WARNING

DO NOT operate this machine to lift or move any objects other than what it is designed to lift or move.

• Do not use the boom to service other

equipment.

• Do not use the boom to lift items such

as tires, engines, cylinders, boom components, etc.

• Do not modify the boom system. • Do not add hooks or lugs to the boom for

the purpose of attaching lifting rigging.

• Do not use the attachment for any purpose other than the intended function.

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

Always rest the attachment on the ground when operation is stopped, regardless if the engine is running or shut off. Operate the machine only from a seated position in the operator’s seat. Watch for ground hazards such as metal debris, wire fencing or rocks. When travelling position attachment and boom so as not to impair vision. If vision is limited by dust, smoke, fog, rain or snow, stop the machine until visibility is restored. Park machine at least 15 m (50 ft) 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 grapple onto solid ground, the trailer or carrier. If out of the operator's cab for an extended period shut the machine off. Never work alone. Regularly inform other crew members of your intentions, location and length of time to perform duties.

250D-076 BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH Turn the battery disconnect switch off if the vehicle is to be idle for an extended period of time (Example – overnight).

When parking the machine;

• Park on level ground only and engage the swing brake. • Do not park on a hillside or incline. • Take the machine out of DRIVE MODE. This will automatically engage the park brake. • Lower the attachment onto level ground. • Stop the engine. • Turn the machine battery disconnect switch off if the vehicle is to be parked for an extended period of time (Example – overnight).

NOTE:

Wait 30 seconds after engine shut down before turning off battery disconnect switch. If battery disconnect is turned off before this the engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) will register a fault. When transporting the machine watch that enough clearance is available on both sides and above the machine or any of its attachments to avoid contact with power or telephone lines, bridge structures, etc. Before transporting the machine check to ensure that all doors, panels and access covers are installed properly and secured. Improperly secured doors or panels pose a serious danger to pedestrians and other vehicles. NOTE: This machine is equipped with an After Run/ Accessory Relay which delays the power disconnect to engine related fuses and relays (ECU /ATS relay, NOx Sensor relay, NOx Sensor fuse, ECU Power fuse, DCU fuse). Whenever the engine is stopped all DEF solution is pumped back to tank before the engine power system is turned off. This process takes approximately 90

seconds.

Refer to AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM in SECTION 3 for more information.

SERVICING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Tigercat T234B Loader

Conduct maintenance inspections at least as frequently as recommended in SECTION 3.

When servicing or repairing equipment, shut the engine down. Turn Battery Disconnect switch OFF and lock out the switch in accordance with local regulations. This machine is equipped with a remotely operated battery disconnect relay. Some wiring on the machine is live even when the battery disconnect switch is off. When servicing the electrical system, remove the battery cables from the batteries disconnecting the negative cables first.

250D-076

BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH

Install a 'DO NOT START ENGINE' sign on the operator’s cab door and in the engine compartment when making repairs to the machine. Before performing maintenance or repair work on any equipment, consult the manufacturer’s instruction manual and follow recommended procedures.

WARNING

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

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

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. Accumulators will self-drain within 2 minutes of stopping the engine.

Tigercat T234B Loader

The radiator and the engine cooling system should be cleaned and serviced daily to maintain moderate engine temperatures.

WARNING

WARNING, HOT FLUIDS AND HOT MACHINE SURFACES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS!

• Before servicing the machine, allow the

engine cooling system, fuel system, exhaust system, hydraulic system and machine surfaces to cool down.

• Use a thermometer to check surface and

system temperatures to ensure it is safe to begin service work.

• DO NOT begin service work until the

surface or system temperature has cooled down to below 38°C (100°F)! Safety

Prior to welding on any part of the machine, the repair area should be cleaned and a fire extinguisher should be made available at the welding location. Care must be taken in attaching the welding machine grounding clamp so current does not pass through bearings, especially the swing bearing. Turn OFF the battery disconnect switch. Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (-) battery cables from the batteries disconnecting the negative cable first. This machine is equipped with sensitive electronic control equipment, prior to welding:

Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns. Shut off engine. Only remove coolant filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

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

WARNING

DO NOT operate this machine to lift or move any objects other than what it is designed to lift or move.

• Do not use the boom to service other

equipment.

• Do not use the boom to lift items such

as tires, engines, cylinders, boom components, etc.

• Do not modify the boom system. • Do not add hooks or lugs to the boom for

the purpose of attaching lifting rigging.

• Do not use the attachment for any

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

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. Before performing work under the boom system ensure it is firmly supported. When opening or closing power operated engine door, watch for personnel in door areas. If the engine is running inside a building, ensure that sufficient ventilation is available to prevent a build-up of toxic exhaust fumes. Run the engine only when it is necessary for testing or adjustments.

Work in a ventilated area. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe extension to remove toxic exhaust fumes. If you don't have an exhaust pipe extension, either work outside, or open the shop doors.
