6.8.1 Stopping in an Emergency
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the ignition switch OFF.
If possible, carefully lower the grapple load onto the trailer or
ground.
Correct fault situation before restarting.
6.9 Load Distribution
Always balance the load in the center of the trailer to maintain
a balanced weight distribution on the tires and trailer frame—
larger logs on the bottom and smaller on top. The best results
are obtained when loads are planned in a safe and common-
sense manner.
• Do not load logs above the height of the trailer bunks.
• Keep logs evenly distributed across the bunk. Do not load
logs to create a peak in the center of the load. The load
must be as level as possible.
• Make sure logs or branches are not protruding out of the
side of the trailer. Load should be contained within the
bunks.
• Make sure no logs are sitting in an unstable position.
• Secure the load by strapping it down when preparing to
transport.
