PERSONAL SAFETY!!!
Working in conditions with high levels of noise can lead to hearing damage, and even to
deafness. The noise level depends to some extent on the cabin insulation of the tractor, so
if necessary, use suitable hearing protection.
Avoid physical contact with the oil during maintenance/repairs; use gloves.

ROAD TRANSPORT!!!
- During transport on public roads, all applicable laws must be followed regarding lights
etc., as well as fitting of warning triangles on the tractor.
- Keep reflectors and lights clean.
- Warning! Due to changes in weight, the steering abilities of the tractor will be reduced.
- Absolutely no load is permitted in the forestry tong during transport on public roads.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
For the implement to work optimally, it needs to be inspected regularly. After 1 hour
’s use,
all hydraulic hoses and cylinders must be inspected for oil leaks, and inspection must be
carried out at regular intervals in the future. If there are items of equipment or safety
equipment that are not specifically mentioned here in this instruction book, they do not
belong to the normal program from Fransgård.
CHANGES IN CONSTRUCTION
Changes in the construction of the forestry tong may only be made with the expressed
permission of the manufacturer. If this is not observed, then limitations to the normal working
capacity, reductions to the safety and expected working life of the machine must be
expected.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MACHINE (in brief)
The forestry tong is intended to be used for the local transport of tree trunks from the felling
area to the intermediate log dump, other uses are not permitted without prior permission
from the manufacturer. If any other use than that mentioned above takes place, it will render
the guarantee null and void.
