INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Your Barko Mulcher has been designed and manufactured with high quality materials and care in workmanship. This

manual is intended as a permanent reference to aid professional operator's in their work, and should be available for

use at any time. If the machine is not equipped with this manual, ask your supervisor to obtain one for you.

Understand the correct servicing procedures before servicing the machine. It is important to know the correct

operating and servicing procedures of the mulcher and all safety precautions to prevent the possibility of property

damage and/or personal injury or death.

As a professional, trained operator, you are responsible for safety, both your own and that of your co-workers. Your

knowledge and use of all safety practices and correct servicing procedures in this manual, and your good judgement,

can be a major factor in preventing some of the thousands of injuries and deaths caused by industrial accidents each

year.

A professional operator should also be familiar with the information contained in other applicable sources such as

American National Standards, SAE, OSHA, etc.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Logging Safety Resource Guide (APA, 95-A-1) is available from the American Pulpwood Association. This guide lists

sources of videotapes, slide programs, movies, and publications on various aspects of logging safety.
