Beware of  hot engine muffler or any other component of the 

machine. Severe burns can result by making contact with a 

heated part. 

!

CAUTION

Do not slam log deck arms down from raised 

position. Hinge or pivot bolt could break, 

consequentially causing severe injury. Keep hands and arms 

away from the hinge or chains while lowering the deck arms. 

These are severe pinch points. Beware of deck arm leg sliding 

out of arm. This will happen if leg is not properly pinned onto the 

arm. Double check all pins before attempting to raise or lower 

deck arms. Always make sure deck arm legs are firmly resting on 

the ground before operating the machine.

NOTICE

Always lower front stabilizer leg before operating or after parking 

the machine. Never rely on the jack for machine stability in 

operation or storage. Always park the machine on level ground. 

Always keep tire pressure at recommended levels. 

!

DANGER

Never attempt to operate the machine on any kind of slope. The 

machine can slowly move or creep away from the proper location 

causing potential personal injury or equipment damage. 

!

DANGER

Never operate the the machine without the conveyor safety chain 

properly hooked. Failure to do so could potentially cause the 

conveyor to collapse causing injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

unventilated area. Engine exhaust fumes can cause severe 

sickness or death. Never refuel in an unventilated area or 

while engine is running. DO NOT SMOKE 

WHILE REFUELING OR OPERATING THE 

MACHINE. Be careful to not overfill the fuel 

tank. Clean up any spilled fuel before starting

WARNING

Never jump start your engine during freezing temperatures. A 

frozen battery can be explosive. Always first warm the battery 

before attempting to use jumper cables. Watch for a bulging 

battery or ice formation within battery acid. Insure your battery 

has the proper cold cranking amps while starting in cold 

conditions. Always keep battery in a ventilated area since battery 

fumes are explosive. Never allow battery acid to make contact 

with your skin or clothes since it is extremely corrosive and will 

severely burn. Never allow battery to be exposed to sparks or 

open flame. Always use face and hand protection when servicing 

a battery. Always keep battery in the enclosure on the machine.   

!

DANGER

Always keep machine 

well maintained 

and any broken or 

worn parts replaced. 

Never remove any guarding or safety devices from the machine. 

Replace any shields after one happens to be destroyed or lost. 

Before servicing any part of machine, shut engine off and 

remove key from ignition.
