LXT95 / LXT115
Log Trailer & Grapple
• Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is not
readable or is missing. Location and explanation of safety
signs are on page 15.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may result in serious injury or death and may
impair the function and life of the equipment. Unapproved
modifications void warranty.
• Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability
to do a job, or to do so safely is in question – DO NOT TRY
IT.
• LXT95 Log Loader / Trailers are not intended for use or
transport on public roadways. For more information, see
Transporting on page 43.
2.6 Safe Condition
Throughout this manual, we talk about a 'Safe Condition'. What
this means is setting the machine in a state that makes it safe to
service or repair.
Place the machine in a Safe Condition before performing
any service, maintenance work or storage preparation by
performing the following:
Safe Condition
– Grapple is closed and resting on trailer
– Boom lock pin installed
– Fuel valve is turned off (power pack equipped)
– Trailer load is secure
– Tow vehicle parking brake is applied. Engine stopped
2.7 Safety Training
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of
Wallenstein products. Unfortunately, efforts to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act.
• Learn the controls and how to stop the machine quickly in
an emergency. A person who is not aware of operation and
safety instructions is not qualified to use the machine.
• Make sure every operator:
- Reads and understands the operator's manual
- Is instructed in safe and proper use of the equipment
- Understands and knows how to perform the Safe
Condition procedure
• Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently
with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained,
physically able person uses the machine.
• An untrained operator can cause possible serious injury
or death. If the elderly are assisting with the work,
their physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
2.8 Hydraulic Safety
• Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic system
are kept in good condition and are clean.
• Before applying pressure to the system,
make sure all components are tight, and
that lines, hoses and couplings are not
damaged.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines,
fittings or hoses by using tapes, clamps or cements. The
hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure.
Such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and
unsafe condition.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection
when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard as a backstop instead of
hands to isolate and identify a leak.
• If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid
piercing the skin surface.
• Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before maintaining or
working on system.
