2.4 Safety Rules
CAUTION!
Hearing loss hazard. Prolonged
exposure to loud noise may cause
permanent hearing loss. Use suitable
protection while operating the
machine.
W016
Wallenstein Equipment puts considerable effort into designing
products that are safe to use; however, it is also the
responsibility of the operator to use the equipment safely.
For safety information that is specific to machine operation,
service, or maintenance, see the applicable section in this
manual.
• It is the operator's responsibility to read,
understand, and follow ALL safety and
operating instructions in this manual.
• If you do not understand any part of this
manual or require assistance, contact your
local dealer, the distributor, or Wallenstein
Equipment.
• Do not let anyone use this machine until they read this
manual. Operator's must have a thorough understanding of
the safety precautions and how the machine works. Review
the safety instructions with all users annually.
• Operators of this machine must be responsible, physically
able people who are familiar with machinery and trained
in the operation of this equipment. If an elderly person is
assisting with the work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.

2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety is one of the main concerns in designing and developing
equipment. However, every year many accidents occur that
could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
Avoid hazards by observing the following precautions. Insist
anyone working with you follow them as well.
• Replace safety or instruction signs (decals) that are not
readable or missing. For locations and explanations, see
Safety Signs on page 13.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized

the life of the equipment and void the warranty.
• Make sure that the machine is correctly stationed, adjusted,
and in operating condition.
• Keep the machine free of accumulated trash, grease, and
debris to prevent fires.
• If the machine has a winch accessory installed, replace the
winch synthetic rope if it is kinked, badly frayed, has knots,
cuts, or broken strands. If the rope fails under tension, it
can snap back with great force causing injury or death.
Avoid sudden jerks, quick starts or stops. Start slowly and
smoothly.
• Never exceed the limitations of the machine. If its ability to
do the job, or to do it safely is in question–STOP!
2.6 Safe Condition

8. Disconnect the engine spark-plug wire.
Keep the spark-plug wire away from the spark plug to
prevent the engine from being started accidentally.
2.7 Safety Training
An untrained operator can cause serious injury or death to
themselves or others. Review the safety instructions with all
users annually. The Sign-Off Form on page 10 can be used to
keep a training record.
• An employer has the responsibility to train employees how
to operate the equipment they are using. When someone
does not understand the basic operation of a piece of
equipment, they can create dangerous situations very
quickly. Operators must completely understand the safety
information in this manual and the safety decals on the

2.9 Work Site
CAUTION!
It is the responsibility of the operator to be
thoroughly familiar with the work site before
starting work. Avoid unsafe situations and make
every e󰀨ort to prevent accidents.
2.9.1 Select a Work Site
Select a safe work area and machine location:
• Avoid a close or cramped workspace. Make sure that there
is enough space and clearance for the machine and logs.
• Avoid extremely wet or soft conditions where the trailer jack
and stabilizers will become buried. If necessary, place a
board or plate under the stabilizer bases.
• The area must be clear of stones, branches, or hidden
obstacles that might cause a tripping, hooking, or snagging
hazard.
• There must be no overhead hazards such as branches,
cables, and electrical wires. If necessary, modify the work
zone eliminate the following hazards:
-Telephone lines.
-Tree branches.
-Roof overhangs.
-Wash lines, ropes, or cables.
-Overhead electrical cables (stay a minimum of 50 ft
(15 m) away).
2.9.2 Create a Safe Work Area
Heavy material that falls, drops, rolls, or material that is on a
rotating boom creates impact and crush hazards for people in
the work zone.
To keep the operator, workers, and bystanders safe from
hazards, follow these important guidelines:
• Create a 90° operator-and-worker safety zone based on
the position of the work station, and material stack. Never
move the log grapple or material into the operator and
worker safe zone.
• Turn the operator console to a position that is opposite
the work area. If work area is on the LH side of the trailer,
position the control station on the RH side of the trailer.
• Always be aware of the position of the boom and the
material being handled.
• Establish a work zone perimeter and mark it with safety
cones. The work zone includes any area where the log
grapple is being used and can include the traveled portion
of a road if it is being used as a landing.
• The work zone perimeter must be a minimum of 20 ft (6 m)
from any hazard.
The area outside the work zone perimeter is the safe zone.
• The work zone in a forestry operation must be planned,
located, constructed, maintained, and operated to make
sure that the following are possible:
-Logs can be moved safely in the work zone.
-Log stacks and the equipment used to handle the logs
do not become unstable or otherwise create a hazard.
-Workers can work in locations that are clear of moving
logs and equipment.
-Workers are not exposed to incoming or runaway logs,
or other debris.
-The area is kept free from the buildup of bark and other
debris to the extent that it would pose a risk to the
workers.
-An effective method of dust control is used and
maintained.
• Never let anyone in the work zone during machine
operation.
• Only the operator can authorize entry into the operator-and-
worker safety zone. The operator must first make sure that
it is safe to enter.
• Workers must signal and make eye contact with the
operator before entering the operator-and-worker safety
zone. Have a hand-signal scheme worked out. The operator
must always be aware of the location of their coworkers.
• Keep all bystanders in the safe zone. Never let bystanders
in the work zone.
• Use extreme caution around the material stacks. Stacked
logs can roll in unpredictable ways.
The following illustration is an example of a safe work area. Not
all work areas are the same, but the principles presented here
can be applied to any work area.

or oil.
• The ambient temperature must be above 50 °F (10 °C).
• A squeegee, plastic bank card, or similar tool is necessary
to smooth out the decal.
Procedure
Determine the exact position for the decal before
removing the backing paper. If possible, align the
decal with an edge on the machine.
1. Peel the decal off the backing paper.
2. Position the decal above the location where it is being
applied to the machine.
3. Starting at one edge, carefully press the center of the
exposed sticky-backing in place, smoothing it out as you
work from one side to the other.
4. Use an appropriate tool to smooth out the decal, working
from one end to the other.
Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed
out using a piece of the decal backing paper.

4. Familiarization
Your LXT95 or LXT115 log loader trailer is designed for an
operator to load and transport logs. Use the boom and log
grapple to lift logs and then place them on the trailer. Power to
operate the machine is provided by a gas engine and hydraulic
pump.
4.1 New Operator
WARNING!
Make sure that all operators understand how
to place the machine in a safe condition before
performing any service, maintenance, or storage
preparation. For instructions, see Safe Condition
on page 9.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read
this manual, and to train all other operators before they work
with the machine. Follow all safety instructions.
An operator that does not have the correct training is not
qualified to use the machine. They can endanger themselves
and others or damage property.
4.2 Training
Each operator must be trained in the correct operating
procedures before using the machine. The Sign-Off Form on
page 10 can be used to keep a training record.
1. Review control locations, functions, and movement
directions.
2. Move the machine to a large open area and let the new
operator become familiar with the control functions and
machine responses.
3. When the new operator is familiar and comfortable with the
machine, they can proceed with the work.
4.3 Operator Orientation
IMPORTANT! Unless otherwise specified, the left hand
(LH), right hand (RH), forward, and backward directions
described in this manual are referenced from the operator
control panel position when facing the direction of forward
machine travel.
