Press the ”grapple close”-button to cut the tree.

Use the crane and rotator to move and turn the tree for
good felling direction.

Press shortly the ”grapple open”-button to release the

tilt lock.

Tree is felling

Select the cutting length

Automatic drive

Press the ”grapple close”-button and hold it down.

Delimbing strokes are repeated automatically, until the

target length is reached.

Delimbing head moves forward. If the measured length

is below the target, short correction stroke is made.
Cutting starts. (Cutting resets the measured length)

Release the ”grapple close” to stop the cutting.

Press the ”grapple open”-button to return the saw bar or
cutting knife.

Select the cutting length

If not the same. Press
the ”grapple close”-button
And hold it down…
 Automatic drive

The end of the processing. Treetop dropping

Press the ”grapple close”-button and hold

it down.
Just after the delimbing stroke changes the
direction on the rear position, release the
”grapple close”-button and press the
”grapple open”-button and hold it down.

Delimbing stroke moves to rear position,

grapples and delimbing knives open and
the treetop drops.
The harvester head tilts up for next felling.

 Parameters
FBD 007 Numeric value Factory setting 2910
PULSE TO LENGTH
Do not change this value (unless you replace the sensor with different sensor or replace
the measuring wheel with a different wheel). Configure the cutting length error
with parameter FBD 060.
Sensor bearing 128 pulses/round
Measuring wheel diameter 14 cm.
Circumference 43,98 cm.
Pulses
× 1000 = 2910 = FBD 007 value
Circumference

FBD 060 Numeric value Factory setting 1000

LENGTH CORRECTION
Length correction for length measuring. Change value to correct error between measured log length and actual log length.
Actual length
× current FBD 060 value = new FBD 060 value
Set length

FBD 065 Timer A/C Factory setting 10 (x 0,1 s.)

CUTTING RESET TIME
Measured length resets after cutting. You can adjust the time for cutting before length is reset. Factory setting 10 x 0,1 s. = 1,0 s

FBD 084 Numeric value Factory setting 10 (cm)

MAXIMUM PERMITTED LENGTH CORRECTION BEFORE CUTTING. (cm)
When the setting dimension is reached and the delimbing stroke changes the direction for the last stroke, the holding arms hinge movement
sometimes decreases the dimension. This is corrected by additional short strokes before cutting. This value is the maximum permitted
correction length for one stroke.
Factory setting 10 cm minimizes the repeated short strokes but may occasionally increase the final length 1 – 5 cm.
Setting value 3-9 cm decreases the additional length but may cause more repetitive short strokes before cutting.

FBD 093 Numeric value Factory setting 15 (cm)

MINIMUM LENGTH FOR CROSS CUT SUMMARY (cm)
This value affects only the “Virtual Display” Summary display. Logs under this value are not included in the “Cross cuts” summary in the
Summary display.

FBD 240 Value 0 or 1

AUTOMATIC DRIVE
Normally this value is 1. If Bluetooth measuring system is equipped only with manual drive, the value must be 0.
