• Avoid any sudden movements with the
track drive system as this could cause the
head to swing backwards into the cab.
2. Never bring the feller directional head in close
to the machine while the feller directional head
is swinging on the end of the stick boom. See
Figure 2.
3. Do not use the head to pull downed trees
directly towards the cab. If the clamping arms
slip on the tree, the head may quickly swing
towards the cab.

• Depth gauges (rakers) must be maintained
through the life of a chain.
• Never exceed your chain manufacturer’s
operation recommendations.
1.11
In cold cutting conditions:
• Use a lighter weight lubricant, if possible,
doubling the flow rate.
• Periodically cycle the guide bar without cutting
(air cuts), this increases lubricant present on
the cutting system.
• Reduce bar feed force.
Conduct proper guide bar maintenance:
• Clean the guide bar groove from bar tip to bar
tail and keep the oil hole open.
• Turn the guide bar over on a daily basis to
equalize wear.
• Cycle the guide bar several times to remove
moisture from the guide bar tip.
• Ensure you maintain proper chain tension,
checking it often.
• During work breaks and at the end of each
shift, relieve chain tension to prevent damage
to the guide bar tip, saw motor and/or the
chain as the chain cools and contracts.
• Reduce chain speed.
In simple terms, your harvester head, when
operational, should be treated as if it is two loaded
guns (the bar tip and the bar tail) that pose a risk
of serious injury or death to the machine operator
and ground personnel.
The risk of a chain shot event cannot be
eliminated, but the risks can be reduced by
following the recommendations provided by your
cutting system manufacturer, and the operational
recommendations presented here.

LIGHTNING SAFETY
LIGHTNING In spite of the popular myth that being struck
SAFETY AWARENESS by lightning is an unlikely event, the facts show
that lightning strikes occur frequently. As a result
loggers are at high risk because their work is
outdoors and close to known strike points such as
tall trees and heavy equipment.
Loggers can increase their chances of avoiding
a lightning strike by following a few simple safety
practices.

PICTOGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Diagrams in pictorial form are used to represent machine function operation. Some of the symbols are
signs, characters, figures, or any components related to the operation of the machine. They are a simple
universal language of symbols or pictograms that illustrate a function or component without the use
of words. Pictograms are installed on or in close proximity to the switch or device used to activate or
deactivate the machine function or they may be a sign used on a warning or indicator light of a function
that is operating or advising of an alarm condition.
Examples of these pictograms are the turtle and the rabbit that are often used to describe
speed such as SLOW = or FAST = .
The pictograms used on this machine are as

follows:

cutting or damage the saw unit.
A side tear along the tree may stop the chainsaw
from returning if it is not cut on the downward
pass. The cut should be made past this tear.
Stems should be supported when cutting, as this
will avoid spliting.
A small amount of upward lift may be required as
the chainsaw completes the cut. This will keep the
cut open and avoid chain stall.
Care should be taken that the end of the bar does
not cut into the ground when completing a cut. The
chainsaw may also cut into another log damaging

in damage to the bar and chain.

CHECK VALVE
There is a check valve installed in the saw return
port on the bottom of the rotary manifold. This
check valve allows oil from the saw motor to
return from the saw motor back to the carrier but
prevents oil supplied in the saw return line from
getting to the saw motor.
The saw return line from the carrier also functions
as the tilt up control when it is pressurized. When
the saw is active you will see the saw head tilt
up slightly. This is due to the saw return pressure ROTARY MANIFOLD
affecting the tilt cylinders. FD5195-012 (EARLIER DESIGN)

WRIST TROUBLESHOOTING
KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF SPECIFIC VALVES
Check valve CV2 and CV4.
• Loss of rotate torque/speed and/or wrist will
not hold in a position when stopped if the
check valve is not seating.
Check valve CV1 and CV3.
• Loss of rotate control in a runaway condition
when rotating, however the wrist will hold
when stopped, if the check valve is not
seating.
• Wrist may jerk or bang when reversing rotate
direction if the check valve isn’t initially seated
when rotation begins.
Shuttle valve SA and SB.
• Wrist falls over with poor control if the shuttle
valves are missing or damaged,
• No wrist rotation. A stuck shuttle may prevent
pilot oil from shifting the counterbalance valve
open preventing rotation.
Charge pressure
• Charge pressure must be maintained to
maintain control. Always park head in a
stable position when machine is off. Do not
rely on the wrist to hold as there is no charge
pressure when machine is off and saw is not
running.
• The high torque motors are a cam-piston
design and require positive charge pressure
on both work ports to maintain control. If
charge pressure is low, or if case pressure is
high, the pistons will come off the cam and
the motor will free-wheel, with the pistons
potentially striking the cam causing a rattling
sound and piston/cam damage.

Parker Assembly Torque

The 4-Bolt Split Flange consists of four main The four-bolt port is simply a circular opening (flow
components: passage) surrounded by four tapped holes in a certain
• A body (flange head) pattern for acceptance of the flange clamping bolts. The
• An O-ring flat surface of the port compresses the O-ring contained
• One “captive” or two “split” flange clamps in the groove in the flange head when the clamp bolts
• Four bolts and washer are torqued. In some instances, the groove is in the
port and not in the flange head. The bolts, through the
clamp halves, clamp down the flange head on to the flat
surface of the port compressing and trapping the O-ring
WASHERS in the groove and leaving no gap for it to extrude under
pressure. The hydraulic pressure is thus sealed by the
BOLTS compressed O-ring as long as the bolts are tightened

HEAD The steps to properly assemble the flange port clamping
bolts are:
O-RING
1. Make sure sealing surfaces are free of burrs, nicks,
TAPPED scratches or any foreign particles.
HOLES
2. Lubricate the O-ring.
3. Position flange and clamp halves.
4. Place lock washers on bolts and insert through
clamp halves.
5. Hand tighten bolts.
