• Reduce the speed of boom movement.
Rapid movement could cause the base of
the head to swing backwards towards the
cab.
• 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 head in close to the machine
while the head is swinging on the end of the

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.

MACHINES WITH LEVELER
This machine is designed to operate on rough
terrain and slopes commonly found in forestry
applications. However, ground conditions vary
greatly with changing soil types, slope angles,
moisture, snow and ice, rocks, boulders and
stumps, and fallen trees. All of these factors
affect the machine’s stability against tip-over and
traction to resist slipping. This machine may not be
capable of operating on some ground conditions,
and must be used with caution.
Whenever possible work within the normal working 20°
range of the boom system as shown in FIG. 1.
NOTE: In any boom position, both inside and
outside of the normal operating range, there is a
risk of instability and tipping.
When it is necessary to work outside of the
normal working range, be aware that the stability
of the machine is reduced. The risk of tipping is
increased while operating in the reduced stability
working range.
Be aware that the machine is in its least stable
position on a slope with the boom to the rear.

Workers performing this work should wear
protective clothing, safety goggles and a fine
particle dust mask to minimize their personal
exposure to the dry chemical powder.
Ensure that all electrical systems have been
completely de-energized prior to any cleanup.
1. In areas of the machine that remained cool
and dry during the fire, the dry chemical will
stay in powder form.
Be certain to clean these areas immediately
to prevent any settled residual powder from
coming into contact with moisture whether
through direct contact or humidity in the air.
Remove the powder residue by blowing off
with air, sweeping, dusting or vacuuming using
a HEPA filter capable of trapping the small dry
chemical particles. Then wipe all surfaces with
a damp cloth.
2. In areas exposed to moisture, the dry
chemical powder will combine with water to
form a paste that is mildly acidic. Note that all
surfaces covered by this dry chemical paste
including electrical contacts are vulnerable to
corrosive attack.
To neutralize the acidic paste on large
surfaces, spray or wash these areas with a
mixture of 3 parts hot water to 1 part baking
soda. Allow this mixture to stand for several
minutes before rinsing with warm water. Wash
the area with a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse thoroughly with water. Blow-dry to
remove all residual water.
Cleaning of electrical contacts should be done
using an electrical contact cleaner that has
no flash or fire point and is non-corrosive and

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 = .

CHAIN LUBRICATION
The chain lubrication pump supplies oil to the
chain during the bar extend stroke and recharges SUCTION
when the bar retracts. The lubrication pump is STRAINER
supplied oil from the oil tank, located in the horn
at the top of the frame. A strainer is mounted in
the tank to prevent large particles from being
drawn into the pump. A vent is mounted in the OIL TANK SUCTION
tank filler cap to prevent pressure build up. An FC5185-025 STRAINER - FC5185
external check valve mounted on the saw control
manifold Oil A port prevents back flow to the tank
when the pump strokes to supply oil to the chain. SUCTION
An external check valve mounted on the saw STRAINER

The lubrication oil tank has a capacity of OIL TANK SUCTION
approximately 19L (5 US gal). There is a baffle FD5195-025
STRAINER - FD5195
in the tank to prevent sloshing and oil spillage.
Overfilling may result in oil spilling out the breather
or being forced out the pump in certain head

NOTE: The FD5195 maximum oil capacity is
achieved when the head is in the service position

problem may either be air in the tensioning system
or the chain tension is too loose.
First bleed the system. Refer to BLEEDING THE
CHAIN TENSION SYSTEM in this section.
If the problem persists chain tension pressure
may need to be adjusted. Tensioning pressure is
measured at ‘G2’ on the saw control manifold.
Abnormal wear of the chain or bar may indicate
that chain tension is set too tight.

WRIST BEARING WEAR LIMITS 7. Average both readings for the radial
clearance.
It is important that the wrist bearing be periodically
inspected for wear. Any significant wear will
be noticeable by observing the attachment’s
movement. A small amount of clearance in
the bearing is normal and is present in a new
attachment.
Too much clearance will affect the backlash
between the ring gear and the drive pinion for
the 340° wrist. If left unchecked, this will cause
damage to the gear teeth.
The main cause of wear in the ball race can be
due to a lack of lubricant or not following the
proper lubricating procedure. A damaged or SAW161 WRIST RADIAL CLEARANCE CHECK

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

• 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
