ELECTRIC LINES
DEATH WILL RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH ELEC
TRIC LINES.
Never move any part of machine or load closer
than 10 feet plus twice the line insulator length to
electric lines. A line insulator is what connects an
electric line to an electric pole.
For example, if a line insulator is 6 inches long,
operator must stay at least 10 feet plus twice the
line insulator length (2x6 =12 inches or 1 foot) from
electric line, which means machine must stay at
least 11 feet from the electric line.
If machine touches an electric line, stay inside the
cab. Carefully move machine or load away from
electric line, without pulling the line down.
DO NOT allow anyone else to touch machine while
it is touching an electric line. If machine cannot be
moved away from the electric line without pulling
line down, have someone contact the utility company to disconnect power from line. If this is not
possible, or if machine begins to burn, jump away
from machine to the ground with both feet together, in one smooth jump. Do not run or walk away
from machine. Jump with feet together (“bunny
hop”) away from machine. DO NOT touch machine
and ground at the same time or else electricity in
the line will go through your body. Get away from
machine after jumping.
SERIOUS INJURY OR
Notify the utility company immediately. DO NOT
let anyone near the machine while it is touching an
electric line.
ELECTRICAL STORM
Electrical storms (lightning) can cause severe personal injury or death.
When lightning is striking in the vicinity of the
machine, the operator should NEVER attempt the
following procedures:

6. FM STEREO INDICATOR
Indicator will illuminate during reception of FM stereo broadcasts. If
indicator ickers or goes on and o as machine moves, stereo signal
may be too weak to reproduce clearly.
7. ANTENNA TRIMMER
It is important to adjust the antenna trimmer for optimum AM
reception. The antenna trimmer is located at the back of the tap slot.
Adjust following these instructions:
• Tune in a weak station around 1400 KHz on the AM band.
• Using a small screwdriver, slowly adjust trimmer for maximum
radio output.
8. FM LOCAL/DISTANT SELECTOR
This selector switch is incorporated to allow maximum reception in
both weak and strong FM signal areas. For normal reception conditions, and when receiving a wide range of signals including weak or
distant stations, switch should be set to the IN position, which will
allow maximum signal to the receiver. When in an extremely strong
(local) signal area, set switch to local setting (OUT position). This will
eliminate weak signals and suppress overly strong signals to avoid
overloading receiver input. When moving out of strong signal area,
return switch to the distant (IN) setting.
NOTE: The Local/Distant selector aects only FM signals.
9. CASSETTE DOOR
Hold cassette with exposed tap edge to the right and insert it into
the cassette door. Depress fully until cassette is engaged and begins

FIRE PREVENTION
Fires can cause personal
injury or machine damage.
Keep machine clean. Remove debris, especially from
heat sources. Fire prevention beats re ghting. Hourly
or daily inspections can reduce the possibility of res.
Forest debris can collect on the machine and cause a re. When forest debris mixes
with ammable uids in a hot, conned space, the risk of a re starting greatly increases. KEEP THE MACHINE
CLEAN.
Check machine daily for re hazards. Remove debris from areas of the machine that create heat and that are
potential re start points. Depending on machine model, check for ammable debris in the following locations:
Fire needs fuel. Remove combustible material (fuel for re) from heat sources. Keep the machine clean. Remove
the following materials, and other combustible materials from areas of the machine that create heat:
• Pine needles • Twigs • Debris
• Shop rags • Oil spills • Coolant mixture
• Leaves • Sticks • Sawdust
• Grease • Bark • Diesel fuel
Keep the machine clean. Risk of re increases if combustible materials and ammable materials build up on machine. This machine is not designed to house or store combustible materials.
Regularly remove ammable materials (such as diesel fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and grease) from all areas of
the machine. Clean up after working. Keep the fuel and hydraulic systems in good repair.
Check hydraulic hoses, fuel lines, and ttings for leaks. Tighten loose ttings. If hoses or lines are bent, kinked, or
show signs of wear, install new parts. Check electrical connections to be sure they are clean and secure.
Frayed, damaged or worn insulation on battery cables or other wires may lead to electrical res. Check cables
and wires and replace if insulation is frayed, worn, or damaged.
At the end of each shift ALWAYS stay with the machine for 30 minutes after shutting down
the engine to ensure there is no forest debris/trash re start up. Keep a re extinguisher ready during this 30 minute
cool down.

OPERATION
LANDING LAYOUT
• The loader operator is in one of the best positions
on the work site to notice a problem and warn
others by sounding the horn. The loader operator is responsible for the safety of people on the
ground.
• All landings (decks) should provide an area clear
of suspended loads for landing personnel (deck
hands) to work. Remember, logs can roll or be
thrown a considerable distance.
• If clearance of suspended loads cannot be provided, STOP loading operations and lower grapple
while deck hands are working on the landing.
• All obstructing trees should be removed to ensure
clearance for loading.
G.034.03
• Never locate landing near overhead electrical
lines. See Electrocution Dangers in this section for
instructions.
HEELING PICKING UP LOGS OR POLES
• Never operate this machine with tires touching
the ground. Lower stabilizers to the ground, and
raise tires slightly o the ground.
• Always lift and heel long logs from butt end of log
(larger end). Place grapple on log as illustrated so
the log will not hit the stick boom cylinder.
• Never pinch a log. Always make sure the grapple
G.046.03
wraps around the log.
Always place logs in heel
on opposite side of boom, away from cab. This can
reduce the risk of a log ying toward the cab if a
log slips in the grapple.
• Never heel logs from the center — this puts the
ends of the logs too close to the boom cylinders
and the cab when drag loading.
2410
• Never swing load or grapple over truck cab being
loaded.
• Make sure truck driver and other personnel are
away from truck and loader when operating
loader.
• On booms without heels, pick up logs toward the
butt end. When lifting logs at their balance point,
take care when rotating logs to make sure they
clear the loader and other obstructions.

1111
Page 63
OPERATION
GRAPPLE CONTROL
Study and learn the grapple control functions (see
Controls and Instruments Section). Improper rotation
of grapple or accidental opening of grapple will cause
loss of control of the load.
• Do not change function arrangement.
• Use proper grapple to match application.
G.048.03
• For log handling always use a log bypass, or com-
bination bypass/pulp grapple.
• For short wood handling, use a log bypass, combi-
nation bypass or butt-style pulpwood grapple.
• Never swing and load a single log or branch by
pinching the sides of the log or stem with the
grapple jaw tips. Always clamp the log or branch
within the grapple jaws.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
1. Bring machine to a complete stop.
2. Lower attachment to ground with the main and
stick booms fully extended. The grapple should
be open with the jaw tips on the ground. For
extra stability on unfrozen ground, jaw tips can be
closed slightly so that they dig into the ground.

FUELS AND LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
LUBRICATION, OIL PERFORMANCE, AND VISCOSITY RECOMMENDATIONS
Use of a quality engine lubricating oil combined with appropriate oil and lter change intervals are critical
factors in maintaining engine performance and durability. When changing or adding engine oil, use Premium
Engine Oil. For more information, refer to Cummins's engine operator’s manual.
When adding lubricants, do not mix dierent brands or grade weights. Manufacturers’
additives are not always compatible.
Cummins Engine Company Inc., recommends the use of a multi-graded lubricating oil since it has been found
to improve oil consumption control and improve engine cranking in cold temperatures while maintaining
lubrication at high operating temperatures.
A multi-graded oil is recommended with viscosity grades as shown in the Cummins chart below. The use of
single-grade lubricating oil is not recommended except for synthetic oils used in arctic conditions.
Cummins does not recommend the use of aftermarket additives in oil. See engine operator’s manual for more
information.
Limited use of low viscosity oils, may be used for easier starting and for providing
sucient oil ow at ambient temperatures below 23°F (-5°C). However, continuous use of low-viscosity oils can
decrease engine life due to wear.
ENGINE BREAKIN OILS
Do not use special “break-in” lubricating oils for new or rebuilt Cummins engines. Use the same type of oil during
the break in period as will be used during normal operations.
ARCTIC OPERATION
If an engine is operated in ambient temperatures consistently below -10°F (-23°C), and there are no plans to keep
the engine warm when it is NOT in operation, use a synthetic CD/SF engine oil with adequate low temperature
properties such as 5W-20 or 5W-30.

When lubricating the pinion gear and swing gear teeth, use moly-lith open gear lubricant.
When the gear path becomes contaminated, clean with solvent to remove contamination. Relubricate gear with
moly-lith open gear lubricant, available from an authorized dealer.
CYLINDER ROD CORROSION PREVENTIVE
If machine will be stored for an extended period, or stored in a corrosive environment
(such as salt air or industrial pollution), apply Chrome Kote Corrosion Preventive on all portions exposed to air.
See Storage section for more information.
ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS
Engine coolant must meet or exceed the following specications:
• SAE J1941
• ASTM 4985
• GM 6038M
• TMC RP 302B
The engine coolant must contain low silicate (less than .1% anhydrous metasilicate) ethylene glycol base. The
supplemental coolant additive (SCA) should be Fleetgard DCA4 or equivalent.
When preparing engine coolant, follow these steps:
1. Thoroughly mix ethylene glycol base coolant with SCA in this ratio: 93% coolant to 7% additive.
2. Mix coolant/additive compound with distilled water in this ratio: 50% coolant/additive compound to 50%
distilled water.

FUELS AND LUBRICANTS
STORING LUBRICANTS
Store lubricants in a clean area that will keep them protected from water, dirt, or other contamination.
Always use clean containers when handling lubricants.
Storing lubricant drums or other containers outdoors is poor practice. To minimize the harmful eect of
unavoidable outdoor storage, a few simple precautions and procedures can be very helpful.
1. Generally, lubricants in containers smaller than
drums (55-, 30-, and 16-gallon oil drums, and
400- and 120-pound grease drums) should never
be stored outdoors. When drums must be stored
outdoors, a temporary shelter or lean-to, or a
waterproof tarp will protect them from rain or
snow.
2. Drums should be placed on their sides with the
bungs approximately horizontal. In this position,
bungs are below the level of the contents so that
breathing of water or moisture is greatly reduced
and water cannot collect inside chine (ridge of
drum). For maximum protection, drums should
be stood on end with bung end down on a welldrained and contained surface. Where all of these
approaches are not practical, drum covers may
be used. Drum covers are available in metal and
plastic.
3. When drums must be stored outdoors with bung
end up, they should be blocked up with bungs
parallel to the block to keep water away from the
bung openings.
4. Drums that have a bung on the side should be
stored either on end or on their side with the
bung down. Regardless of their position, drums
should always be placed on blocks or racks several
inches o the ground to avoid moisture damage.
DISPOSE OF USED FLUIDS PROPERLY.
If machine will be stored
for an extended period, or stored in a corrosive
environment (such as salt air or industrial pollution),
using a sponge, apply Chrome Kote Corrosion
Preventive to portions exposed to air. See
section
