HAZARD ZONE

DANGER

ROTATING SAW The safety of persons outside the cab is the responsibility of the machine operator.

When approaching an operating machine on foot, stay at least 500 feet (150M) away until the operator recognizes your presence. Make sure that all harvesting equipment is shut down before advancing to the machine. NOTE: Opening the cab front door will stop machine functions. Opening the cab side door will NOT stop machine functions.

Safety

Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against noise. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. This machine exceeds 70dB(A) in the cab and exceeds 85dB(A) when servicing machine engine. Always use the handrails and steps provided when mounting and dismounting from the machine. Do not jump off the machine at any time. Do not try to climb onto or off of a moving machine. Do not use the seat armrest or joystick as a handle when entering or leaving the cab. Do not use the machine foot controls as steps.

When mounting or dismounting the machine always use the 3 point technique; use one hand with 2 feet or 2 hands with 1 foot.

WARNING

Avoid mounting or dismounting the machine in areas with slippery surfaces. You should dry, de-ice clean up or cover slippery surfaces with an anti-slip material before mounting or dismounting the machine.

Safety

WARNING

Do not walk on machine surfaces with steel cleated foot wear. Steel cleats on steel surfaces are slippery and do not provide a safe foot hold. Tigercat X870C/LX870C Feller Buncher

WARNING

It is not recommended to walk on machine surfaces that are not designated walking areas. No attempt should be made to walk on angled steel surfaces or surfaces that are irregular in shape. Walking surfaces on the machine must be covered with anti-slip materials to provide a safe foot hold and prevent slipping. These anti-slip surfaces should be maintained on a regular basis. If the surface shows signs of wear, the anti-slip material must be replaced immediately.

To reduce risk of fire, machines should be completely cleaned of debris at least daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) should be eliminated immediately. Always turn OFF engine before cleaning machine. Maintain a clean cab interior, clear away trash or debris. Machine should be washed completely at every major service. Inspect the machine daily for signs of damage or unusual wear, to structures. Check for fluid leaks, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately. Check windows and door guards for damage. Check protective windows for cracks; a damaged window has reduced strength to stop flying objects. All damaged windows must be replaced with original equipment. Check windows for scratching, crazing and cloudiness that could impair clear visibility all around the machine. Do not operate the machine with any defective or inoperable components. Check all fluid levels. Do not operate the machine with any of the exhaust system, safety covers, oil shields, or other devices removed.

Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location on the vehicle at all times.

Working with oil

Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints (example: eczema). Strict hygiene should always be observed. Some advice which should be observed: • Oils used in this machine may be hot enough to cause serious burns. • Avoid contact with oil, particularly heated oil. • Oil on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water. • Wear protective gloves. Hands should be clean before putting on gloves. Apply protective cream to the hands to make washing easier. • Don't put oily rags in your pockets. • Oil soiled clothing should be changed as soon as possible. • Always keep an extra overall handy, but not in the machine where it can become dirty. • Cuts and abrasions must be attended to immediately. Clean them and apply first-aid. • Avoid breathing in oil fumes. • Wash hands and arms frequently (example: at each meal break or as often as possible).
