SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never work under or around the Feedwheel without
first disengaging clutch, turning off engine, waiting for
the Cutterhead to come to a complete stop, turning
Battery Disconnect Switch off, and you must have the
ignition key in YOUR possession. Some maintenance
requires that you work under the Feedwheel while it is
in the raised position. The Feedwheel Yoke assembly
is equipped with two safety devices that must be put in
place before work commences.
1. Yoke Lock Bars:
With the engine running, clutch disengaged, and the
Cutterhead completely stopped, raise the Feedwheel
Yoke to its maximum height using the Feedwheel Yoke
manual control valve. Then locate the Hydraulic Yoke
Lock valve and pull the lever. The Yoke Lock Bars
located on top of the Cutterhead housing will extend or
engage.
2. Safety Chain:
Now use the Safety Chain attached to the Discharge
Belt Conveyor rest and secure it to the lug located on
the right side of the Feedwheel Yoke. With the safety
devices in place lower the Feedwheel Yoke until it
contacts the Yoke Lock Bars and the Safety Chain pulls
tight. Disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the
Cutterhead to come to a complete stop, turn Battery
Disconnect Switch off, and you must have the ignition
key in YOUR possession. For added safety it is a good
practice to use an additional log chain to help support
the Feedwheel Yoke to the conveyor rest. When all
safety devices are in place you may start performing
maintenance to the machine.
Do Not feed this machine with the top feedwheel
pinned, blocked or secured in the open position.
