Chutes
1.
Lift the bracing jacks to the brace position.
For each jack:
-
Remove the snapper pin.
-
Lift the jack up to the brace position.
-
Install the snapper pin to secure the jack.
2.
Hold the log-loader chute to prevent it from falling, while
you disconnect the log-loader chute lock arm:
-
Remove the linchpin from the tab on the LH side of the
log-loader chute.
-
Remove the lock arm from the log-loader chute and
rotate it down to the machine frame.
Make sure the tab on the LH side of the machine frame
goes through the lock arm slot.
-
Insert the linchpin through the tab to secure the lock
arm.
3.
Carefully fold down the log-loader and lead-in chutes until
the bracing jacks are on the ground.
4.
Close the two toggle-clamp latches to secure the log-loader
chute. The latches are located below the log-loader chute
(one on each side):
-
Rotate the handle down to the open position.
-
Place the latch bar over the catch plate.
-
Rotate the handle up to the closed position.
5.
Use the handle to unfold the lead-in chute.
6.
Adjust the bracing jacks until the feet are set firmly in the
ground and they support the log-loader chute.
Make sure the bottom edge of the lead-in chute is level with
and touches the ground to avoid logs getting snagged.
