Transport
During transport, the felling grapple must be secured to prevent it from tipping and/or rolling over. A
wooden pallet with sufficient supportive strength can be used, as well as a wooden block on which the
saw casing can rest. Subsequently, the felling grapple must be strapped tightly to the pallet to prevent
it from tipping over. This is how it will arrive if the felling grapple is supplied by GMT Equipment.
Transport to the pallet
Due to transport requirements the chain lubrication hose is not allowed
to loose oil. This hose is connected between the oil pump and the saw
bracket and has been left empty for transport.
Before the unit can be put into service please ensure the hose is filled with oil again.
Instruction:
Use an air compressor to carefully pressurize the oil tank. The pressure will start the oil flow from the
tank through the oil pump all the way to the saw bracket. When oil bleeds on the chain and the saw
bar the chain lubrication hose has been filled again.
