increased.
To reduce the chance of a fire starting, follow these

instructions:
• Clean dust and debris from the machine regularly.
• Clean the radiator and oil cooler regularly to

ensure components are maintained at efficient
working temperatures.
• Inspect the machine daily for potential fire hazards

and make any necessary repairs immediately.
• Inspect electrical wiring and connections, fuel and

hydraulic hose runs to ensure they are secure and
not rubbing against other components.
• Clean up any excess grease and oil accumulation

and spillage immediately.
• Use only non-flammable solutions for cleaning the

machine or components.
• Store rags and other combustible materials in a

safe, fireproof location.
• Before starting repair work, such as welding, the

surrounding area should be cleaned and a fire
extinguisher should be close by.
• Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the vehicle

of personal injury.
General
For ease of handling, the bogie tracks are shipped in

four sections:
Two sections contain all welded links (A).
Two sections contain welded links and two removable

links (B).
One section of all welded links (A) and one section with
removable links (B) are assembled together with track
locks to become one "set of tracks", which is then
installed on one side of the bogie.
The second "set of tracks" are then assembled for

installation on the other side of the bogie.
Track locks are supplied in two widths:
Short locks - 85 mm (3-11/32 in.) wide.
Long locks - 135 mm (5-5/16 in.) wide.

1. Select one section with all welded links and one

section with removable links.
2. Assemble these two sections together using two of

the long locks (135 mm).
3. Repeat this procedure with the two remaining

sections of track.
IMPORTANT:
Always install the track locks so that the lock plate and
roll pins are on the outside of the track.
Track Installation
1. Three chains, each with a swivel hook on one end

are required to install the tracks:
One length (A) - 1/2" dia. x 25 ft

(for pulling the track around the tires).
Two lengths (B) - 1/2" dia. x 4 ft (for track

tensioning).
2. Lay one set of tracks behind the machine in line with

the bogie tires.
3. Attach the long chain (A) to the center of the first

track bar and run the chain up over the tires.

Section 2
Operating Technique
General
The following technique covers some of the important points for the operator to keep in mind before and while using
the 933D Clambunk Skidder.
The illustration below shows a systems approach to effective harvesting.
1. Trees are felled and bunched in small piles with a Timbjack feller buncher.
Each bunch of trees are piled with the butt ends pointing toward the logging road.
Each bunch of trees are placed at an angle of 15 to 30 o relative to the direction of travel.
2. The shallow angle is important for two reasons:
a) With the trees neatly bunched, paths are created for the clambunk skidder to follow behind the feller
buncher.
b) Bunched trees are easy for the operator to pick up and load on the clambunk, thus ensuring fast, efficient
skidding to the processing site.
0228
2 - 32
Section 2
Operating Technique
Planning the Operation

The felling operation of the area to be harvested should
be carefully considered. The most preferable felling
pattern is where the trees are placed in rows (single
stems or pre-bunched) with the butt ends pointing
toward the processing site or the clambunk’s direction of
travel.
Steep slopes, soft ground, and other limitations can

have a major impact on the machine’s productivity. Plan
the felling pattern and skidding routes so that these
trouble spots (in particular hillside operation on steep
slopes) can be avoided.
By starting loading and skidding at the outer boundary

and working along a row of timber, the operator can
ensure that all merchantable trees are picked up.
While traveling into the harvesting area the operator will

obtain knowledge of the terrain while the machine is
empty. By knowing the terrain ahead, the operator will
be able to avoid trouble spots when he returns with a full
load of timber.
Starting from the outer boundary and working toward a

centralized location provides a uniform flow of trees to
the processing site so that other equipment can be fully
utilized.
To maximize performance of the clambunk skidder, the

operator should take advantage of the dual control
arrangement. After a load is unloaded, the operator
should turn his seat around and drive the machine in
reverse to the starting point for the next load.
As well as saving time by not having to turn around, the

bogie wheels will compact a trail and increase travel
speed of the machine. Driving this way in winter, where 0226
the area is covered with snow is also advantageous.
2 - 33
Section 2
Operating Technique
Drag Loading
CAUTION
Do not attempt to back up when the clambunk is
loaded. Pushing the load up on the bunk can be
hazardous and may cause equipment damage.
The best and fastest method of loading the Clambunk is

a method called "Drag Loading" where you use the
machine’s power, not just the loader, to swing the next
tree parallel to those already in the bunk.
Always start loading the Clambunk at the back of the

block with the furthest bunch of trees from the landing
and keep adding bunches to the load as you travel
toward the landing.
Load the first bunch of trees into the bunk with the
loader, close the bunk arms and drive to the next pile.
Drive the Clambunk up beside the next bunch and stop

the machine when the leading rear bogie tire is opposite
the butts of the pile.
Grab the trees three to four feet behind the butts and
swing the load onto the closed bunk arms and hold them
there with the grapple.
2 - 34
Section 2
Operating Technique
Drag Loading
Continue holding the trees on top of the closed bunk
arms and drive ahead to the next bunch to be loaded.
The trees being "dragged" will automatically swing
around and become parallel to those already in the bunk
and the machine moves forward.
If working with very short trees, hold the tree bunch on

top of the load, behind the bunk arms, so that the tops of
the "dragged" trees can swing around behind those 0174-4
already in the bunk arms.
In some cases, where there are a lot of bunches close

together, you may have to skip over some bunches in
order to travel at least one tree length to allow the tops
of the "dragged" trees to swing around in line with those
in the bunk.
0174-6
Once the "dragged" trees are in line with those in the

bunk, stop beside the next tree bunch, open the bunk
arms and place the bunch that has been "dragged" into
the bunk. Close the bunk arms and tighten the cables
around the load.

Section 2
Operating Technique
Loading and Skidding
CAUTION
1. Position the clambunk skidder parallel with the

timber to be loaded with the butts located just ahead
of the leading rear bogie tire.
2. Load the timber closest to the bogie wheels first and

work progressively away from the machine.
3. Clambunk loading should always be started at the

farthest point away from the processing site.
When all of the timber from this pile is loaded,

or when the outer range of the loader is reached,
drive the skidder forward to the next pile and
continue loading.
Do not attempt to reposition the clambunk skidder to

pick up more timber from one pile once the wood is
beyond the reach of the loader.
2 - 36
Section 2
Operating Technique
Loading and Skidding

4. Keep the load as close as possible (about one foot)
to the loader base to improve machine traction and
reduce drag on the load.
5. When moving forward, close the clambunk arms and

tighten the cables as much as possible. For
additional security when traveling with a full load,
grab the top of the load with the grapple just above
the clambunk arms.
Driving to the Landing

When fully loaded, the center of gravity of the machine
is well above of an empty one, and a side hill or
obstruction may upset the balance.
2 - 37
Section 2
Operating Technique
Driving to the Landing

When driving across a slight side hill, or over a minor
obstacle, swing the empty loader to the high side of the
hill to maintain stability.
Where conditions are move severe, pick a bunch of

trees from the clambunk and swing the loader to the
high side of the hill.
On steeper side hills, shifting the entire clambunk may

be necessary to maintain machine balance.
Stop the clambunk skidder and open the bunk arm on

the high side of the load. Push the load over as far a
necessary with the other bunk arm. Close both arms and
retighten the cables before moving forward.
Reposition the load once the machine is back on level

ground.
2 - 38
Section 2
Operating Technique
Dropping the Load

While the clambunk skidder is traveling forward, lift the
grapple free of the load, and open both clambunk arms
quickly. The cables will release automatically, and the
load will fall evenly to the ground.
Important:
Do not stop the skidder to drop the load. Trees may
become hung up on the cables, scattering the timber.
Traveling Empty
After unloading, come to a full stop and tighten the
cables, then store the loader in the rest position.
Secure the grapple to the frame.
Important:
It is important to tighten the cables before storing the
loader. If they are left loose, they will become kinked
from being pinched between the loader boom and the
bunk.
CAUTION
If you need to change direction, back the skidder up

rather than making a "U" turn.

Tree Size Versus Tree Weight
A. Full Tree Weight
The rule of thumb is "Double the diameter of a white

spruce, and the larger one is five times heavier".
B. Productivity
From the Weight table, you will see that you have to
harvest 17 - 6 in. white spruce trees to get the same
volume found in a single 20 inch tree.
Harvest the small trees as quickly as possible.
C. Thinning Potential
If a stand of 6 in. white spruce was thinned, the

residual trees would only have to grow to 8 inches in
diameter for each to be double the weight or volume
of a 6 in. tree.

52. IPS Box Adjustments
Initial Adjustment Setting
The basic adjustment of the IPS 302 adjusting unit was

pre-set at the factory at the following values:
- Primary current 200 mA (the stick slightly deflected).
- Maximum current 400 mA (the stick fully deflected).
The current ratings indicate the extend of the control

impulse directed to the PVE 102 proportional pilot valve.
At the PVE 102 valve the electric control impulse is
converted into a hydraulic control impulse; i.e., a certain
current (mA) converts to a certain control impulse
pressure which is used to move the spool of the
directional valve and, consequently, to control the
primary hydraulic flow.
The loader should be operated at the basic adjustments

until all air has been purged from cylinders and hoses
and the hydraulic system has reached its normal
operating temperature.
With the hydraulic system warmed up and purged of air,

the start-off sensitivity and maximum speed of the loader
should be adjusted per following instruction.
Adjusting the Start-off Sensitivity
Operate the engine at low idle.
Carefully move the joystick until the corresponding IPS

function LED lights up.
a. If the cylinder selected does not start to move, turn

the "minimum" adjusting screw of the corresponding
IPS function clockwise to the point where the
cylinder just starts to move.
b. If the motion of the cylinder is too abrupt right after

the LED has lit up, turn the adjusting screw
counterclockwise until the start-off speed is suitable.

The cord (column A) and cubic meters stacked (column C) measure "apparent" volume.
The cunit (column B) and cubic meter solid (column D) measure "solid" volume.
Accurate conversions are possible between columns A and C, and between B and D only.
Any other conversions are approximate and wood volume will vary with tree species, size, etc.
Example:
1 cunit (column B) = exactly 2.832 solid meters (Column D)
1 cord (column A) = approximately 2.407 solid cubic meters (Column D)
*FBM is the abbreviation of 1 Board Ft. (Foot Board Measure).
