3. Familiarization
3.1 Training
Each operator must be trained in the proper set-up and
operating procedures prior to being allowed to operate the
machine.
1. Review control location, function and movement directions.
2. Move the unit to a large open area to allow the operator
to become familiar with control function and machine
response.
3. When a new operator is familiar and comfortable with
the machine, they can proceed with the work. Do not
allow untrained operators to use the machine. They can
endanger themselves and others or damage property and
the machine.
3.2 Job Site Familiarization
It is the responsibility of the operator to be thoroughly familiar
with the work site prior to starting. Prevent the chance or
possibility of problems or accidents by not being in the situation
to start with. Some items the operators should check include
but are not limited to:
1. Close or cramped work space. Be sure there is sufficient
space and clearance for the machine to winch-in the log
during operation.
2. Organize the working area to minimize the winching and
wood removal distances. The shorter the distances, the
faster the work will be finished.
3. Use care when pulling logs from a pile for splitting as they
can roll when attaching the rope or winching toward the
splitter.
4. Position the machine so prevailing winds blow engine
exhaust fumes away from operator's station.
3.3 Operator Orientation
IMPORTANT! The directions for left-hand, right-hand,
backward and forward mentioned throughout this manual
are determined when sitting in the tractor seat, facing the
direction of forward travel.
