Safety
Tigercat X870C/LX870C Feller Buncher OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued CAUTION Do not open cab doors or window screens when the cab is on a slope. The doors and screens are heavy and could swing out with considerable force. Anyone in the path of the swing could be injured. Anyone opening the door or screen and holding on to it could be pulled out of the cab and injured. MACHINE STABILITY AND TRACTION MACHINES WITHOUT LEVELER When working on slopes, travel straight up or down the slope to prevent roll-over. NEVER travel across a STEEP slope or side hill: • As logs are added to the accumulator pocket, the handling and the stability of the machine will change. • To avoid tip over, keep the felling head as low as possible to maintain a low center of gravity. • Always be prepared to dump the load in case of an emergency. • Do not overload the machine as this can create an unstable condition and cause a rollover.
