WARNING

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 2x the line insulator length (2x6 =12 inches or 1 foot from electric line, which means you must stay at least 11 feet from the electric line).

G.003.02

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 let anyone else touch machine while it is touching an electric line. If it is not possible to move the machine 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 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:

Mount the machine

Dismount the machine

If you are in the operator’s station during an electrical storm, stay in the operator’s station. If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from the vicinity of the machine.

injury and/or machine damage.

Keep machine clean. Forest debris, rags, and trash will cause res. Remove all debris, rags, and trash from machine, especially around engine and hydraulic components.

Repair all hydraulic and fuel leaks immediately. Do not operate machine with hydraulic or fuel leaks.

Fire prevention beats re ghting. Remove debris from

all compartments after every eight (8) hours of operation, or more often, if warranted by working conditions.

Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.

Do not expose machine to ames, burning brush or other re hazards.

At the end of each shift ALWAYS stay with the machine for at least 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.

FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE

Fluids escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause severe personal injury or death.

Wear eye and personal protection equipment (PPE)!

Always use a board or cardboard when checking oil hoses, lines, and ttings periodically for leaks, cracks or defects. Be sure all clamps are in their proper position and torqued as required and specied. Be sure hoses are not twisted or touching parts.

DO NOT use hands to search for leaks. Escaping uids can penetrate skin and enter the bloodstream. Before disconnecting lines, relieve all pressure.

2570/2670 0109

DO NOT apply pressure to a damaged line, hose, or tting.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL

Shifting while tractor is moving will cause transmission damage and VOID your warranty. When shifting transmission,

• completely stop tractor,

• make sure propel pedals are in neutral position,

• depress throttle switch to LOW IDLE position, and;

• move transmission shift lever to desired position.

The 2-speed transmission is a non-sychronous gear type. Transmission must ONLY be shifted with machine at a complete stop, propel pedals in NEUTRAL, and engine at LOW IDLE.

1. Completely stop machine.

2. Make sure propel pedals are in NEUTRAL position.

3. Depress throttle switch (A) to LOW IDLE position.

4. Once tractor is completely stopped, move shift

lever into HIGH (B) or LOW (C)

5. Tractor may need to be articulated to complete

the shift. Do not use propel pedals to align gears. Doing so will cause transmission damage.

If you are using joystick steering, to complete the shift, you may have to articulate (steer) and slowly depress and release shift control button to desired gear position multiple times while steering.

When parking tractor, always lower attachment to the ground and set parking brake. DO NOT rely on the transmission to hold machine while parked.

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, conned 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 your machine model, check for ammable debris in the following locations:

• Engine block • Turbocharger

• Exhaust manifold • Battery

• Electrical connections • Control valves

Fire needs fuel. Remove combustible material (fuel for re) from heat sources. Keep the machine clean. Remove the following materials from areas of the machine that create heat:

• Pine needles • Twigs • Debris

• Shop rags • Oil spills • Coolant Mixture

• Leaves • Sticks

• Grease • Bark

• Sawdust • Diesel fuel

Keep the machine clean. Risk of re increases if combustible materials and amma-

ble materials build up on machine. This machine was 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 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.

Keep water tank pressurized. Check hose for damage; replace if necessary. Make sure hose and valves are clear of rust or sediment and water can ow freely.
