2.2 Signal Words

The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION determine the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual. The appropriate signal word

for each message in this manual has been selected

using the following guidelines:

DANGER –

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that,

if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme

situations typically for machine components which, for

functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and

includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe

practices.

CAUTION –

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may

also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment protection with personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage to the machine.

NOTE:

(plus text) – indicates an additional explanation for an element of information.

Safety

2.3 Why is SAFETY important?

Three Big Reasons:

• Accidents Disable and Kill

• Accidents Cost

• Accidents Can Be Avoided

YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and maintenance of your Wallenstein Log Skidding Winch. YOU must make sure that anyone who is going to use, maintain or work around the winch is familiar with the

operating and maintenance procedures and related SAFETY information contained in this manual.

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you but also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE

using this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures and follows

all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be

prevented.

Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.

2.4 Safety Rules

• DO give operating instructions to

operators or employees before

allowing them to operate the machine.

• DO always wear appropriate Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE). This equipment includes but is

not limited to the following:

- A hard hat

- Heavy gloves

• DO NOT expect a person who has not read and understood all use and safety instructions to operate the machine. An untrained operator is not

qualied and exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. It is the owners responsibility to the operator to make sure

familiarity and understanding of the machine.

• DO NOT modify the equipment in any way.

2.5 Operating Safety

Safety

• Understand the meaning of the safety signs on the machine. Keep them clean. Replace them if they

become damaged.

• Never operate this winch with guards or shields removed. The manufacturer has designed this

skidding winch to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached, to minimize the

chance of accidents.

• Read and understand the operator's manual before

starting. Review safety instructions annually.

• Do not allow anyone within 20 ft (6 m) of machine or logs during operation.

• Stand at least 10 ft (3 m) to the side to activate the winch.

• Do not touch or stand directly in line with cable

during operation.

• Check cable condition before using winch. Cable can break if it is kinked, corroded, knotted, or has broken strands. Replace if damaged.

• Never consume alcohol or take drugs that could

hinder alertness or coordination while operating

this equipment. Consult a doctor about operating this machine if taking prescription medications.

• Do not allow riders on this machine at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.

• Keep rear tractor wheels on level ground and lower

winch blade when winching to provide stability.

• Do not exceed winching angle of more than 25° off center.

• Always winch up a slope. It is not safe to winch

down slope. Logs could roll unpredictably. Do not

winch across a slope.

• Do not operate on hillsides or when working area is

cluttered, wet, muddy or icy to prevent slipping and tripping.

• Keep all components of PTO systems shielded and guarded.

• Regularly test driveline guards by spinning or rotating them to make sure they have not become stuck to the shaft.

• Disengage the PTO and shut off the tractor before

dismounting to clean, repair, service, or adjust machinery.

• Walk around tractors and machinery rather than

stepping over a rotating shaft.

• Do not exceed a safe travel speed when transporting.

2.6 Equipment Safety Guidelines

• Keep all shields in place. If shield removal

becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield

prior to use.

• Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is

not readable or is missing. Location of such safety

signs are indicated in this manual on page 13.

• Do not modify the equipment in any way.

Unauthorized modication may result in serious

injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.

• Never exceed the limits of the machine. If its ability to do a job is in question, or to do so safely –

STOP !

2.7 Safety Training

• Safety is a primary concern in the design and

manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our

efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.

• The best safety feature is an

informed, careful operator—we

ask you to be that kind of an

operator. It is the operator's

responsibility to read, understand and follow ALL safety and

operation instructions in the manual. Review Safety Sign Explanations on page 13.

• Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual before assembly or using the machine to acquaint yourself with it. If this machine is used by any

person other than yourself, or is loaned or rented,

it is the machine owner's responsibility to make

certain that prior to using, the operator:

- reads and understands the owner's manual

- is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment

- understands and knows how to perform the Safe Condition procedure

FX66, FX85/R, FX110/R, FX140/R PTO Skidding Winch

Safety

• Train all new personnel and review instructions

frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person

will use the machinery. Anyone not familiar with

operation and safety instructions is not qualied to

use the machine. An untrained operator exposes

himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with the work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and

accommodated.

• Know your controls and how to stop the machine

quickly in an emergency. Read this manual

thoroughly.

2.8 Preparation

• Never use the machine until the operators have

been adequately trained in the safe operation

of the machine and have read and completely understand:

- safety, operation and feature sections of this manual

- each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on the machine.

- engine operator's manual

• Perform the Pre-start Checklist procedure before starting work (see Pre-Operation Checklist on page

30).

• Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that

shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.

• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged

condition.

• Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and are routed to avoid chang.

• Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-limiting device to a higher pressure than

specied.

Safety

• PPE is recommended during assembly, installation,

operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving the trailer. Do not

allow long hair, loose tting clothing or jewelry

around equipment.

• Prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause permanent hearing loss! Power equipment with or without equipment attached can

often be noisy enough to cause

permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time

basis if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80 dB. Noise over 85 dB on a long-term basis

can cause severe hearing loss.

Noise over 90 dB adjacent to

the Operator over a long-term

basis may cause permanent, total

hearing loss.

• Be aware of overhead hazards: branches, cables,

electrical wires.

• Use only in daylight or good articial light.

• Make sure that all safety shielding and safety signs

are properly installed and in good condition.
