THE KOHLER GAS ENGINE:
Can be safely operated at 3700 rpm. This is typically set at the
factory. The engine should be choked for approx 5 seconds.
If you are running a diesel please refer to the CAT manual
provided. The choke pull is beside the throttle pull.
The oiler must be turned on at all times. There are 2 options
for oilers on the SC-14. The standard oiler pulls oil from
the hydraulic tank. There will be a knob on the power block
to control the oil ow on a machine that is oiling from the
hydraulics, this must be turned one 1/4 of a turn. You should
see oil dripping o the chain sprocket. The bar should be getting
enough oil to prevent discoloring from overheating. If you get
excessive oil, you may experience a spray or mist hitting the
operator. This indicates too much oil. The system will apply oil
every time the saw bar is coming down. You will need to watch
the oil level. You may need to add several quarts per day. The
second option is a dedicated oiler. The oil reservoir is on the
back shield with the oil pump below. The control is on the oiler
pump.
THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM uses a standard 46 weight hydraulic
uid. Check the oil level daily. It
should always be in between the
high and low marks on the level
gauge. The temperature gauge
is also on the level. It should not
exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Running in excess could damage
the hydraulic system. The tank holds
25 gallons of oil and can be lled by
opening the cap on the top, see Fig 5 check the
level before you run the machine.
The log deck needs to be lowered before the
logs can be placed on top. These are serious
pinch points and can cause serious injury, see
Fig 6. The legs must be dropped to the
ground
or set on blocks and pinned into place.
