Test the brakes as soon as you start, and stop immediately if the brakes or steering operate
defectively.
Never adjust the seat or joysticks while driving.
Never leave the cab while the harvester is moving.
Never leave the engine running unattended.
Beware of the crane and the moving parts in the harvester head.
Never saw with the saw guide bar pointing towards the cab. If the saw chain comes loose it is
dangerous and may penetrate the window.
In cold weather heat the oil by circulating it through the harvester head, too, at low revolu-
tions and low pressure before starting work.
Drive carefully on hillsides; the harvester may overturn, particularly with the crane on the
downhill side.
The forest harvester cab is a safety cab.
The harvester has two exits. The left-side door is the normal exit. The right-hand side window
may be used as an emergency exit when the lock has been opened.
Always before getting in the cab, open or ensure from the outside that the lock on the right-
side door is unlocked.
When the harvester is in use, the exits must be closed. For safety reasons their construc-
tion must not be changed. When driving on frozen rivers or lakes, make sure the ice is strong
enough. When driving on ice, keeping doors open helps exiting cabin. In this case beware of
thight curves that may cause rear tyre to hit the door
Note the recommended safety distances when harvesting under power lines.
Stop the engine before cleaning or servicing the harvester.
Stop the harvester and the engine immediately if there is an alarm or any abnormal sounds
or smells. Find out the reason for them, and solve the problem before carrying on with
harvesting.
If there are leaking hydraulic connections, tighten the connections and wipe the oil off the
frame and underpan.
Support or lock the crane and the harvester head before going beneath them.
Never clean the harvester without proper equipment.
When leaving the harvester, lower the crane, stop the engine, remove the ignition key, lock
the door and turn the master switch to its zero position.
