6.14 Unload the Log Trailer
Stay 50 ft (15 m) or more away from overhead
and underground electrical cables. Electrocution
can occur without direct contact through an
electrical arc. Electrocution can cause burns,
serious injury, or death.
Always be aware of the position of the boom and
01658
material being handled. In cases where the boom
is fully retracted and handling an 8 ft (2.4 m) log,
it is possible to create an impact or crush hazard
for the operator at the control station. For more
information, see Create a Safe Work Area on
page 11.
Never lift or move objects over people. Keep
people out of the work zone. A log that swings or
falls from the log grapple can cause severe injury
or death.
IMPORTANT! Before using the log grapple, estimate the
position where the log's centre-of-mass is located. Lift the
log at it's centre-of-mass to keep it balanced in the log
01660
grapple.
IMPORTANT! Monitor the log when you move the boom
or log grapple, to make sure that the log does not hit the
machine.
For information about the boom and log grapple controls, see
Main Hydraulic Controls on page 28.
