less heat since the pump reduces it's output flow instead of dumping hydraulic oil over relief valves.

The saw motor adjusts its displacement in response to system pressure, this is only true with variable displacement motors.

Return oil from the saw motor is directed back to tank through a return line with a 1 psi check valve installed at the tank connection.

For explanation of saw motor, refer to saw head manufacturers manual.

IMPORTANT: To maximize pump and motor life, do not shut the engine off until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.

With the saw switch in the OFF position, the solenoid operated pilot valve is in the deenergized position preventing pilot oil flow from shifting the spool in the main saw control valve.

CLAMPS PUMP

CLAMPS PUMP

The clamps pump is an axial-piston variable displacement pump controlled by a pressure compensator. The pressure compensator is mounted directly onto the pump and has a STANDBY pressure adjustment and a POR adjustment.

MAIN PUMP

•• •• PRESSURE COMPENSATOR

The STANDBY adjusting screw is screwed completely in and is NOT used for this application.

The POR is adjusted to operate at 3300 psi.

•

Until system pressure reaches 3300 psi, the compensator valve will be in the "return" position blocking oil flow to the swashplate control piston leaving the pump at maximum displacement.

The pump is driven off the power take-off of the main pump which is mounted on pad 'C' of the pump drive gearbox.

CONTROL VALVES

Oil enters the mid inlet section and is allowed to pass through the two spool sections (clamp/ accumulating) and back to tank via the outlet section. Each of the spool sections has a self centering 3-position spool which is open center. A spring in the spool end cap holds the spool in the center neutral position. The spool is shifted by pilot pressure being applied to either end of the spool. Shifting the spool directs oil to operate any one of the two functions (or all at the same time if required but with reduced flow to each).

For a detailed description of the pilot manifold refer to SECTION 5 of THIS MANUAL. CLAMP/ACCUMULATING VALVE The valve consists of three open center spool sections, an end inlet section, a mid inlet section and an outlet section. The inlet (end) section feeds a single spool which is used for the saw function. The mid inlet section feeds the remaining two spools which are used for the clamp and accumulating arms functions. Each spool is pilot operated. The outlet section is common to all three sections and returns oil to the hydraulic tank.

This manual is applicable to factory installed machine functions and controls. It does not take into account any changes or modifications made after shipment. Verify all functions before operating this machine.

CLAMP AND ACCUMULATING ARMS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The clamp and accumulating arms are each operated by independent hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders receive oil from the variable displacement clamps pump via two spool sections in the clamp/accumulating control valve.

The clamp arm is operated by two thumb switches (OPEN and CLOSE) located on the right joystick control handle. These switches operate two solenoid pilot valves which direct pilot oil to the clamp arm spool section of the control valve, to shift the spool. The spool directs oil from the pump to either end of the cylinder and from the cylinder back to tank.

The accumulating arms are operated by two thumb switches (OPEN and CLOSE) located on the left joystick control handle. These switches operate two solenoid pilot valves which direct pilot oil to the accumulating arms spool section of the control valve, to shift the spool. The spool directs oil from the pump to either end of the cylinder and from the cylinder back to tank.

Clamps 6. Turn both port relief valve adjusting screws on the clamp and accumulating arms spool sections of the control valve out until spring pressure is relieved and then turn adjusting screws one full turn in.

7. Start the engine and set throttle to IDLE.

IMPORTANT: Avoid blowing oil over the relief for longer than 5 seconds, as this will cause excessive heating of the hydraulic fluid and possible damage to the pump.

NOTE: It may be necessary to increase the engine speed sufficiently to prevent the engine from stalling.

Air in pilot end caps Air accumulation in the pilot end caps of the clamp/accumulating control valve can cause the clamp arms to behave in a sluggish manor. To bleed the air: Pressurize the hydraulic tank to approximately 5 psi and loosen the suspected pilot end cap fitting to release the air. After completion, tighten the fittings and re-adjust the pressure in the hydraulic tank.

LOAD SENSING\ENGINE ANTI-STALL

The wrist spool section has port relief valves with anticavitation features.

The wrist hydraulics along with the boom, swing and levelling circuits are all under the control of the load sensing system incorporated into the main hydraulic circuit.

These protect the circuit from abnormally high pressures induced by the load.

For a full description of the main hydraulic system including load sensing, the main pump and the main control valve, Refer to SECTION 4 in THIS MANUAL.

Adjustable spool travel stops on each pilot end cap of the spool section can be adjusted to limit spool travel and control the flow of oil to the wrist, which in turn controls the operating speed of the wrist.

For a full description of the engine anti-stall, Refer to SECTION 9 in THIS MANUAL.

The IQAN computer controls the speed at which the spools are shifted to reduce harsh starts and stops. The IQAN computer can also be used to reduce the operating speed wrist if required.

For a full description of the pilot system including the joystick handles, Refer to SECTION 5 in THIS MANUAL.

To adjust the relief valves, Refer to SET WRIST PORT RELIEF VALVES in THIS SECTION. To adjust oil flow (wrist cycle times) refer to TIGERCAT SAW OPERATING AND SERVICE MANUAL for detailed information.
